Never tried the Crazy Horse, but it interests me a lot!

Re: Low gain textural fuzz
Even though it's just a Fuzz with Drive and Volt it is quite a versatile dirt pedal that can do nice sounds and also not so nice sounds. I say give one a try. You might be surprised.sonidero wrote:Get a Suneater with low gain and use whatever Drive before or after it...
Been thinking about finding a CH to try out for you since they make them in Austin but it's really just a Fuzz with Drive and Volt...

FuzzHugger(fx) Suneater and Basic Audio Mutant seems both very interesting too.

Seems cool. Soft clipped opamp gain stage, followed by 2 Fuzz Face esque stages with mild tweaks, and a Muffish tone control.KaosCill8r wrote:Even though it's just a Fuzz with Drive and Volt it is quite a versatile dirt pedal that can do nice sounds and also not so nice sounds.

Re: Low gain textural fuzz
The Mutant is based on an Os Mutantes which is a bit more rippy and velcroy... I have an Os and it's not really in the same category to me... The shop up the street has Durham stuff so I'll try to go by this week, the maker and his clientele are very TGP so I've always avoided them even though I kinda want a Zia Drive cause it's purple...

Shut up, sonidero, I said it's textural.

Re: Low gain textural fuzz
I built mine. I know it's a sin around these parts but I couldn't have afforded it otherwise. I didn't buy it for T.G.P connection. It was the Neil Young connection that made me want one. T.G.P and their clientele can suck my balls.sonidero wrote:The Mutant is based on an Os Mutantes which is a bit more rippy and velcroy...

Since when is that a sin around here? I always thought we were the seedy yet loveable underbelly of the gear world.KaosCill8r wrote: I built mine. I know it's a sin around these parts but I couldn't have afforded it otherwise.

It's got Texture for sure but not really what Syls been asking about for the past 4 years...Chankgeez wrote:Shut up, sonidero, I said it's textural.![]()

Re: Low gain textural fuzz
The building of in production pedals is apparently frowned upon but I only do it for me and the occasional gift. Never for financial gain. Not sure if that is a good justification so maybe I will get tarred and feathered and run out of I.L.F on a rail.neonblack wrote:Since when is that a sin around here?

Definitely an expansion/improvement on that circuit. It still may me a little more rippy than Syl wants, but I think he'll dig it.

Yeah! I stoped searching for the imposible octave down pedal and now I focus on fucktup fuzz.

Re: Low gain textural fuzz
that vid sounds more overdrivey than fuzz, i'd try with the mini, low bias

Re: Low gain textural fuzz
OK, so, I was just playing the Basic Audio Fuzz Mutant (and, as usual, sonidero's right). Even with the fuzz rolled all the way off it's still too fuzzy for what Syl's looking/listening for. (Sorry I doubted you, sonidero.
)
