Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
I would be down to buy something but I'm really limited on funds right now. If I could find something for like 100 or so, I could probably swing that.

Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
I've tried a bunch through tour boxes via TGP.
They all have an allure. But some of my favorites are:
Fuzz Mutant

He has so many, it's hard to keep track. I should have started this quest years ago.

That knight fuzz sounds like it has a cool bloom and grab kind of thing to it. Thanks for the clips!Seance wrote:I've tried a bunch through tour boxes via TGP.

Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
I've tried about a dozen BA's and the keepers for me are the Fuzz Mutant and Spooky Tooth. I wouldn't mind a Marq Won, Supa MKI, and a Bye Bias too but I'm trying to control myself at least a little.
None of them were duds - what flavor(s) of fuzz are you looking for?

Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
Some quotes edited for the sake of brevity.
Also, it's a nice way to try out a whole mess of mostly FUZZ pedals.
There're really SO SO many. It's difficult to keep up, John's pretty prolific.
Totally agree! Just to clarify though, those were "Canadian tourboxes". They're a little different from the American kind.

Yeah, I have a bunch, but in addition I've tried a bunch more from when I was running tourboxes for John over on TGP. I'd have him send the tourbox to me first. I like to be familiar with the pedals should any questions arise during the course of the tourbox. That way I could potentiallly answer easy questions without having to bother John. Nothin' worse than a clueless tourbox organizer.Jero wrote:I figured you'd have a bunch! … There really are so many, holy shit
Zippy's an excellent choice!goroth wrote:Want to try a zippy for sure.

Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
You people may wanna consider narrowing down your choices of pedals to try.
I talked to John and he gave me permission to start organizing a tourbox here.
Unfortunately, it'd only be for the U.S. for now.
(Entirely possible to include Europe and Canada later.
)
COVID-19 precautions (whatever they may entail) will be followed to the best of our collective abilities.
So, which four pedals are people really wantin' to play with?

Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
I've built two Zippy clones, one I'm currently using but not the first. Now I haven't tried a real one so I can't compare, and didn't make them with the intent of selling.. but I do think it's a damn fine fuzz (comparable to the demos) and would be happy to let you try it, or trade/buy for a low price should you be interested. If not you could just ship it back.goroth wrote:Zippy.

Re: Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals
I've got a lot of Basic Audio fuzz. The modernizing and refining John Lyons does to these old circuits is always really interesting and useful.
