Has anyone built a Superfuzz with a starve control? Is it common and I can't remember? Should you build one & write HECK on the front & profit? I should do that with my Air Trash, maybe
I guess I've lived long enuff to see this kinda malarkey (good on you, YT4K beer bro w/ exceedingly high production values), but I can't help but feel like I'm being deeply trolled here.
Alas, this is probably cooler?
But then again, maybe I should just stick with my DOD Grunge pedal (almost forgot that was the OG cash-in, but it's so ingrained in my mind that it's like family at this point)

They both do! But I can't help but think Nirvana guy is some sort of plant, or will inevitably take the cash once someone wises up to what he's doing and turn into one, eventually. Anyone who keeps inserting 8mm footage of his girlfriend looking like a mannequin is bound to bend the knee once his ding a ding dang his dang along ling long.
Also, if you're talkin' bout the Swim Team, Mojo Hand still does interesting stuff, though I have never dipped my toe fully enough, despite their forum presence (apologies to Eric!, if he's still out there). The Octaverse is pretty nice, though I was curious to why they tastefully tapered the max out to not oscillate
I ordered a previous version but the order cancelled because the builder flaked out. I later heard horror stories about them.
I almost forgot about that guy, whom I also once followed but had to bolt due to said guy posting 10000 insanity-laden stories in his feed when that was a nacent and unique thing to do on IG, and never understanding why people would shell out for his DS-1 clones with Exceedingly Violent Ned Flanders art. It felt like he was purposefully making pedals his personal collectable's market (ridiculously tall/long pedal enclosures, blister packed seasonal mini-pedals with holofoil cards, etc.), especially since the distance between what the pedals actually did vs. how they looked were a huge disparity. Happy to hear you escaped unscathed!

I thought it sounded great for a DIY thing. I'm happy he's happy. I don't want it though.
The only superfuzz I want is to have my buzzz back
It's a shame the Buzz is now in MINI cost-territory, but I guess that's what happens when bodies start slappin' from doin' the Brian Thang
As far as idol worship, KK will always been part of my DNA, so I don't have any qualms with how the pedal sounds (it sounds great!), but the vehicle and delivery of this guy's message is horseshit, obviously. It's impossible to learn how to plow from just reading books is all I'm sayin'
Also, it also seems impossible to explain to anyone that some of the most unique records ever made were recorded in less-than-ideal circumstances with shitty equipment & bad mics in non-proofed rooms by people who didn't exactly know what they were doing, and that (sometimes) they were having fun in the process. The opposite can also be true, but I'd don't think I'd get anywhere with Nirvana guy since he already has more vintage & high-end gear at his disposal than most recording musicians had 30 years ago (even at the behest of being signed to a major label). But I need to stop caring about this guy NOW, so I will
But when it comes down to it, maybe I just want to play a rig like one of my other heroes:

I hadn’t really thought about that, I think my BS detector leaves something to be desired. So with regard to this dude being a “plant”…who do you think planted him? I have no idea how that type of thing works/happens in this context.

This is very true. Also gotta keep in mind that just like e-girls doing video game themed porn a lot of these channels are just another version of someone trying to make a living not working a normal yob... sometimes they are helpful, sometimes they are entertaining and sometimes they miss the whole point of their actual point... I think my favorite a few years back when I went through a binge on these gear-nostalgia guys was circle of tone.. because he seemed to understand the difference between a recorded sound on a album and a live sound... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w11P7eN0Ero
But it still gets super nerdy and self promoting as you go.. as far as copying herotonez... it's hit or miss.. everyones "hands" [i.e. brains] work a little different so getting anything spot on is near impossible... I think chord shapes, pick placement and picking attack with a similar string gauge mixed with a similar pickup will get you closer than the right pedal/amp.. But... I've always been the guy trying to not sound like anyone most of the time.. I think it comes from learning bass in the early 90s where all the bands I like had what I thought was a shitty bass sound that was burried under the guitar.. so I looked to reggae, blues/soul for inspiration .. until I heard Black sabbath... then you go wait.. the bass was HUGE and it was heavier than McTallicA [the cheeseburger O' Metalz] and you go.. "what happened" and then you find sludge and doom but there where years in-between of hating the sound of the bands I liked
circle of tone guy has some good videos about other people's tone. i feel he has at least a little more of a "use this info for inspiration" rather than just talking about some big secret. I feel he tries too hard to be provocative though.
i think most of the tonechasery business is people wanting confirmation that magic exists. when you bring up how to use eq or gainstaging whatever it very hastily goes back to "it as to be a green guitar or it aint sound right".
imagine finding out your son is your daughter & she's into noise music
Who can blame people wanting magic though.. the more we go down this path of ai's and robots dichotomized with biblical realism the more sad and boring the world gets. also I fixed my green guitar yesterday so I'm good to go

Conspiracy is the last refuge of personal agency, probably, but I also gotta blame the algoriddims, but who am I to blame for posting this vid here to uptick his traffic, etc., so I'm as much as a cog in this foreverwheel of misery (Missouri?), and I'm sorry
But plants, as it were, are usually the most obvious thing, especially when their parents are somewhat on the edge of the industry they live to serve (Phoebe Bridgers, Post Malone, Oliver Tree, Judd Apatow's kids, etc.), if they aren't already the most boring people front & center, anyway.
