About 13 years ago I was skateboarding & listening to FU Manchu , so here`s some their riffs ;d The full review with pics of this tone bender is on the 1st page.

Knight Fuzz KG-389 from 1969

Knight Fuzz KG-389 , previous owner said it is from 1969. Sounds like dirty lo fi drive. Not in original condition, but who gives a funk. Still pretty lil toy to play.

Knight Fuzz clip was unavailable for a while, sorry for that. I recorded it again and uploaded. Now that link works


Maestro MFZ-1 from 1970s. Review with pics and vid is on the 2nd page

You wanna vintage looking'n'sounding pedal for dirty cheap? Here it is. Sounds bright and even a bit glassy ( while you hitting single strings ). Cleans up very well, you can hear it in demo. Cool toy

Gretsch Controfuzz from the late 1960s

Boost knob controls mix between dry signal and fuzz. Sad, but you can`t get 100% fuzz, that`s why I`m using it into dirty amp. One of the previous owners changed original witch hat knobs to these modern gretsch guitar knobs.

Carlsbro Suzz from the 1980s

The first OP-amp fuzz which I really like. Others are gretsch controfuzz and maestro mfz-1, both of them got that crappy feature with clean signal blend. This fuzz perfectly eats boosters/drives/distortions , without altering its own distortion texture, just becomes more saturated. Also no matter clean or dirty amp you`re using. Cool toy, srsly!

That sounds great, i've been on the fence about picking one up and I think I will now. Thanks

You`re welcome dude
btw I got two questions to all who is surfing this thread :
1. Should I make a bit of navigation in the first post? I can add straight links like "Sam ash fuzz box =>> link page and post<<=="
2. Should I hide videos under NSFW, so the pages could load faster, or it`s okay?
Don`t be shy, tell me what do you think , thats important

Kingston Fuzz-Expander late 1960s

Hoho look at that ultra tiny circuit board It also has volume pot switch, that turns off you battery. Why dunlop can`t do these things. Sounds like an ass

first of all

thank you for creating one of my most favorite threads on ilf ever

second,
that broken apollo super fuzz is terrific

albertjq, thank you mate, that means a lot for me

Not fuzz at all, but cool rusty stuff - MXR Analog Delay M118 from 1970s

click here for more pics: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzT8MaEmPGU[/youtube]

Looks and feels like big muff among delay pedals, cuz it`s heavy as hell, big and green. Got huge amount of repeats, but very short delay. Sounds mysterious

I have not seen this before

sounds very good

must be the forefather to the carbon copy

(which I love)

But they got completely different circuits , interaction and characteristics. Carbon is much more usable, but m-118 is just old and cool you know P.S. Carbon copy is my number 1 and most favorite delay ever, I will never sell it :P

The Kingston and Knight Fuzz both sound sick (as do most of em), but totally never heard of those two! Really great thread!

popvulture, thank you, dude

I`m very sorry guys, but today I gotta spoil this thread with this little brand new ( even not used and not even a fuzz ) piece of shite

This little bud made a huge step away from the micro POG , it has :
true bypass switch ( you don`t need to power it for passing signal, while it`s off , unlike micro pog )
eats batteries
consumes just 25mA , while micro pog needs 180mA
internal chip is not overheating while operation
soft switch
paint instead of paper sticker
it`s little and handsome
