Malekko Barker Assmaster Germanium Fuzz Pedal

[awwwyeaboyeeee]

He said "ass" a total of eight times. That's not enough ass.

[jaysonsayshello]

I bought mine a few months ago, and I decided to open up the pedal a few days ago and I found those fake teeth things (a new one) inside. I thought that was a nice personal touch from Malekko

[nirvana123ful]

breed (:

[IsaacDeanMusic]

It sounds so much nicer with guitar that's why

[shibilski]

yeah, the assmasters a nazi pedals, people shut the fuck up. its a spin on the brassmaster design and color layout

[CryShitWolf]

ME WANT!!

[95ponzo]

awww.....he got the verse for breed wrong :/

[themanchild27]

its called the assmaster....goodbye 285 bucks

[intercept77]

Germanium or regular for Industrial metal? Any sugestions? Thanks

[Schpudd]

@intercept77 i wouldn't say fuzz for industrial metal at all. if anything, an ic muff because it cuts through better than any other fuzz. i'd say get a good amp for distortion and tighten it up using an EQ and a boost pedal. even a compressor would be better than a fuzz.

if you have a clean amp, no distortion whatsoever - message me. i'm sure i can push you in the right direction (and no i'm not a salesman. just really passionate about guitars)

[wickedwizardofspeed]

woah the named a pedal after me!

[bobert995]

I'm so glad you stopped pointing at the pedals in more recent videos.

[ErnestCortez]

I dont mean to stare. We dont have to breed.

[RockaRollaZombie]

Oh god, I tip my hat to you Andy, for not cracking up at the name.

[GallGael2]

@AironlikesApplesAuse Breed by Nirvana

[Shambles940]

Thanks for pointing at the pedal for the whole review. I kept losing track of it.

[TrebleFiend]

Squishy low-end? Ass? and all that pointing! Best video ever.

[skurtix]

It's just offensive if you are an assmaster

[Wiggzzzz]

its called an assmaster and has an upside-down pink triangle on it? thats just incredibly offensive

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Wiggzzzz - Yeah, that's right. Thanks for watching!

- PGS Crew

[ubit397]

@ProGuitarShopDemos YES!!!! :D

[PutItAway101]

@Wiggzzzz You donut stretchers are easily upset aren't you ?

[guitarrhythymfool]

@Wiggzzzz It may be offensive, but I'd still buy it. And I'm gay xD

[hermano1383]

why? :s

[101Petercriss101]

@Wiggzzzz who the fuck gives a shit. It sounds great and its good for a laugh as well so get over it...

[Z52]

@Wiggzzzz How is this offensive to?

[pedalguru89]

@Z52 Search for "Pink Triangle" on Wikipedia. You'll see why some may find it offensive.

[sepultallifly]

@Wiggzzzz The graphics/name are incredibly offensive...just like the tone! Which is why I love this pedal :) Just disgustingly good fuzz!

[weiszed]

@Wiggzzzz Lol, that's offensive? Calling a straight dude a pussymaster sounds groovy with me...

[mattius6]

god germanium is so harsh sounding. sweet.

[riderdude10]

i dont even care...

[intrsoul]

It's called The Assmaster - I must own it.

[MyManDan]

this is how i imagine a fuzz sounding ideally

[mistermafia9]

whats the intro music? awesome by the way, you sold me on the pedal :)

[triclops8]

it´s "breed" by nirvana but the last chord of the chorus is played wrong.

[Ombrenuit]

@triclops8 he can't play it exactly or risk getting a WMG complaint

[westdyolf]

tis not nice to point mr andy lol

[soulrebelsound]

This is dirty. Wish there was a way to combine the smoothness of this germanium fuzz with a touch of the rasp and grittyness of the silicon version.

[loudspeaker003]

BREED, HELL YEAH! \,,/

[jofussdean]

I dont care i dont care i dont care i dont care

[DifferenceDiversity]

yay he played some jethro tull :)

[PizzaPusher2]

Lol

He said ass

Lol

[godofwatt]

make sure to get the silicone assmaster

[OnlyByFishStandards]

this is my only excuse to say ass to my mom's face. mom i want an assmaster for christmas. im sold.

[mynmyself]

wow...this would sound SO amazing with some phaser after it...

[indierickenbacker]

the bassist from SSPU uses this.

[sunnyboyeden]

If this pedal is originally for bass, why didn't these people do half the demo with guitar and the other half with a bass?

[vanillaface93]

People like a very bassy sounding fuzz for their guitar.

[ave666alucard666ave]

To show how diverse the pedal is maybe?

And it sounds pretty good with guitar IMO

[skurtix]

@sunnyboyeden Because it's Pro Guitar Shop. You're looking for Pro Bass Shop :)

[genxtargetmarket]

@sunnyboyeden

Because it doesn't matter what a creative tool's design was intended for. Use it for any damn thing you wish.

[RufusT9]

a thing of shear beauty. Obviously these guys have warped sense of humour. And notice that the 'sensitivity' knob label has little flowers round it. I have to get one for that alone

[m0joGriffin]

Loving the ASSvolume knob haha, and everytime he says Ass you hear him repressing a laugh for the 3 next words haha.

Great bass fuzz though :D

[diegosebafiglop]

that is breed from nirvana

[Timzsk8]

Ass?

[johnnyjolijt]

well, it could have been called "The Asswrangler"...

[geefron]

you can hear the tint in his voice as he says assmaster!

[luckyphilster]

i'd get it for the name alone

[d00derson]

Is this thing somewhat based off of the univox superfuzz? I'm looking for some kind of clone of it, that I don't have to pay $400 for used.

[NeatStar]

You want the Wattson Super Fuzz.

Pro Guitar Shop sell it and have a demo online here.

It's $200, True Bypass, super sturdy and sounds killer. Plus the two guys that make it are good people.

[vtyesfan]

The Original maestro BrassMaster is the secret of Chris Squires stereo Rickenbacker bass sound ! It's about time this pedal has been repro-ed for all YES fans...the only unfortunate thing is the original only cost about $50.00 ! ! ! If you are looking for Chris' sound on "Close To The Edge" and "Tales From Topographic Oceans"...this is the Only fuzz that will faithfully recreate his tone...and the Germanium is the exact repro of the Maestro !

[AirHendrix91]

He shoulda did some Comets on Fire at 3:32

Bummer.

[sagie1234]

assman!

[mistersnaredrum]

whenever i see a pink triangle, i always think 'breed' as well... :oP

[guitarrhythymfool]

haha

but you have to admit, it sounded pretty good, especially since its made for bass

[Dartfish87]

it's brown and pink and called ASSMASTER!!!! wtf

[lesscunning]

the pink triangle is most certainly not lost on me...

[Pied777]

haha some nirvana been played in a guitar related review, i think its a premiere !

[beastmaster112]

the assmaster?

[steelykiss]

Not only is it PINK but it's called the ASSMASTER! Run...

[popovichy121]

xDDD

[TheBlackCrayon77]

Here's a company I have never played around with. How big are these pedals? What a strange fuzz, all those controls and it sounds very similar to a Big Muff. Ahh there we go, at 4:20 it started sounding interesting.

[Precist]

nice LED^^

[Bennyxx08]

Nice pedal, Cool sounds and it works very well..But Dammit. those colours of that device are hideous.. just ugly.

[stopglobalswarming]

Its ugly so no one will steal it.

[josiahcox37]

Just goes to show there is no accounting for some peoples taste. How can you not rock the pink triangle?

[flubbernutz69]

He said Assmaster.

[SteelArmadillo]

Assmaster...huh huh huh

[LemonInYourEye]

BREED! Good song.

[Noog09]

Jesus Christ, that is a Tull riff at 3:40.

[craigdamage]

"To Cry You An Ass"

[pinholedstars]

it's hilarious when he says "germanium assmaster" but tries to keep it kinda straightfaced and professional.

I would definitely giggle if I had to say "ass control" on an instructional video.

Well done vid, though, and killer pedal.

[peavy69]

this pedal was made for paul barker (ministry's bass player)

[metalcore929]

This sounds fucking incedible.

[edadmartin]

aw some chops great demos keep it up!!!

[giorgiomelis2]

cool!!

the first song was from nirvana!

[downwithdixie]

Geeze! Now I can't decide which version I like better. The Germanium is certainly warmer and not as octave up sounding. This might be a better choice for guitar?

[pinholedstars]

wtf are you saying...the octave up is why I want it.

I guess this is better if you're looking for a warmer fuzzy-blanket sound.

[brddork]

I take it this is done with the new recording gear? The amp sounds warmer than the older videos. Great overview as always.

[AJ78910]

lol you played breed by nirvana

[ArchitectofLaw]

lol
