Maybe you can talk Stanimal into building you one. I sold both mine when I got my WHF. Yes very thick but in the end I didn't like the way it glitched on guitar or low notes on my five's B string, maybe you would.

On the other hand I still can get supper thick fuzz using a my old sovtek muff into a big tupe amp like my sunn [ :cry: ] or my orange [ :yay: ] 'corse I don't own a guitar cab so I'm running them through 15s :thumb:

I'm running my whole set-up through my Fender Silverface Twin (no master volume :cry: ) and generally i'm using my DiPinto Galaxie.

So my sound is really, really bright.

The Melx 2 works AWESOME with my rig be cause it's so damn low-end heavy, it sort of gets balanced and sounds ridiculously huge. The Ab-Synth was pretty heavy with my DiPinto Bacchus, but it still wasn't a wall of fuck you.

hmmm.

i need to play my megalith more. I left my entire pedalboard at my parents house for the week WTF :mad:

Dude I'd get a EA Beast. That thing looks and sounds sick. I'd be willing to bet, it'd be pretty huge.

I've heard that the Supercollider isn't SUPER gainy, but just super dense and heavy. I'd be a rat into that will take you into that really gainy DOOMY territory.

Also, you could have Scruffie build you one of these guys (this is in standard tuning, with a tele! :drool: )

ONE KNOB BIG MUFF!

Sounds REALLY heavy, but with great mid content, and it's only got one knob. :trippy:

W O W . That is some crazy shit right there. SUPER heavy for a Tele. You notice how he was deliberately playing below the bridge PU? Bananas. One-knobbed the twang right outta that lil' country cousin.

Both of those will tear your scalp off. At least that's what I want to use them for.

ID with everything cranked is pretty wild, but the heaviest fuzz I've played was probably the FreqLSD.

However, I want to see what happens when I go ID>Flash Fuzz>Dreamcrusher>Melx2. I probably would blow up my amp.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

Current ILF Love: OHNOHO CHK CHK BOOM, Mellowtone Melx Fuzz 2, EQD Dream Crusher, Devi Ever ID, Dr. Scientist Proto-Miniberator - new vids eventually

some mysteries are best unsolved
