What is Velcro fuzz, and is it possible on single coils?

Anyway, what makes that sound, since you asked, is when you havea fuzz that has the ability to start self-oscillating but you also can control the bias settings on one of the transistors so that it's typically, just on the edge of oscillating. When you play a note, that takes over, as the note dies out the oscillation starts to take over, resulting in that zipping sound, and when the input signal gets low enough it will start to pinch off, resulting in the sputtery ending.

One of my favorite effects and almost borders on not really being a fuzz anymore. Something else.

Thanks for the explanation. I wonder then if there's something about single coils that makes them decay much more quickly than humbuckers. Still, it's kind of tough to dial in that sound correctly when you're relying on a string's last vibrations to get that effect. There's gotta be something out there that does this all the time, right?

FuzzHugger... never heard of these guys before this thread, but I'm interested.

Be warned, the guy that runs Fuzzhugger is a real dick.

Yea, I hear he's the same guy that runs this forum

Don't be silly, T. Daltz is merely a myth perpetrated by the liberal elite.

HIS NAME IS MAGNO... According to the Govt. he died in Pearl Harbor and whoever says different is a denier...

I heard he was granted asylum in Ecuador.

I never have issues getting a velcro sound with singles myself.

In the 60s they used to just put a transducer on a pair of Keds so maybe do that
