Vintage Fuzz Master volume question
I just got my VFM in the mail and I love it, but even with the volume maxed its just below unity gain. Are all VFMs like this, or is something wrong with mine?

Try it just straight into your amp, because my unity gain is around 9 oclock.

All I can add to this as I don't have a VFM is that I had two cherry pops at the same time for a while and they did not have the same output, one was loud and one was extremely loud.

Even going straight into the amp I get the same result.

Re: Vintage Fuzz Master volume question

Can't turn my E13 VFM up past like 8 o'clock without destroying everything after it.

Re: Vintage Fuzz Master volume question
Maybe post guts of your vfm? Might be something easy.
I've had a few vfm's and unity was pretty early in the sweep.
