NGD: First up - Fuzz

Post by shae »

New Gear Day for those who don't read the CSB.

So first to hit the new 'setup' is a fuzz pedal I picked up locally for a very good price. I've only tried it through my Laney Linebacker and that's on it's last legs as it is so I cannot wait for the new amp to come in. It sounds as I imagined; very interactive. I don't know but I put these kinds of effects in to two categories- "pedal" and "interactive". This definitely falls into the latter. I can get some really high gain settings while playing clean just through dynamics. It's pretty darn near sensitive. I got the 'mojo' one with no 'addons'. Personally, if I bought new as I was planning to I wanted the whole deal- 9v, top jacks and GREEN LED but yeah the price won me over in the end.

I live for Fuzz Face circuits so I'm really eager to try this through a good amp.

GEWD pedal.

I also got a Korg Pitchblack on the cheap. My first stompbox tuner. I wanted a DT-10 for kool factor but it wouldn't fit on my unkool pt-mini haha.

I didn't realise Korg DT10's had kool factor.

They are a lot cheaper because every other person has gone Turbo or Poly.

Kool factor is saving money and buying gear that is perfect in every way (except in this case, the most important, 'real estate').

Sorry if that last comment offended anyone or anything... just sayin' I think they're great, cheap and very effective. I'd take one over a Boss any day of the week and both are readily available in every single music shop around here (Korg are pretty big, here at least) yet I see a lot of people still buying the Boss ones. It's a matter of taste/purchasing power really; and I don't have that much.

They might not be boutique but I would take one over an overpriced thing anyday. They're great stage tuners.

I agree. I've never had a problem with mine and it's one of the few bits of kit that I doubt i'll ever feel the need to 'upgrade'.
