Post by Zounds Perspex »

thinking about fuzzes like the Sunface or Creepy Fingers Fuzznugget where one pot doubles as an on/off battery kill switch...any others spring to mind?
Maybe partying will help.

oh! Creepyface, too. I think I may pull the trigger on that one...it's about the only Creepy Fingers pedal I haven't tried.

On the Creepyface, it's not an on/off switch, it's a switch to remove the bias knob from the circuit.

Edit:
The Creepyface is on my GAS list... even if I'i not a battery guy.

Wait, why do you need one with a battery kill switch? So you can leave the cable plugged into the input?
