VFE Woodchipper

[gregmon79]

So I just got this pedal today and thought I'd share a few insights/opinions on it. What an awesome fuzz!!!! I'm really diggin the way it sounds and acts. It can do a traditional fuzz to some pretty crazy tear your face off type stuff. I couldn't believe what was inside when I looked. This thing is stuffed full! I can't believe they could fit space for a battery. I saw a little internal trim and thought, cool! what does that do?! I started turning it to see. It wasn't making any different noises. Well, that's because it's to adjust the power/brightness of the LED. Way cool. Icing on the cake. Here's what the inside looks like:

I love mine too. Kind of a brassmaster type fuzz. You're Doom is very similar I thought. I swapped the original knobs I picked out for these. I like it!

I like it. Where can I buy?

 

[gregmon79]

Yeah I know. I'll have to try and repost the pics again. Don't know what happened. I did what always done.

What do y'all think??

Man I just keep falling for this pedal the more I play it. It's just so massive and monstrous, so raunchy and piercing get punchy and full. Like a big saw chewing/through the air. And when you play chords, WOW. It's just brutal. I can't wait to jam with this guy in my setup. My band hasn't jammed in like 3 weeks and won't yet for a couple more. Since we jammed last I picked up the VFE and the rusty box. My tone is going to me so aggressive. I likey you guys know me, I've never really been a fuzz guy. I didn't take much time checking out fuzzes all this time. I don't know what came over me but the last couple months have had me searching out THE fuzz for me. I can honestly say, I think I found it. Such a great bass fuzz. The bottom knobs gives all that punch you lose with a lot of fuzzes. I can't see myself getting lost in the mix with this bad boy. I'm gonna saw right through it!!

I found mine on ilovefuzz the forum. I had to trade off my duality for it but I'm happy I made the leap of faith. The was along $167 for it but I think they're roughly $220 if you order them from VFE directly. I think.

I'm just now realizing he forgot to write "VFE" on mine. Ha! Have to correct that.

I don't see it on the site anymore. I emailed Peter to get some details.

if you think that ther's a lot of circuitry in your woodchipper, take a look at what's inside my VFE bass triumerate (10 trimpots, + an 11th for the led brightness!)

Damn, looks like I have another fuzz on my to-try list. Hope it's not like the You're Doom as mentioned above, as I thought that pedal sucked.

 

[jwr]

You think that's a lot. Wait until you see the custom pedal Mr. Excane has coming from VFE. Haha

Holy hell!! That is nuts! I was just perusing their site last night and came across that pedal. Seemed intriguing. But wow, that's a lotta work jammed into that box. And they still have a battery compartment! Crazy.

I had the regular triumverate and didn't care for it at all. I'll bet the bass version sounds WAY better. Intrigued!
How is it Johnk_10?

Johnk_10 is no slouch either in the building dept. His Gamma OD has a permanent spot on my board.

Damn, looks like I have another fuzz on my to-try list. Hope it's not like the You're Doom as mentioned above, as I thought that pedal sucked.

Let's just say I still have the Woodchipper. The You're Doom is great with other pedals and his whole synth symphony of pedals is going to be a monster combo.

And what may that be??? Color me interested.

Yeah it looks like they JUST revamped their site. It's no longer on there. I emailed peter and inquired on a couple things. He told me that the ver 1 WC isn't being made any longer and that he's working on ver 2 and it's still a couple months out from completion. Not sure if that means that the ones preordered or what not are that far out though. But he said ver 2 had knob pots instead of switches and it'll be a lot more versatile. I have a pretty rare pedal at this point and or moving forward

I want to check out V2 when it arrives. I love V1.

Hopefully Jeff doesn't mind me sharing this.

I love Jeff.

 

[gregmon79]

Oh. My. God. Goodness. I wang to hear what it can do! Also, what is it?!

[jwr]

I, I don't know. LOL! All I can do is pray he has time to do a demo.

I missed this earlier. Where did you order the knobs. I like them too.
