FZ-1S, you say? You have my attention, sir! Clip sounds really nice, too.
I've always suspected Curtis Mayfield used an FZ-1S (or maybe an FZ-1B) for his gnarlier fuzz tones. Always wanted to get my hands on an OG.

Ooo like in intro to Little Child Runnin' Wild?

I just recorded this clip for the people who were freaked-out by the rawness my first clip *cough* TGP *cough*:

>pffft< THOSE people.

Around here, I'm surprised that nobody's asked for a second footswitch to trigger oscillation, or an expression in to trigger a hidden delay circuit (pre-fuzz, of course).

That said: a) I digs it! and b) bass samples plz! Pretty plz!

Wait, i didn't know i wanted these things until just now. Plz Digitech

I've been looking for a new "horn fuzz", and this may be a prime candidate.

BUILD A SPACE STATION INTO IT.

Third the bass samples. Sounds raw and good.

Yep.
Second demo sounds great and shows how it might hit that Curtis sound. Check the "Little Child" demo at around 1.30:

I've put up a few more audio clips on our Soundcloud page over the past week-ish or so. Check 'em out!

What's the rest of the signal chain?

Really liked the 7th and 8th settings. (and the 11th, 12th, and 13th, but I hadn't gotten that far at the time)

Also I like the [nearly] Sabbath Bloody Sabbath riff clip, too.

For most of the clips it is a Hagstrom Swede M > Carcosa > JCM800 > 4x12 w/V30's. For the clip I posted today it is the same chain just into a Vox AC30.

Wow, this sounds really good. Really dig the choice of circuit! Digitech should put out a bunch of unusual fuzzes under the DOD brand


(Like a buzzaround, a super fuzz and a fender blender <3 )

Interested if one hits at the right price, I don't have a FZ-1 in the stash (never been a huge fan, but at that price having one for the rare times it'd fit in the drawer of fuzz ill repute wouldn't be bad).
