Hello all,
I’ve been away for a while but thought I’d reintroduced myself. I’m trying to stay off traditional social media and remembered this place being welcoming even if people didn’t see eye to eye. I haven’t been playing music much due to things in my personal life but I’m trying to get back at it.
I wonder who is still here from the old days. I’ve seen a few names I recognize.

I am not as old as the days. But I agree that the current outlets for connection are more fraught with purloined peril.
Fuzz is a good metaphor. And worth returning to as the need arises.
Fuzz is about finding the transcendent in the seemingly broken howl of an angry circuit squawking away, at times transforming notes, choking some off, sustaining others, fritzing and FUBAR AWOLing and stuttering and sputtering and splurging on texture at the expense of clarity to find a new kernel worth conveying. Rag pickers, sifting through the schmatte, finding gems in the act of refurbishing roughage.
Ornamentation or enunciation. You decide. Con Text Jelez dependent.

Hello,
I'm Lane and I'm addicted to fuzz pedals. I love building them, buying them, selling them, and playing them terribly. I typically lurk and just read everything but realized I should try and be more sociable -- even if it is with strangers with a shared love of fuzz on the internet.

Hello.
So what fuzz are you building?

Right now, I'm finishing up a Sasquatch II from Effects Layout, it's a NPN Germanium Big Muff with a bendable Octave Up and active EQ.
Before that, a clone of FC Unpleasant Surprise, a few Fuzz Face variants. Earlier than that my take on SeppukuF's Octave Drone and Space Fuzz... I've got boxes of fuzz pedals I've built from Maestro FZ-1s, Superfuzzes, Big Muffs, etc.
In addition to that, I'm breadboarding an idea that combines a Gemini III with a Sputnik drift mode with fuzz faces.
