DE KP and my TGD

Fuzzhugger fx Custom double stacked Groundswell with solo boost - yeah, so I just couldn't wait to get myself a passive bass. Borrowed from the friend I sold it to to test with the Gretsch bass vi Jet-baritone and it works AWESOME. Sigh


Oh, and the Schaller Fuzz... I sold a few months ago... I kinda miss that bass heavy squarewave monstrosity. Nasty dirty fuzz face basically, but worked with bass fine. Sold to get the monies for McSpunckle And Aardvarks and Mini Gnome so at least I bought something neat with the monies.

I couldn't do shit without a TGD nowadays. Your TGD has a good home in my band mates pedalboard. It made its way to him the instant I made the deal with You. I COULD use two TGDs though and I've asked him to lend it for me for a while, I'm not sure if it got stolen with the rest of his gear or not, but it made its way back to his pedalboard.

I really regretted selling my Megalith, but that is remedied - I got another one coming.
Sometimes I also think I should have kept the Doom Bender, maybe now I could make it work for me?

Other than that the only regrets are like financial. Maybe the price would have risen over time for this or that pedal. But wtf. Those were the expensive ones to begin with and I am just too cheap to have a 300$ pedal lying around if I am not absolutely loving and using it all the time. Well, save for the Megalith. I am sure I won't use that so much, but it is just perfect at what it does. Btw - did anyone hear if Wizard ever regretted selling his after he got so pumped fot it?

Fuzz Factory and Sunface.

FuzzFaces are a love/hate thing for me. Love because I know they sound siq but hate because no one else in the band does

I had a Prunes and Custard clone that I didn't really like so I got rid of it. Then I decided I wanted another so I got a real Prunes and Custard. I didn't really like it so I got rid of it.
Now I kind of miss it.

me too, on both counts.

I miss my tone machine.

It takes me between one and twenty years to actually get rid of a pedal I don't like or don't use... I had my '90 Rat until last week or so. And used a Swollen Pickle all last summer until I finally decided I hated the controls on it, and I'd try some other newer fuzz pedals. I'll prob pick the best three and trade/sell the rest after using them all this year too. I think the only 'pedal regret' I have is not buying 1-2 extra DOD FX86 Death Metal, and a Buzz Box when they were cheap/newish, or not buying and hoarding more fuzz + dirt pedals when I was in my teens and 20's when they were still cheap.

I have more gear regrets than dirt ones. I'd prob have to say, my orange sparkle TAFM. Would love to hear it through my current rig. If I think at all that I might regret it, then I have to keep it.

Tone Reaper x 3

First one was a v1 in blue that I traded as part of a deal for an Interstellar Overdriver Supreme (which I did not like at all).

Missed it a lot, so I got a red sparkly box one. Sold it in preparation for the Hoof Reaper.

Ended up selling the Hoof Reaper... I'm just not a muff guy, so I wasn't really using the Hoof side. Octave was nice, but trickier to use well with the guitar I had at the time.

Right now the Algal Bloom is filling that vintage-y fuzz need, but I'll likely end up getting another Tone Reaper again down the road.

I also really miss my Cleanness; I only sold it when I triple checked that the Elements could cover the same ground.

That.

I liked every dirt pedal I've had
Sometimes they just didn't mesh with my amp du jour, so off they went
I can't say any of them would be better matched to my current amp setup (of almost a year now)

Some standouts in terms of character are:
Skreddy Top Fuel - soaring 80s lead wank
Ernie - good muff
Green Big Muff - creamy
Boss HM-2 - gnarly and nasty or huge wall of distortion
Cream Puff - light and fluffy
Sketch - thick and chippy
E13 Pagoda ND - I just like the graphic, sounded like crap

Lots of big sounding fuzzes that sound like mush through my small amps
Will revisit them when I become a stack toting rockstar

I've always thought a Cream Puff would be a fuzz I would like a lot. I can remember seeing them come up two or three years ago at less than $150 but now I don't see them used very often.
