Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals

[coldbrightsunlight]

So buy a zippy and let me try your zippy. Eh?

[Jwar]

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.

[Seance]

I've tried a bunch through tour boxes via TGP.

They all have an allure. But some of my favorites are:
Fuzz Mutant
Marq Won......http://soundcloud.com/caesarshift/marq-won
Kay..............http://soundcloud.com/caesarshift/asparagus
Squarewave+..http://soundcloud.com/caesarshift/basic ... squarewave
Knight

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

Just impulse bought a Foxey Lady...$99

That knight fuzz sounds like it has a cool bloom and grab kind of thing to it. Thanks for the clips!

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?

Some quotes edited for the sake of brevity.

I figured you'd have a bunch! … There really are so many, holy shit

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. 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.

Want to try a zippy for sure.

Zippy's an excellent choice!

Totally agree! Just to clarify though, those were "Canadian tourboxes". They're a little different from the American kind.

That's a pretty nice price!

Might have to start callin' you "Empros Jr."!

Heck ya

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?

[goroth]

Zippy.

Then accidentally send it to Sweden.

[Jero]

I vote: Pirk, Low Volt, Fuzz Mutant, Duplex, Bass Pep (yeah that's 5 )

...Zippy for Eu dudes vicariously?

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.

[gila_crisis]

For the Tour Box: Fuzz Mutant, Kay Fuzz, Duplex, Pirk, Marq Won.

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.
