Pedal Breeders' BIG Board Club Part II: Biggins'

[BartmanPDX]

I can't help you with the seizure cluster, but for the pedal. Buy the pedal you want. PM SunnBass for his Pedal Mod Podge tutorial. Download a Mr Sparkle image from the Net and size it in photoshop to your pedal, print it out. Whack it onto the pedal using the Mod Podge tutorial as your guide. Boom, done and 'cause it's not for sale, for your own private use and you're not using it for self promotion and you don't have a lot of money to be extracted from a protracted IP Legal Action... No fear of retribution; You have the pedal you wanted with Mr. Sparkle.

That's a really good idea. At one point yesterday it crossed my mind that my college roommate, who is a graphic artist/cartoonist and a guitarist, could easily hand paint me any of the Simpsons characters on a pedal and would probably love to do it. He does incredible work, and I think I could probably come up with something I'd really like. Tempted to go with Krusty and a pissed-off Sideshow Bob in the background. Itchy and Scratchy would be good too.

SuperFuzz sweatzzz

Yessir!

Given that all options are around $200 - this would seem like the best call? They seem to make really sweet poopie.

All custom order though right? Does anyone have stock?

 

[BartmanPDX]

Given how much you like the fuzz this would seem worth the gamble at $65 no?

Yeah, but I'm VERY close to pulling the trigger on the GeFuzz 3.2 art edition. I really do love the GeFuzz and the thought of having one with more controls and that wicked light gives me the FuzzSweats. Somehow I have to snag it, and I've got to ignore everything else, no matter how cheap/tempting.

dude $65! You love that fuzz. If you don't buy it, I might!

 

[BartmanPDX]

BTW, there's a new black spacerocket on ebay now for $219 plus shipping. I still kind of regret selling mine though I love the Sputnik.

Bad, dude, bad. Hearing that Gratitude bass line has me Fuzz Sweating badly.

@XXL

Although I think you should get the Sputnik, that's a great deal.

I know. It might be really cool. But I'm smitten by the art edition GeFuzz and it's over $300. If I get it, I can't be buying the Goth pedal.

Had the Big Spider for awhile. Massive mean tone but the Leed Fuzz actually worked better for me with my gear set up than the Big Spider did.

 

[BartmanPDX]

Here's the web page for the Goth pedal. He's sold out of them, but they originally went for a hell of a lot more than $65.

@jwr would it be possible to rehouse a Manta?

Actually no. They use some kind of weird switching system and I have NO clue what I'm doing with that guy. I thought about it with my own when I had one. Now we could still etch it. It's made out of metal.

 

[jwr]

I want a superfuzz, I've wanted a superfuzz for a long time, but if I get one, I need to get rid of another fuzz first. Maybe the You're Doom. @DirtyDuke , I never use it, but I will regret it, won't I?

You have to be careful with super fuzzes. Not a lot of them are bass friendly.

Which ones do you like?

The silver rose does look huge (size and just general hugeness).View attachment 619755View attachment 619756

Double sigh... So this is a Superfuzz as well?

That thing squashes your signal dude. I don't know why anyone uses one for bass.

The Buzzzzz from SS/BS seems good. But I've never owned a super fuzz yet that didn't just kick my low end in the balls. LOL

 

[jwr]

Which ones do you like?

I can't find one that doesn't suck. I've tried many, many fuzzes.

Let me ask Excane. Guarantee he has one that works well. LOL

Really? Bummer! Hmmmmmm. Have you held one or is it just from videos and other people's reports?

I asked Excane. LOL. We have the exact same bass and amp set up basically. So if it killed his lows, it will kill mine.

I saw that Verellen was offering a clean blend on it. That to me indicates it does squash it quite a bit.

 

[jwr]

Kinda looking like the Silver Rose is the way to go. There is a demo of the BUZZZ on Juans site but I don't know how I feel about it. Sometimes I really like it other times I feel like something's off.

Dude, the Silver Rose is on my major GAS list. I want one so bad it's not even funny. lol

So the rails is awesome. It really does have that GK flavor to it. It's gonna work. And it's so nice to have the OC2 back onboard. I missed it
