I CAN HAS FRAZZ?

Cool pic, Aussy, haven't seen that particular one before! B-man's got it right, J has a purple sparkle RRR too. Sometimes you see it sometimes you don't, I'm not really sure what the story is.. and I never actually spoke to J.. but his manager Brian is a heckuva nice guy.

Your LED is ok, Spacey, it's supposed to do that!

We've used colour change LEDs here and there since the get-go but we don't use them very often, just in finishes that it makes sense with... and the ILF pedal since we figured it went with the spirit of rainbows and love and that kinda stuff.

Hope you dig yours, Steve, and thanks again!

Siiick. I kept being all....WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING TO MAKE THIS CHANGE. Im of the opinion that everything ever should be color change. Like that NIN cd that be changin when you touch it. I have a tshirt that does that...it kind of sucks though cause if you get really hot it changes where your nips are........

Wow.

I was finally able to plug my brand spanking new Frazz Dazzler in tonight, if only for about a half hour, and I can honestly say I am uh, dazzled!

As it's my anniversary (when you get to be my age things like this become an urgent life event), I'll have to keep it brief for now, but hope to expand later.

The broad range and interactivity of each of the controls is quite striking. This is definitely not one of those fuzzes where you lower the fuzz to cut the treble, nor is it of the variety where it only sounds good when everything is turned all the way up. Though, I will confess to turning the gain all the way up, the sizzle all the way down and feeling like I could start a killer stoner band on the spot (this is very, very good!).

One of the more intriguing things is the gain control, which adds some nice gritty warble and hiss when up full, and conjures velcro/geiger counter type sounds when dialed back. This reminded me of a bias knob found on some fuzzes, and I found myself thinking the Frazz Dazzler is a much more kick ass version of a Fuzz Factory - which I also own (Vexter model), and really want to like, but sort of don't because it's pretty much a pain in the ass.

I love the flat out savagery of the Frazz - on that score it totally delivers, and this is what spoke to me in the demo vids I watched. I think I get why it's called a Frazz, also: you really need that 'R' in there, it is really part of the sound the pedal produces, if that makes any sense. This is not just a fuzz, it is a FRAZZ.

Anyone wanna buy a very, very lightly used Vexter Fuzz Factory, never taken out of the house, the bypass switch never even stepped on (fingers used only). I don't think it'll be seeing a lot of use now that the Frazz is in town.

Awesome review, Steve, thanks very much! Really makes my day that you're liking your Frazz!

And happy anniversary! *celebratory drinks and cigars* We just passed our 4 month anniversary... ain't married life grand!

Sounds like you and your Frazz have really clicked and thank you again for trying one out!

PS - I like to play them with the gain all the way up too! *smile*
