Faye Sing/fuzz face problems

Post by sergiomunoz74 »

So I recently got this phaser and I'm having a problem when I engage the phaser effect it takes away the beefiness of the fuzz face entirely and it becomes a bit more nasal like a fuzz factory or something. I'm not sure if te common problem with phasers in general with a fuzz face or something with the circuit of the faye sing itself. I ran it before and after it didn't change the way it reacted to it. I want to find a phaser that might not present this problem since it seems tohaprn even if I put the mix real real dry

It doesn't affect the sound of my germanium rat so I was wondering what it may be. The fuzz face I'm using is a black acid fuzz

This is probably an insultingly basic question but have you tried playing around with the mix? I found the same thing with some fuzzes when I had that pedal and changing the mix setting sometimes helped.

Yeah, the mix control was nice on the Faye Sing. Running it pre-fuzz at low mix helped but it def thins out the sound a bit and pre-fuzz results are more subtle. A Small Stone stays pretty fat sounding in my experience. Maybe Whetstone if you're after a more feature laden phaser.

Yeah I do run my mix really low, he'll even when it's comletely dry it seems to take away fatness from the fuzz. I think I may just sell this and get an old small stone with some mods. I don't need too mic stuff going on honestly I just want swoosh that is slowish to seasick. I might just go back to the sibling phaser if I can find one again
