[maciverandy]

daddy wanty

[NOodleFISH72]

Hell yeah Mastodon!

[youenjoy00myself]

The Good Life!!

[AdamMcCarter92]

can you do a demo on the tortuga wendigo fuzz please?

[kyletheenigma]

Andy playing Mastodon? He's so fucking cool.

[mcbm1991]

It's certainly Mastodon. And it's so sick!

[panteraman32]

Nice opening Mastodon riff

[clund69]

Damn... I want this pedal!!! BUT!  Sorry - $300 is way to much for a Fuzz! :( Looks like the Musket is the one for me.

[000MidnightSun]

mastodon!

[ghsr82]

that riff at the beginning is fuckin awesome

[MrNinjapenguin666sk8]

@ghsr82 its mastodon

[golluba]

@ghsr82 its in the light by led zeppelin

[SerratedSmiles]

@golluba Actually it's "Oblivion" by Mastodon

[gamecubedude03]

Would this work okay on bass?

[punkmusicmetal]

Is it really worth the 299? Yeesh... One hundred more away from buying a HOG which does infinitely more...

[Phlemberg]

John Green would love this pedal if he played guitar!

[leech03]

MASTODOOOON! 

[Breadstick1234]

Picked up one of these on ebay today. Mega pumped.

[squidgeymush]

Mastodon and Floyd. Great choices Andy.

[desertdemon1993]

I would have this pedal just for the graphics!! FIND HIM !

[alsharpton666]

nothing like a yeti to scare your tone into sounding great!

[griffinmpable]

i wouldnt be able to play anything evil on this. everything i played would end up sounding way too happy just because every time i would go to step on it i would look at it and start laughing!

[formine56]

mastodon!

[Wiggzzzz]

i thought this was the greatest pedal ever, but the more i listen the more i hear that cheap distortion hiss

[themetallicat86]

@Wiggzzzz

Please, don't think me rude, but there isn't much hiss in this thing in real life. Hit it with some humbuckers and it gets nice and thick. I actually have a video up of mine (you can see my foot and my classic 30 on the screenshot).

[marchenoir44]

Pink Floyd? That was pretty nice for having a Muffy attack.

[OscoCaster]

love the old weezer ;)

[th1nkman]

This is an angry ass Fuzz pedal!!! I'm getting one :P

[remotemicrosurgery]

hhahahahaha FIND HIM!!!!!!

[back2thefutre]

Mastodon at the beginning sounds better than the real song.

[thmsrojo]

watching all these pgs videos pretty much make me not want to spend a single cent for all the common gear at guitar center, or a local guitar shop. though all these pedals are way more expensive though, great tone but only can afford one damn pedal XD haha

[whoomit]

Anybody know what the song playing in the background from around 0:43 - 1:14 is?! Sounds awesome!

[ihavenoname93]

wow. i wasnt expecting mastodon. it perfectly fits the graphics though haha

[derekbells]

what is the riff he plays at :22 seconds

[ihavenoname93]

@derekbells its the same as the riff he plays at the beginning. oblivion by mastodon

[doodlin17]

this pedal sounds great!

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

IN THE LIIIIIGGGHHHHTT!!! yoou will fiiindd the rooaad! :D

one of the heaviest riffs ever. only Jimmy Page can let you feel a riff in your gut like that. not metal players with chunky craploads of distortion, not Slash, not Van Halen, not anyone but Page. FEEL THE PRESENCE. (Zep-pun intended.)

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

FIND HIM! i love this pedal.

[S34n4s4ur]

woah

mastadon.

[arpraron]

@S34n4s4ur Mastodon :)

[nickfromdtown1992]

i love the way its set up. that cracks me up

[f1sk8mm]

ahhaha awesome demo Andy

[appledecca]

Hmmm... very nice! Thank You. Grrrrrrr

[ironrushscorp]

this pedal is......amazing

no other words

[Wiggzzzz]

i feel like this pedal doesnt get enough attention for how insanely good it is

[posiedonpowertrio]

thats Led Zeppelin

[ddos411]

pink floyd

[dilnatmom]

what mastodon song did you play that riff from

[killershrooms]

oblivion from crack the skye

[nowootno]

How does this work for bass?

[Ombrenuit]

Actually sounds perfect for QotSA stuff

[MojoPenguin]

I think it's Op amp based not transistor. Sounds awesome though.

[Wiggzzzz]

ahh!! mastodon!!

[petruswoo]

"find him" ha! thats great. love the graphics

[doodieinureye]

Haha! Awesome Tortuga!

[6JackMeadHimself9]

damn. if only i had 300 bucks i would buy this beast straight away.

[diriven]

Would love to team this with the Empress Superdelay

[metalmusicown]

how much?

\

[dudeperson324]

like 200 smuthin i think =(

[lmihay]

$299 actually

[blackwulfX]

0_0! well it sounds like its worth it

[maxdisturbed]

Al right! Mastodon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......

[HottDiggityDaffodil]

Other than the crap graphics, this pedal is really nice as well as their sasquatch.

[ploukusa]

U kidding? such cool graphics. :)

[aektzis91]

@HottDiggityDaffodil the graphics are awesome dude

[Lampshade216]

whoa! in the light. i love that song...

[nick12548]

Money

[PrsFenderJackson1980]

So I have it straight in my head. Howl = Treble, Scream = Mid, and Growl = Bass?

[TortugaEffects]

Not quite. "Howl" is Volume, "Scream" is Tone, and "Growl" is Distortion. The tone control actually boosts treble turned clockwise and boosts bass turned counter clockwise. The Anger switch effects the midrange, boosting or cutting it. The fourth position on the switch disengages the tone control altogether and gives you a slight volume boost.

[Tanikaze2]

Anyone else really love this idea for tone controls? Sounds fucking boss.

[HakStam]

mastodon!!

damn, this pedal is awesome, too bad its expensive

[LeftyLP80]

haha "FIND HIM" thats one sick pedal

[NOTTELIN]

... and then I, JIZZED IN MY PANTS

haha bu

[xmusicfeverx]

The opening riff is Oblivion.

[Penguin806]

OBLIVION IN THE BEGINING

[mattkilloran]

The first song is "Oblivion" by Mastodon. Andy, you have good taste.

[OZZYTS808]

Sounds like a cool overloading amp! AWESOME

[RobsYeld]

money solo!

[ZoomRmc]

I think I'll keep my Fireburst

[guitaristman23]

oh yeah playing some mastodon

[blueshotgun017]

2:09 to 2:40 is "The Good Life" by Weezer, but the rest is a mystery to me.

[GTYOYO]

i like the labels howl scream growl anger lol awesome

[Ghold125]

Only if this didn't cost $300...

[skleung]

im not really into fuzz pedals, but this thing sounds pretty cool :D

[BazzTheBoss]

wow, thick as a yeti's fur!

[bush555]

3:20 what is that!! Oh these videos always make me do this!!

[MrTrews]

the solo from 'money' aint it?

[julieail]

money by pink floyd

[bush555]

Nice choice of in the light by Led Zeppelin!

[YourHearse]

man this thing sounds sexy as hell

[V1nt42]

mastodon!!!

[PSYchoMIME]

ooooooohh, i got one =)

[sadgmusic]

what does he mean by true bypass

[ilovemyfender1]

true bypass means when you turn the pedal off, it is completely off. pedals like BOSS are still on when bypassed, or turned off. this means your signal loses some tone when run through that pedal, thus "coloring" your tone. hope this helps.

[cunjoz]

i know what is true bypass, but really? boss is not true bypass? i thaught they were....i will never buy boss(why then are they so popular?)...i'm lucky to have my digitech...

[themennisspk]

boss are popular because they're affordable for poorer guitarists

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

true bypass is the biggest hype in the pedal business today

[guitarskater11]

ANDS ITS NOT EVEN THAT GREAT! woohooo if everything is true bypass you lose a lot of tone

[erixoff]

not always

it's useful in studio, but in liv" conditions it is not a good idea yes, because of the impedance changes (as Pete CORNISH stated)

[fucksalottasluts]

True bypass means that it switches the signal path from going through the effect to straight through, unaffected. It connects the input jack directly to the output jack.

[6rosebudX]

haha great pedal design

[bloodySunday77]

Love the sound effects at the end! Brilliant demo as always, but we would enjoy a touch of humour every now and then...

[hellsing1983]

Mastodon!!!!

[ardaksoy]

Mastodon Yeaaah!!

[ilovemyfender1]

Just the pedal design and knobs makes me want it :D

[xmusicfeverx]

MASTODON OBLIVION FTW!

You won my respect.

[darkcomet112]

MASTODON!!!!!

[RaidenNoKishi]

It would be neat to hear a bass run through this fuzz.

[xKinseh]

In the Light at 1:30! :D

[BongHitsForJesus101]

AWESOME, but $300? Maybe worth it, but I am much too poor.

[jingwah]

ohh i like! whats up wtih these scooped mids nowadays mayer got them soo big!

[MFHCFH]

I WANT IT!

[gidude73]

$299 is too much!!

[44eelz]

[tystratocaster]

plays a weezers goodlife at 2:09

[thejohnofsteel]

MASTODONNNNNN!!!!!!

[deedoubleohdoo]

hellz yeah!!!

[domdabombabc]

sounds good

[dinkymau]

ahhahaha the labels are awsome! haha but what does the tone bypass exactly does?

[PhatJoe170]

Tone bypass simply bypasses the EQ tone settings on the pedal, so the true guitar's tone is heard, not watered down by the pedal's settings. (99% sure)

[Metall110]

what song is he playing in the start???

[deedoubleohdoo]

"Oblivion" by Mastodon.

[amarr1]

rip michael jackson.

[Lioanimals1977]

Fantastic pedal an final solo ( 3:17 )- money

[TyLaw321]

[PowerRider16]

[azm1987]

[codenamev810]

[lovetubegreen]

[ricardoelara]

Hell yea Oblivion!!!

[MusicMedic5150]

[VintageMord]

The anger knob is genius.

[Mushman34]

[KoryWake]

"In The Light!" Awesome!

[Dannyh1234]

In the light.

[djbro16]

idk, still can't do what a big muff can.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

I'm going to say this does the big muff and more.

[HahaCharadeYouARe27]

theres a million different big muffs tho do you think this is better than the tone/wicker big muff?

[Wzwain]

In fact, isn't this circuit based on a big muff?

[HahaCharadeYouARe27]

theres a million different versions of the big muff tho do you think the yeti is better than the big muff with tone/wicker?

[Phishiz]

MASTODON!!!

[WhiteSnipe23]

Hahaha i heard a weezer riff in their. And this sounds amazing.

[JimmyVanKnopfler]

I think I just found my fuzz pedal

[JAMministryProject]

loving the weezer

=w=

[stratocastermaster2]

i like the mastodon intro

[xdivinebladex]

those are the most awesome labels for pots ever

[AelitoKH2Vivi]

That is the coolest looking pedal I think I've ever seen. And that's just the looks!

[nickseckler]

There's tortuga for ya.

[Wakisazhi]

Nice The Good Life cover Andy! But wow that thing has a super fat tone, when you switched the tone bypass on the LP it practically turned into a wall of sound in my earphones. Great stuff!

[robpage1990]

dude andy loves his floyd solos : D

[tylerdwells]

that is a SICK looking pedal.

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

Which artists use fuzz pedals for their main tones?

[Z0ul0u]

Well, this may not help you a lot, but when I think about Fuzz, I mainly think about Muse, Hendrix...

[Wakisazhi]

Check out Matt Bellamy of Muse, he's one of the main guitarists who brought the Fuzz Factory pedal into the limelight. Check out the song Plug In Baby, its one of their more well known singles where he prominently uses the Fuzz Factory pedal.

[animefreak1121]

Dinosaur JR.'s J Mascis uses Fuzz as a main tone

[dupadupadoo69]

i wanna say queens of the stone age but im not sure.....

[CowardlyShoe69]

Malekko 616, fulltone catalyst.

get to it.

[DevlinCarnate]

Starting off with Oblivion? Great call, Andy. And definitely the best graphics since the Devi Ever Bit: the Legend of Fuzz pedal.

[AJ78910]

mastodon. o yeah

[GunnerRecall33]

MASTODON. :D

[saltystudios]

Also, why didn't you guys dime it first thing? Thats would I would do XP.

[sergioXVII]

Wow! Amazing!

And very funny too :D

the mid scoop is very interesting...

[AccountName444]

Money solo too? Sweet dude!

[saltystudios]

Fuzzstortion? I know it's weird but that's the best word for it. I was scared because the opening riff was intense and that "ANGER" knob was on 0...

[ledzep149]

as always, nice review andy!

[Claytons91]

wicked.
