I like wall of sound, saturated, and thick fuzz, and after a few years of searching I've finally found it in this pedal

My main tone:

In: maxed
fz: maxed
sh: goes between ~9-11 o'clock-ish, ~3 o'clock, and maxed
fv: noon
cv: off, sometimes goes to 2 o'clock if I want
boost: on
mids: depends on how dirty I'm feeling

Like a big, saturated Big Muff, but with more balls. Mids switch really makes my guitar sound stand out in a way that I like very much.

What I've been using since I got this newest one:

In: 2:00
fz: either max or 1:30
sh: either 10:00 or 1:00
fv: 11:00
cv: 9:30
boost: off
mids: up!

I have the vertical one so I set up like this...

Fuck on what ever into -

TAFM :

FV, CV = 12
SH, FZ, IN = 9
Switches = Down

I'm not sure what this equals on the other version...

Maybe Bri can make a conversion chart, or a TAFM Slide Rule...

You guys are all crazy with your volume settings. For me, unity gain is always somewhere around 9-10 o'clock on fuzz volume and/or clean volume. Anywhere near/past noon is just insanity.

depends on which version you have... on the earlier versions i really should have been using different value pots on the volume controls - it's been ironed out a while ago.

really this thread is ridiculous because since i've been making the TAFM there have been 6 or 7 circuit board revisions with small tweaks here and there. pot values may differ, etc.

Hence the need for the ss/BS Slide Rule Conversion Calculator... :cool:

I have my TAFM (mid-older version) after my Rat Tail set at low gain.
Playing a Model P loaded Precision into a Sunn Sorado through a 2x15:

FV - noon
CV - 10pm
SH- between 11pm and 1pm depending on how I feel
FZ - All the way up
IN - 3pm (CCW for more)
SW1 - Right
SW2 - Right

FV- 11ish
CV- 9ish
FZ - 1
IN - 11
Mids - up
Boost - down

Current version with the gate. Running it like this gives me a "fuzzstortion" kinda sound, hitting the input with the mini makes it fuller n saturated, hitting the gate (with or without the mini) = death boost :evil:

I fucking love the TAFM so hard Brian
When I am rich and famous I am going to need to buy 5 or so to cop all the tones I want at any time
At the moment really liking some of the lower gain sounds on guitar and then hitting the gate to max out the fuzz :omg:
I love the first setting, for heavy keyboards on bass as well, so thick and full of low end

I never knew how awesome the TAFM does low-mid gain fuzz! I usually have the fuzz full blast and set as a huge wall sound but recently I have it set as more of a dirty, low gain fuzz and it sounds SO good! In line before my ABY then into each amp with a Sparkle Motion to one and a Fuck to the other. Re-assured me it's still my favorite fucking fuzz.

Volume switch: dirty
Mids switch: boosted
Clean volume: noon
Fuzz volume: 9pm
Shape: 3pm
Fuzz: 10:45
Input: 11:45 (CCW. Are they all CCW?)

:love:

This is VERY close to what I had my TAFM set to and used for the same purpose, a low gain OD more so than a fuzz.

Anyway, I just got a Mini yesterday and was tweaking away at it until I got a sound that I liked (which wasn't hard to do), and then I A/B'd between the TAFM with this setting and the Mini...very very VERY close to the point of being tough to tell the difference between the two pedals.
