we're practicing tonight after all, so I'll fuck around with them some more then also going to try and record some more clips with swelling drones tomorrow to dig into all of those subtleties. here are some guitar clips for now:

set up is VMJM (rhythm circuit full volume) > Holy Mountain (sometimes as noted) > FUZZWELL PEDALS > Carvin x100b > Marshall Lead 1960 (75s) > e609 > Tascam US-1200 > Audacity. no editing besides deletes


this thing is harsh in person but sounds pretty ace recording
clean / fy1 with filter switch up / + holy mountain // fy1 with filter switch down / holy mountain on / filter switch back up


orpheum solo working the octave in a lil more with each other repetition, holy mountain engaged for half of it


working the Maypole solo, fucking with middle/right knob through out repetitions and flip the switch for half of it. one repetition with holy mountain engaged somewhere in there

[Snufkino]

Maypole: WOW. not exactly sure what the middle and right knobs do, but they are interactive and can make this fucker ROAR. this just might be my favorite fuzz that I've tried so far. was A/Bing with my dan muff for a minute ultimately, they're different beasts, but I really love how this thing cuts. it's such a well rounded fuzz. can go from clean/massive boost to a ripping face melter. probably played the same riff through this thing for an hour. this one blew it out of the park for me.

the batteries were loose in all of the pedals, I've opened them up and stuck them on as tight as I can, hopefully they remain like that!

no LED/9v jack is a bummer. I understand they're supposed to be vintage styled replicas, but I think it'd be a welcome update

all in all, thanks for the opportunity! calling dibs on that maypole if it's a possibility

Thanks for the feedback and clips.

I printed off instructions for the Maypole and FY-1, so someone must have lost them along the way. The Maypole's controls left to right are volume, bias and fuzz. The toggle is a bright/dark tone setting. Down is the stock fuzz face sound, and up is a much leaner sound.

First I've head of Midnight Amp pedals too. The Holy Mountain sounds great, and their line up reminds me I seriously need to up my game.

[D.o.S.]

Just don't delete any negative criticism of the company and you'll be good.

[Inconuucl]

Got em'! Will post reviews later today/tomorrow.

[Snufkino]

'sup?

[Inconuucl]

Having some trouble that hasn't let me actually leave my house. (broken front door only locks, not unlocks, from the inside type of deal) So I'm waiting for my landlord to come in so he can fix it, which will be either today or tomorrow.

[Inconuucl]

Sent! Sorry for the long wait, guys.

[resincum]

..did you try them?

[Inconuucl]

Yeah! I was planning to make a couple of videos on Instagram on each one, but I had some life shit happen and I didn't get to play much guitar at all. I did play while waiting for my door to get fixed. The Maypole was my favorite, but the FY-1 had a really nasty bite that I loved, I just wish it had a more controllable filter to tame some of the frying pan out of it. I felt like they stacked really well too, stacking the Orpheum with the FY-1 was tasty as hell. I'd buy these if they weren't battery only (and a good price), but I get that's the aesthetic.

I think if I build any more FY-1's the extra features will change. Probably try a much larger input cap for a start. I'll need to refine the circuit layout too. As much as I like the look of those stupidly oversized caps it's such a pain the arse to build.

A good price? You cheeky twat!

I can put a 9v adapator on them, but they'd need a postive ground PSU, or a special cable adaptor. Not including the ones in the tourbox, I have a couple of Orpheums and Maypoles left so let me know if you're interested because the next batch will be more pricey

I had an enclosure spare, and made this up for Tristan. The footswitch is in place of the toggle, and the big-ass switch at the top is an on/off switch, though in hindsight I could have probably used a standard on/on spst toggle... I think.

[Dungus]

DId anyone record a bit of the maypole? How much do they cost?

[Snufkino]

Resicum recorded some clips in his post above, and here's my main playlist page: https://soundcloud.com/fuzzwell/sets

The ones from this first batch are going relatively cheap, between £55 and £65

[Dungus]

Cool, cheers. Forgot to say, resimcum's Soundcloud embeds aren't showing for me. Can someone post the urls? Thankyeeee
