oh.... this just got awkward. you like boys and i like grrLs. i mean, i've seen some twinks i'd take a run at, but more for curiousity's sake.
thank GAWD for Thai Lady Bois. problem? SOLUTION.
Total tangent? I was turned on to the Death Ray in the first place by Mssr. Behndy. ILF IS LIKE ONE BIG FLAMING CIRCLE IN THE SKY, FILLED WITH MAGICAL LASERS! Or, uh, something.
Back on topic! Yes! I will try to remember to bug John for a Dirt Halo demo! And he'll, the more the merrier! Let's find as many graphic fuzz clones as possible!

Here's a link to the Basic Audio version with a couple samples on bass and guitar:

Anybody know of any clips of a real Graphic Fuzz in action? I found a few videos but they are of a non-working one. The one I've got has the bad whine and the dude that let me borrow it wants to keep it original, so I have no idea what a real 100% working one sounds like. The Basic Audio one doesn't sound too much like the one I make, at least in his clips. The cool thing about this effect is the weird filter. I can kinda hear it in the Basic Audio clips but maybe he just didn't turn the filter up enough because it definitely takes away from the "fuzz" aspect when cranked. On mine, it will totally cut out the signal when the filter is maxed and gets really chirpy when dialed back just a bit. It is very unique sounding. Which from talking with the dude I borrowed the real pedal from said is how its supposed to go. I wasn't going for an upgrade/improvement with the Blasteroid. Just wanted to make it as true to the real deal as I could because the circuit is so freaking simple and odd, like the other stuff I make.

Yes. Welcome, Atarimatt.
The more I listen to that demo, the more I like it. Good work.
Yeah, the Basic Audio isn't a faithful copy and it doesn't seem as filtery to me. I've never heard, much less played, an original ESR. So, I've got nothing to base a comparison on. I just like funky sounding fuzzes. That Blasteroid Fuzz is soundin' mighty fine & funky.
(Blasteroids is one of my favorite games. I like playing it, but perhaps not as much as Space Duel.)

Some store on eBay had 6 original ESR Graphic Fuzzes for $300 apiece. A little rich for me, I am pleased with my Dirt Halo!

Hard to believe someone has 6 of 'em.

that store with 6 of them is not legit, nor are they original.
They had them listed on ebay as "Original Earth Graphic Fuzz" but they are really just expensive clones.
When they originally listed them they posted the photos of the clones, then about 6 months later they relisted them, no photos and would not respond to any messages I sent or anyone else I know who tried to get some photos.
so stay away from them.

Thanks, edkoppel. I didn't buy into it, too good to be true.

I know how we feel about Fuzz Box Girl here, but let's put aside our differences and just be happy that Matt at IdiotBox is getting more exposure for his pedals.

hell YEAH. Matt's such a DOOD. a damn good one.
.......... i gots no problem with Fuzzy Butthole GrrL. if she wants to spam boards just for attention and freaks out when it's not people automatically clit-lapping (that's the female equivalent of dick-riding right?) her then she SHOULD pull her tits out on occasion though.
just sayin'.

if that's an example of what i'm supposed to be outraged about, all i can say is

and at least you can hear what stuff sounds like, which is more than you can say for Gearmandude.

I got a Blasteroid Fuzz of my very own now. It's in my possession. I'm not giving it up, but you can get Matt to build one for you. 'S'awesome. Love it. So chock full o' filter fuzzy.

Seems like all the pedal reviewers ILF loves to hate are making demos of a certain pedal I love to love:
