Singing the Praise of the Wolly Mammoth

Post by HNB »

I just got a clone in the day before yesterday and I really like it. Since it sounds like the demos, I feel comfortable plugging the official one as well. It is a really cool fuzz. It is a nice alternative to my Chilicone. The Mammoth is much bassier which makes sense because it is a bass fuzz, but guitarists use it as well. It isn't muddy by any means. The tone knob is very useful and gives a pretty large range of sound. The next knob seems to control sustain and gating. On the official release pedal it is called pinch which makes sense. If you dial it all the way down, you get a very sputtery 8 bit like sound that is really interesting. All the way open and you get serious sustain like fuzzes tend to do. The last knob (Wool on the official pedal) seems to be a gain knob. That one is similar in effect to the Chilicone. Cranked you get a good amount of background noise in the signal with single coils that goes away if you back it off. Depends on how nasty noisy you want to be.

I am planning on doing a demo tonight or maybe this weekend. I will at least get pictures up. I picked it up from a forum peep here. It looks stunning. It is candy blue in color. No labels or decals since it is a clone built pedal. Not much space to get anything labeled either. I could make a decal I suppose, but I don't know that I want to take it apart just to say what is what. :)

Yeah they sound good, and low parts count is a bonus. I built one for the bassist in JAMC.

Cheers. They've got a few of mine, but god knows if they use em!

HNB, love that blue sparkle paint powder coat, looks nice with the white knobs. I'd have used a bezel or lens to mount the LED, but hey-ho. Post guts if you're bored?
