Oxfuzz guitar effects pedal demo Silicon vs Germanium fuzz pedal w Les Paul & Dr Z amp

[MrCollinMcKinney]

I would have liked it more if you had put the "germ.." and "silicon" labels under the pedals, and revealed them at the end of the video. So it would be a blind test.

Very helpful videos you have here.

[DaJayManable]

great job with the demo! Love that you get right into it. Totally helped me figure out what my next fuzz is gonna be. Thanks, man.

[icobos]

Is it a MUST to wear that kind of cocodrile boots to record guitar stuff demo videos?

[Rampensau99]

sounds both great...

[theshyguitarist]

I have a question. I'm a pedal noob and was wondering if you're supposed to run a pedal like this one through a gain channel or a clean one.

[LesterPaul01]

What's the name of the song at the beginning of the vid??

[posplotico]

for me both sounds great!!!!!, but think Silicon is more clear and controlled in the sound

[frans688]

love germanim attak¡¡¡¡¡

[xPsuedo]

i prefer germanium by just *this*  much

[TheDriveMaster]

Germanium is alive!!

[lazzer408]

You should stomp them at the same time.

[Ncuab]

GERMANIUM - sounds fuzzier and bassier, it also seems to react with a sputter to heavier pick attack

SILICON - sounds a little smoother and the overall tone seems more balanced

***like always, it depends on what other gear you're using, how all of your gear complements/works against each other, what sound you're looking for, how it feels, and what you're willing to pay.***

[Baijidoom]

Great comparison! I think I prefer silicon as it sounds and acts more like a cranked amp. Germanium tends to squash the transients and turn the signal into some kind of unholy organic squarewave, a little too much for my uses, but I guess that's what most of us would associate with fuzz.. Oh, and can you admit you're Jack Black already?

[hopedatuchoke]

I've watched both your demoes of this and I prefer it with the volume cranked :D It's just fuller and thicker, the way fuzz should be

[jlopez47]

It's about time GMD demo-ed these massive pedals.  I have #43! in all its germanium goodness.

[oxfuzz]

Damn G.... volume on full?? These sound much better with volume at 3:00..... dig it.

peace

[JVStratocasters]

agree with you again

[jlopez47]

I agree. My OXFUZZ does sound better with vol on 3 o'clock.

[weirdotis]

Sounds like the silicon is a little brighter... but the Germanium has that classic fuzz tone.

[sportsportsport]

sounds epic!

[popomczowzow]

YES! I'm glad you finally demoed these. These things are rockin aren't they?

I think I like the Germanium better, but I'm not really sure....it's too hard to choose.

Both at once = deadly

[redbird963]

germanium

[meinshnake]
