Anyway, I got all the pots desoldered and installed leads to go to new pots. Before rehousing I plugged the bare board in and tested. The boost channel worked fine, but the two fuzz channels were extremely quiet. While futzing with the board, I touched the contacts of the volume pot with my fingers and heard AM radio (I know this is normal). I was amused so I kept touching them and tried to see what I could hear. It was just some sports show, but it kept getting louder and louder. I kept touching the contacts and it just kept getting louder and louder over about 2 minutes until the fuzz channels matched the volume of the boost channel. ***!?

It's like the Fuzz channels needed to be charged by stray AM radio signal. Obviously this is impossible, but I have no explanation for what happened there. Freaking weird.

It's going in one of those cool wrinkle black finish Hammond boxes and will be named something Electric Wizard-esque. Any suggestions for names? I was contemplating using the Electric Wizard Font and/or artwork, since as I'm sure lots of you know, it's Electric Wizard guitar tone in a box.

Hmmmm how bout the Black Butterfly or the Wooden Pipe?

Haha, well it would all depend on when and where, and if we were going to be in that area. But we're not opposed to playing interesting places. We play a lot of basement shows in chicago, so it's not all huge europeon festivals for us....yet.

June 8th, in northern WI. Smaller show, Superlong sets with intent to record both audio and video of it for a future release or something.

We're not a full time touring band so maybe a week or so (most likely out east) and random one off long weekends are mostly in our schedule. But it'll still be awhile before said new record is written. We recorded some demo's of the songs we have last night so we can see how they play out and think of any tweaks we need to do (sorry, can't share those just yet).

Would LOVE for you guys to come to Madison, WI. I'd be there will all my friends no doubt. There's some other guys that frequent this thread from Madison/Milwaukee too.

Just peeped excane's classified on ILF and whattya know, he's got an Ultraviolet. He's holding it for me through the weekend. Sweet! Thinking of throwing my Oxfuzz on the classifieds here to fund it. Anyone here interested? I'll give a doom brother discount.

I would be there in a slowed down, tuned down heart beat. Heart of DOOM!

I got my guitarist one for Xmas. He loves it. He's looking at the biyang fuzz 10 right now.

Josh Pelican · #**910** 12-27-2012, 10:59 AM

I'm hoping to snag a LSTR for $85 plus a few dollars for shipping. I'll write some sweet doom riffs.

Oxfuzz is a great pedal. (Also used to be mine)

I like The Wooden Pipe! I've been thinking about naming my future business "Satyr9", a play on "saturnine". Saturnine means slow, heavy, gloomy, and also happens to be an Electric Wizard track. A Satyr is also the half man half goat creature, so some cool meaning there. Might name the pedal that as well.

"Wizard in Black" might be cool too, considering the pedal will be all black. idk.

I plan on adding some nice big chunky vintage-looking knobs too. I'm not going to add an external switch to switch between modes, I think the FuzzII is the only decent mode, so I'm just going to keep it here. That way I don't have to desolder the damn 3pdt switch from the cramped board either. I HATE desoldering.

I'll sell it back to you, lol. I'd keep it if I wasn't GASing so hard for the ultraviolet.

I still love my rat, but the demon king just dominates in the mix. I can hear and feel every note with authority and clarity. It's awesome.

Was that the only pedal you tried out recently?

Hey guys! Long time lurker here. I'll introduce myself properly at some later point. Suffice to say that I'm from Norway and play a Ric

Can't remember if this blog has been posted in earlier threads, but it's worth repeating. In case the holidays are as slow for you as they are for me:

Awesome. A dude backed out of the sale, so I just grabbed a Black Arts LSTR for $95 shipped.

I've been listening to these comps for years, great stuff! The guy that makes them used to post on the old SR.com board as r0b0c0p. Great free music and he just keeps cranking them out.
