New Pedal Alert - One Knob Fuzz[/b] - £40

This one was built for the website as the first one, and I'm thinking of sending it round to the demo people to get some demos made - Doog, Proggie, Hurb - interested?

Whats this one? Opamp????? whaaaa????? First thought was a meathead but those dont use opamps
whatever it is, i'd love to have a go at it/halfass attempt at a demo. shipping across the way doesn't justify any of that though.

'tis my updated riff on the old 70s IC Muff Fuzz. It sounds fucking thick as BALLS.



This gives you a rough idea of what it sounds like

Slap me with anything you want demoed, mate- I relish the opportunity! We'll have to go for that drink soon, maybe we can pass stuff around then.

Yeah I'll pass the pedal off to Doog first and then he can mail it round to Proggie and Hurb and we'll get all the videos up on my madebymikepedals youtube which looks SHITE at the moment as I'm a lazy boy.

Stewart and Gavin were playing it drunkenly after DO YOU READY? and I think they quite liked it.

Quick question for you Mike. Is the only difference between your silicon and germanium Tonebender the type of transistors in the pedal (and obviously the sound)? If so, if I swapped the transistors over in mine for silicon transistors would it work and would it be daisy chain friendly?

Short answer? No.
