Ether and fire sound hella rad.

Ha, morons. I checked the price of the AD10. $160 in Japan, $250 in US$.

Nope. Do not want.

Edit: Void, Earth, Ether. Mhm.

exactly my selection as well

i mean... cocked wah octave fuzz? yes

i wonder what that Earth can be based on... anyone?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Ether sounds like it could be very cool.

Big Muff. I'd skip it and go for Water. Same thing but with better eq. Pretty cool that one fo the Muffs is called "Earth" though

...oh, and I know a certain someone on ILF with a cocked wah octave fuzz coming out

[DarkAxel]

Big Muff that cleans up well with turning down a guitar volume? That exists?

it was my first guess, but then i noticed the cleaning up bit

Bold move

About time too. They HAVE made a lot of classic fuzz pedals for other people. My Elk says Maxon on the PC and that is basically a Ibanez standard + wah, thing is incredible

[woolyh]

Look great but awaiting prices :]

I think most of the Ibanez circuits are saying Maxon on the PCB's. The Ibanez OD-850, my personal holy grail of Big Muffery after playing the Creepy Fingers take on it, is also a Maxon PCB. It would be nice if Earth/Water would be based on their own take on the Muff.

Good point! Hopefully the prices are not nuts

Big Muff and Superfuzz, no way!

Water - "The FWA10 expands on the classic fuzz/distortion sounds of the FEA10 by adding a parametric tone section to the circuit. By selecting a specific frequency and boosting or cutting it accordingly, a wide array of new and unique guitar tones can be created including scooped midrange, hi-boost, low-boost, etc."

Fire - "Designed to emulate one of Japan's most sought-after vintage pedals, the FF10 offers two distinct fuzz effects in one pedal. The NOTCH footswitch selects between a bright, aggressive fuzz sound and more focused fuzz with scooped midrange."

Void - "Perhaps the most unique of the Fuzz Elements models, the FV10 circuit generates lots of even-order harmonic overtones to provide a unique Octave/Fuzz sound that can then be mixed with the original guitar signal. The FV10's overtone effects are dynamic and frequency dependant, changing constantly as it tracks different picking styles and/or alternate positions on the fretboard."

Earth - "FEA10 recreates the legendary sounds of early 70's Transistor Distortion pedals. Aggressive while still retaining excellent note definition, the FEA10 excels at Alternative and Stoner Rock sounds. With SUSTAIN at maximum, The FEA10 provides intense distortion with long sustain that cleans up when the guitar's volume is turned down."

Wind - "Modeled after the legendary sounds of late 60's British fuzz tones, the FW10's classic circuit design provides a smooth, mid-gain fuzz effect that is rich in harmonic overtones. In VINTAGE mode the FW10 offers classic 60's fuzz, while HOT mode provides increased gain and additional low-end response. BUFFER ON/OFF switch engages output buffer when set to ON. Buffer setting converts signal to low impedance, providing a smoother, more authentic reproduction of original guitar tone."

Air - "FA10 recreates the classic Octave/Fuzz effects of vintage Japanese pedals, offering a powerful sound by adding upper and lower harmonic overtones. Switchable FAT and SCOOP tone settings provide edgy and bright or smooth, scooped-mid fuzz effects."

Ether - "FE10 expands on Octave/Fuzz sounds of the FA10 by adding a parametric tone section to the circuit. By selecting a specific frequency and boosting or cutting it accordingly, a wide array of new and unique guitar tones can be created."

so it's

Earth - Big Muff
Water - Big Muff with para EQ
Fire - Roland Bee Baa
Void - Ampeg Scrambler
Ether - Ampeg Scrambler with para EQ
Wind -Tone Bender
Air - Super Fuzz
