Looking to try some Basic Audio pedals

[Christophe]

I like all fuzz sir.

Looking at the supa mk 1 and fuzz mutant...
To put it diffently: I ‘m wondering about the “boom” sensation when you engage the pedal. The instant chaos factor is not really emphasized in the demos l’ve seen...

This thread got me interested in BA again... I've watched many vids and listened to many sound clips, displaying most pedals. Most demos are centered on the Neil Young/ Dave torn kind of fuzz. I mean melodic, wide sound, blurry chords into reverb etc... Beautiful sounds... Is it the genuine vibe of Basic Audio, or is it just the players using it a certain way? Can you achieve tighter sounds, single-note based riffs, more modern playing? To put it the other way: a fuzz war or something from Infanem can do massive/modern/ripping sounds, but maybe wouldn't be a top choice for Neil Young stuff...
See what I mean?
So, from your experience, which Basic Audio pedals stand out as totally modern fuzzes?

Can't say either, haven't yet come around to trying a BA peda myself. My guess is that a lot of what we're hearing is indeed the guitarist's style, and his prefered settings.

Instead of buying two BA pedals, I opted for one swiss army knife. Clusterfuzz: a highly tweakable tonebender that goes from growling stoner fuzz to zippery velcro stuff or borderline octave fuzz. Contrary to pedals like the fuzz factory and all fuzz factory inspired pedals I used, all of the settings on the Clusterfuzz are actually useable. No overly gated bullshit or noisy motorboating crap you won't use more than once or twice for shits 'n giggles.

Are you telling me that ILF has turned into a joint for 60s-classic-fuzz lovers ?

A person doesn't necessarily have to play classic rock w/ a 60s-classic-fuzz. They can play anything they want.

yes I thought this is why we were here.

Enjoy your tourbox US folks!

That's true! I tried to pick ones I could find demos for and sounded interesting to me.

That was my half-assed joke. My bad.
Totally agree here.
It’s just that ILF is in my mind associated with ssbs, lastgasp, fuzzhugger, etc... and the BA demos struck me as being in a different ballpark. But maybe there’s some overlap here. Or not. Like you said, depends on how you use it.

I just got a Bye-Bias used from here. Played with it yesterday for a while. I am super happy with it. Feel it’s pretty flexible and has a lot of sweet spots based on your amp settings, pickups and volume and tone knobs.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, Bye-Bias'd probably be well liked around here.

Someone should grabby grabby this or at least make an offer :

I've had the Kay fuzz for a couple years and it's not going anywhere. It's a fun and raucous yet deadly serious pedal if that makes any sense.

Received a Pirk from John today and there are a number of sounds available in this thing! The three-position switch and the bias knob are key. I spent two hours with it today.

[Jwar]

So, like, we doing a tourbox fo sho? Was there enough interest?

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, it's definitely on. I talked to John. He gave it the green light.

I was just being lazy about gettin' it goin'/buildin' interest. We'll have the ten people for certain.

[ummohyeah]

Just wanna add that I've had a dozen Rat variants and ProCo pedals and the Shore Bird is one of my favorite. Favorite graphics on a pedal, too, if that counts for anything. I'd have one again any day if I wasn't a broke ass.

[Jero]

Finally got the Foxey Lady in...and it rips! Sounds excellent in the 30 minutes or so I've had with it.
