I look at this pedal, think it's great, consider buying it; but then I look at my fuzz factory, and realise it can create basically every tone any other fuzz can. Damn I love Z-Vex. :D (of course not the exact same, but very similar sounds).
How well does this pedal work live? In terms of settings (and sound creation) how dynamic is this pedal? I'm just looking for answers before I buy so I appreciate any help I get.
My god man the fuz on the riffs when your ripping on the old girl just gives me fuzzy feelings inside. With that said, I think fuzz is the most dynamic type of distortion we have
I've got one of these and I can't for the life of me get it to oscillate with the volume knob the way that you're doing, even on all the same settings. Any suggestions? I'm using a Jazzmaster through the fuzzgun into a fender hotrod.
@ruarimacleod83 - You have it in oscillation mode, correct? Also, some fuzz pedals don't deal with buffered signals well, so if you have a buffered pedal in your signal chain before the Fuzz Gun, you might try moving it. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
@ProGuitarShopDemos so would fuzz pedals not do well if installed a buffer/preamp like a stratoblaster onboard into my guitar? what would be the effect? I figured it would even allow me to get more out of my fuzz and overdrive pedals by being able to drive them harder
@goldenmonkeycolor - It depends on the pedal, but with fuzz pedals you often will not get "more" out of them by driving them harder. Vintage-style fuzzes are especially prone to behaving badly with hotter signals.
Have you tried with the Rhythm circuit's volume knob. the issue with Jags and Jazzies when using oscillating fuzz is the lead circuit. Those 1meg pots are too sensative. you sweep right past that sweet spot of intermingled oscillation. try the rhythm circuit. the volume and tone pots are a smaller value so you get a more gradual sweep through the oscillation.
When I first came to see and listen to pgs demos i tought it was going te be some guy talking about the manual or some douchebag thinking he can do anything.
But these demos are absolutely off the bottom to the edge of julia's kitchen to bob's garden awesomely insanely cool!
What parameter is "oscillated"? Volume? Drive? Frequency (of what)? I would like to understand how and what the oscillation function is doing. Thank you in advance.
Some one needs to make an envelope filter with a bias knob, and a blend knob to blend the wet and dry. And then Call it the Flea, or the Psycho sexy filter.
Man i love the proGuitarShop effects demos. Andy you rule. @ 2:29 "sweet sixteen" iggy pop!!!!!! that's such a killer rock riff. pretty forgotten. bowie and iggy did such fine job on that record.
I want this to have a footswitchable gate not a toggle switch! Mine stays in oscillation mode most of the time. This pedal can get some really nice fuzz tones. This and the harmonic transformer are the two best fuzz pedals DBA makes imho. Id buy another harmonic transformer but the box is HUGE!
Hey Andy..& PGS .. just wanted to say "THANKS" a huge bunch for helping all us Gear Heads try & make sense of all the stuff that is out there. It's kinda overwhelming, w/ all the available pedals- but you kats at PGS really help a lot ! THANKS a lotta.
Actually I have a FF and this pedal. The FF is more modern and this can sound classic or modern. This is a great all around sounding fuzz pedal. This is my favorite DBA fuzz pedal.
thats no reason not to buy one... I bought one about two months ago and it sholud be delivered tomorrow!! 2 months of waiting has almost killed me. You people in the states are lucky to never have to wait for shit like this!!!
Oh these are Oliver's pedals from the band A Place To Bury Strangers, this kid has one hell of a talent. Buy these pedals guys he works his butt off and they sound insane.

It changes the voltage going to the output transistor, less voltage = dying battery sound.
