Thanks! ... and maybe kinda a weeee little bit. Oddly, the Mars Volta is playing in the background as I type this.

The OXFuzz BAss is pretty rad, however probably the least safe pedal on my board at the moment as I dont use that much dirt in my band, and what I do use, the SUF Civil War covers beautifully. My main issue is that I usually play with an MusicMan Stingray and the active pick-ups dont really seem to make the pedal scream the way it should. When I plug in my Fender PJ, it gives the pedal a whole different life.

But for what its worth, its an excellent dirt pedal with some great OD and Fuzz tones.

I really want another B3K... I keep thinking one will pop up in the classifieds, but I may just have to pop for a new one. Maybe Ben and I should do a group purchase.

Thinking of the same thing, doing a B3K and B7K combo. B7K as my pre always on OD, then the B3K before all other pedals as a flavoring dirt/distortion.

Shame about the quality of the phone pics. Got a few new toys incoming as well...

Your're not Al Heeley per chance? I think I recognise the chorus and WM.

No I'm not, but you're right, they were built for me by Al and top quality they are too!

I was just now wondering what those were.

behndy · #**667** 04-29-2012, 04:09 PM

's funny. i've never had a "natural" B3k. sent mine's to Bri'n at SS/BS to paint up before it got to me. i keep getting confused by what they are when i see them on other people's boards. the finish BriBri did for me seems lile what they should ALL look like.

There is some fantastic boards and have to agree. Though, as I learn more, I'm more aware of what all these colorful boxes do too.

bigchiefbc · #**669** 04-29-2012, 10:07 PM

Just did a reconfig of my covers board tonight so I could integrate my new Dwarfcraft dualie. It's getting so that I really don't GAS for anything more for this board. I'm sure I'll eat those words soon enough

Derek Balonek · #**670** 04-30-2012, 12:16 AM

That board is amazing. What are you covering that lets you use all that? Or is it how are you covering songs with those effects?

G3Mitch · #**671** 04-30-2012, 12:21 AM

mightythor, freakin' sweet board man.

I went to a music expo the other day and almost got a prunes and custard purely from all the great things i hear about it. How u like it??? would it be suitable as a fuzz? i don't know alot about it

behndy · #**672** 04-30-2012, 12:22 AM

yah. Big Chiefin's is that awesome mix of pure cool and actually USED.

so tasty.

Derek Balonek · #**673** 04-30-2012, 12:25 AM

Also, if that's the simpler one, I am made at least vaguely uneasy by what the big board is capable of. Like some kind of Eldritch Horror. The Cthulu-board?

Hi Mitch,

I definitely wouldn't use the P&C purely as a stand alone fuzz pedal - I'm growing to like it the more I gig it but while I find it is great used in conjunction with another fuzz (Pickle Pie or Micro Fuzz in my case), on it's own it seems to lack depth or something similar. Used with other pedals it adds a touch of synthiness to the sound which I quite like.

sillyfabe · #**676** 04-30-2012, 02:19 AM

Instead of a Prunes and Custard have you considered a Tech 21 Red Ripper? It can cop some P&C and loads more. Was GAS'ing for one but got a Red Ripper: my GAS for a P&C is now gone!

Red Ripper is AWESOME. One of the very few pedals I sold and actually really miss!

sillyfabe · #**678** 04-30-2012, 03:24 AM

I love mine its very versatile. Can cop Moogie type sounds, Brassmaster, staright fuzz and more. I'm sure you can fit it on that crazy board of yours!

My fuzz needs are filled. The Mastotron does pretty much everything for me but just to be sure I have a custom FUZZROCIOUS Grey Stache (high gain and always-on gate to remove feedback) in the post.

Believe it or not, it all gets used quite a bit. My band does Tool (Whammy, flanger, chorus, fuzz), RATM (overdrive, delay), Alice in Chains (overdrive, flanger for Them Bones), Black Sabbath (overdrive/fuzz, wah), Incubus (all kinds of crap), etc. We also do a few dancey numbers, thus the synth. My band is pretty cool about my effects use, they never really give me any crap about it, since it really adds a lot to the song.

Well, my other board isn't really bigger, just different. It's also going to get overhauled next, now that I'm done with this one, but this is what it looked like last time it was together:
