Tell me more about the wooden Articulated Lorry Fuzz

It's clearly an airport baggage truck, such as you might find in a toy wooden airport. Pay attention, Livesley.

Oh, and thanks for the nametag thingummy.

No worries, it's rare I get to actually do Admin things.

Airport Baggage Truck? Did you get a crowd of Naughty Baggage Robots or was it not a Terminal Five Kit?

Look carefully and you'll see the pilot has fallen drunkenly from the back of it.

So it is Terminal Five.

What does OLC stand for? Is that the name of the company that ninja mike guy works for?

It's a ridiculous thing for me to say but if you ever felt like selling that I'd certainly be interested. I'm not ashamed to admit that most of that interest is based on the picture of the woman with the beak biting a baby's head, but I also think they sond kool.

It stands for Officially Licensed Circuits, and yes, it's where ninjamike works - where the fuck is he, incidentally? I liked him...

I could never sell it, a lady at work (ace PA engineer etc) put it together for me, while another friend helped me screenprint my design onto the casing (knobs are labelled shoot/speed/kill/light) - the Graphic is this:



... it's from a series of hacked cartoons mixing Cthulhu mythos with American Apple Pie. It appealed to my paternal side. As ever, you'd be more than welcome to borrow it; I'm never selling it, but the kits are pretty reasonably priced.

clearly you can never have too many fuzzes.

that's all the jusification i need.

Its the first rule of Fuzz Club.

fucking board of the year

I love the hell out of the plain metal pedals with the chrome knobs, shit looks FUTURE.

Agreed.

i think that's one of my favourtie boards, might put it back like that. i'm getting a new delay pedal soon. i've heard rave reviews on the artec analog delay, so got a deal on one of those.


i think the duo-fuzz and tonebender are two of the nicest pedals i've ever used. the duo-fuzz is a little fussy sometimes, but it's perfect for those 70's prog rock tones i hold so dear.

my gear!

so let me give you a quick run down before the picture, first the amp is a fender cyber twin 2X12 combo. I use the delays on it for now as i dont have a working delay pedal. I really like its tones of its effects and there is a distortion i made on there that is just amazing. My pedal board is hand made, its 4x2ft so its huge. I dont have much on it right now but im working on that. what we have on it now though is

1.giant electric sign.
2. power supply,
3. footswitch for cyber twin.
4. little tuner that is actually not that bad
5. bullet casing used as a slide, (works great for me, the only thing i use slides for though is ambient stuff)
6. EHX modded russian big muff (creamy dreamer, true bypass, and a 9Vdc jack on the front.)
7. EHX little big muff
8. Ernie Ball volume pedal. amazing for swells.

Not much on it now, but i will keep posting as the board progesses, in the mean time if you have any pedals you would like to give me for free that would be nice of you.

PICTURES!







Love that cyber twin, best amp I have ever heard, greatest clean tones. to my ears anyways.

that pedal board had such false promise.

you've got the huge sign, WHERE ARE THE PEDALS? it looks alot like mine actually, blue carpet'd. i've got an old picture around here somewhere...



eep, look at them patch cables. changed a bit since then. the lpb-1 is sitting in the corner gently weeping to itself and it's now crybaby > cool cat transparent OD > T-REX Mudhoney > TGD > Marshall RF-1. i've got a harmonic percolator clone that mike built too that should be on there too but i ran out of patch cables .

Top row, left to right: Gig FX Chopper (cheers Mickie), homemade BazzFuss in a sweety tin, Ibanez PM7, Danelectro Transparent Overdrive, Danelectro Coolcat Fuzz, Danelectro Fabtone distortion, Danelectro French motherfucking Toast, Zoom UltraFuzz.

Middle row, left to right: homemade (by me, this time) feedback looper thing, Ibanez DE7, Sound City Overdrive (my oldest pedal, from a bootsale), StressFX BMP Ram's Head Muff clone, Boss Hi-Band Flanger (got it in a trade, off to eBay soon), Made by Mike Fuzzface, homemade (me again) Rangemaster clone.

Bottom row, left to right: Danelectro Reel Echo, modded by Mike Rat, Behringer Vintage Delay (Hurb's fault), Behringer SuperFuzz (also Hurb's fault), Behringer Vibrato (my own fault), OLC Chunky Cheese.

Fuck, twenty one pedals, plus a superfuzz kit on the way. I have a problem, don't I.

Oh man, you got that awesome decal on the Cheeze! I thought that was from some HC nerds' or something.
