Vintage Fuzz Master volume question

nieh · Post by **nieh** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:44 pm

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?

Where is it in your chain?

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. :idk:

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

something is up with that pedal then... I don't know if it is wrong as just not right... Someone in DIY should know how to fix this.

ive own'd two VFM's and always had to crank the volume all the way up. so i guess its normal :erm:

Hmm, I don't know if I'm going to end up keeping this pedal than.

you can always throw a boost in front of it. i did that once and distended my own anus.

Not normal imo Ive have 2 vfm and unity gain was higher than most of devies fuzzies but usually 1 or 2 oclock for me.

Can somebody post a picture of their VFM's guts? My dc jack looks like its wired weird.

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

What happened, nieh?

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.
