Bluebeard fuzz pedal

JJT247 · #1 01-22-2010, 03:59 PM

I need this pedal, and I would like to get ahold off the guy who sells them. Does anyone know their website? I googled them like 10 times and only found pedal reviews

. Does anyone know their website?

There is no website as far as I know, and they're quite hard to get hold of. If you can solder, you're better off getting a GGG-tuned muff kit from General Guitar Gadgets, it's the same circuit.

This.
I don't see what the fuss is about. It's not that great. Just a big muff variation.

I think he does most of his business through his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/sanfordandsonny

thanks for the replies! Il check his myspace out.

their is one in the classifieds here i think

Woogles · #7 01-22-2010, 04:30 PM

why do you "need" this pedal if i may ask?

Sonny is a great guy, but he takes awhile to get back to you from my experience. The GGG tuned big muff is the same thing.

If you pay me I'll assemble the GGG kit for you.

Yeah, seriously, the Bluebeard is just a GGG Muff. I really don't get the hype on this thing at all. Anyone with even a very slight competence with a soldering iron can make one. I made a BYOC kit on my first time ever picking up a soldering iron, and it worked perfectly.

THE BLUEBEARD IS NOT A GGG TUNED MUFF.

Evidence. On both sides actually. I'd like to hear both sides since all I know is the hype of the pedal. Not the actual circuit.

totalimmortal08 · #13 01-22-2010, 06:36 PM

There are threads on this subject. Use the search

read the threads, threads say its similar apart from a few resistors but so are all the other muffs. a few resistors can make a pretty big difference to the sound.

On a topic that isn't discussed every week, it's not appropiate to yell "search". I do know the difference in sound resistors make so don't worry about that.

Check http://www.atomicmusic.com/ in Maryland. Sonny used to work for them, they link to his e-mail and/or myspace, they get used and new Bluebeards in for sale on occasion, AND I sold them my Bluebeard (#304) this past Monday. Based on what they were saying, they go fast and they can't keep up with the demand.

It's about the mystique of the unknown and/or unattainable - if Sonny was easy to contact and the pedal was easy to come by, the allure would be less. It's an very cool pedal - whether or not it's easy to copy with a GGG muff kit.

Somewhat on topic and somewhat off. Grygrx, I remember sometime ago you rehoused your S&S. Will you post a picture of that again?

dannybuoy · #18 01-23-2010, 12:10 AM

I thought only one resistor was different and that it was the one connected to the LED which has no effect on the sound? IIRC there was a thread where Karate Kid compared all the resistor values somewhere.

This is turning into yet another BB vs GGG thread, we could do with a sticky on this topic!

I need it because im trying to get a mastodon blood mountain fuzz tone in my band.
Im trying to replicate this tone:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtpICy8msw8

This pedal will do this i hope.

Edit: If this bluebeard pedal is too hard to aquire, il probably look into the El Grande bass fuzz. Troy Sanders from mastodon has both these pedals...if only i knew which one he recorded blood mountain with. They both sound good....

I own a bluebeard and a tech I know has a GGG. They dont sound alike imo and his
