I just want dibs on the flip
For real though out of all the pedals they just released this is the one I can't stop thinking about.

Yeah, I think the Bellows sounds very nice. I'd love to try it. Same with the Spires

I'll look into it. Small, orange, two controls, eqd...What's not to love
Might have to much overlap with my Mastotron though. That's another thing that makes it hard for me to decide. Between just my Mastotron and fz-2 I already have a lot of great fuzz tones covered

Mastotron is pretty synthy isn't it? Bellows seems a lot growlier and not really as compressed and focused as the mastotron. It does get saturated but I don't know if they would overlap.

Nah, it's not that synthy to my ears. It can be dialed in for choked gated stuff, but the way I use it sounds more like the 'normal' settings on a fuzz factory, only a lot heavier and on the low end...
Probably not identical to the bellows, I'll check some more clips to be sure.

That's cool. I really have no reason to be repping this fuzz so hard, I've never actually messed with it before.
You could also try some Frederic effects stuff. They're based in the UK and they make some really cool pedals.

Btw...What the fuck were they on while recording this clip?? It's like they made a serious effort trying NOT to sell this pedal at all

In the PGS demo Andy did his usual bang up job, but -and this is probably just me- his 'I lost my pick' style of playing makes all his fuzz demos sound the same to me
And it doesn't sound quite gainy enough for my taste. Wished he dimed the gain control with the tele. But even in the bits with the humbucker'd guitar, if that somewhat civilised growl is the craziest the bellows can get, it's probably not for me

I think Mike Hermans did a pretty damn good demo of the Clusterfuzz. But I'm biased.

Ha, ha. You are biased.
And I'm biased against Mike Hermans. I don't like his style. He's a great player. A lot of people love his demos. I like that he doesn't talk in them. I can't deny he was getting some great sounds out of that Clusterfuzz though. Really shows some of the range of the pedal.

Is that the one with the Seer riff? asking for a friend.

Damn, must've overlooked that one, weird. Great demo, cheers. GAS growing
