so i guess if i slap a rebel flag sticker on my faye sing when it comes in it will really hurt the resale value around here huh?

sorry couldnt resist. for real though, somebody tell me again how awesome the faye sing is

Pretty motherfuckin awesome.

Superfuzz+Faye Sing+Delay nearly brought tears to my eyes earlier, I'm truely
convinced no other phaser sounds better paired with fuzz, let alone on it's own.

With that being said y would u deface the most aestetically pleasing pedal ever with a sticker?

[rattler420]

i wouldnt, it was a joke. in reference to a thread i started.

it is a nice looking pedal for sure.

Man this thing is killer, one of the most versatile, best sounding phasers I've tried. Incredibly full and goes from slow as molasses to traditional phasing to the a seasick vibrato. The controls are superb, well thought out and sensitive so the ranges are huge, particularly love the extreme depth settings and the weird low undertones it lets through.

Expression control is great, should be required on every phaser/modulation pedal from here out, and everything else too, why not? Stage selector imparts a completely different character based on setting too, so that's some more variety for ya...

So yeah, it sounds flippin' great but I haven't mentioned the Balance control, the mix dawgs! Finely tuned, works like a charm! It's this control that allows you to place the Faye Sing permanently post dirt/fuzz despite your general preference. A high mix to get the very apparent, intense phasing associated with running phase post-dirt. If that's not your style and you prefer the more subtle phasing, the kind usually only achieved with pre-dirt phasing, turn the balance lower to taste and your there. I like both scenarios, depending, and now I don't have to think about placement, just throw that shit near the end.

Oh, and it's one of the sexier pedals every created, a phaser, who would've predicted that?

You killed this one Kenfanem, anyone and everyone who likes phasers, even remotely, needs this thing. I generally hate phasers and look at me gushing!

So, when are the Faye's Hers expected? Because then hopefully people will sell off their Faye Sings! Yay budget.

From the man himself:

The Faye's Her is on the shelf until I can free up resources to introduce it properly. It'll be at least a month, more likely two or three, before they're in anyone's hands.

Nice write up of the faye sing, it's sooo nice. I was playing yesterday and turned it to minimum speed and was like THIS IS NOT SLOW ENOUGH. For a second I was really gutted, then I realised I was on the fast speed setting... The slowest rate is amazing.

How does manual mode + exp pedal compare to the BEZ Street Sweeper? Anyone have experience with both?

I'll let you know how it compares to the BEZ as soon as I know.

Dude! How come I haven't heard anyone else really talk about this? You may have finally convinced me that I need consider ditching the Whetstone for one of these. I prefer running my phaser pre-dirt, but will on occasion wish that it was post-dirt, but never switch it because it's a PITA having to rewire and move velcro'ed pedals on a board. Mix knob? Profit!

RIght, way easier to just leave it in place and turn a knob. Plus, the Balance will dial in various levels of crazy or mild, not just whatever you get when you kick on the fuzz + phaser, tailor that shit! I sold my Whetstone to pick this up and I have zero regrets. Plus the CFS takes up way less board space

Oh, as for the BEZ comparison, the two cover a lot of similar ground when it comes to manual control via expression and that's about it. The Faye Sing is way more useful to me as a standalone considering how much phasing variety is packed in there and the sheer tweakability. The BEZ is killer too, but a touch limited if you need much more than the cool ass expression control over the sweep (a single depth control and treadle reverse is all you'll find) but what it does, it does VERY WELL. Plus it looks killer and is built like a fucking tank!
