this is a great pedal but you have to know how to deal with it....your amp settings are very important...i like it very much...but when i first came out on the stage with it it wa...hmmm....good...but with time you learn how to use it to have a full and rich fuzz sound...sorry on my english...greetings from Croatia
@ASATbomber probably the pharaoh. very thick wall of fuzz, and has multiple clipping modes. very versatile. however if you want scooped mids, this isn't the fuzz for you.
OK, PGS. Fuzz question. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a fuzz I dig. And the only one that comes close to the sound in my head is the Dano CC Fuzz v1. Didn't even like the boutique fuzz it's supposed to resemble. I don't like the mushy, thick sound of most fuzz pedals. I dig the overtones of fuzz, but I like the clarity of the attack like an OD pedal (the last song Andy played in the video is vrey much the kind of tone I like). So, do I just not like what a fuzz pedal is supposed to do?
great idea pgs on letting andy play and putting the pedal settings on the side! it gives more certainty that youre not being cheated by some guitar trick, and that andy rocks
Over here is Oz, they have this thing called "Movember", you can grow a moustache in the month of November and some way or another proceeds go to charity. Can't say I have done it but you can use it as an excuse to grow one cause its for the kids : D November is round the corner!
I've just finished recording this weekend and unintentionally got a very Jimmy Page type lead sound using the Pharaoh on Ge, 70's Marshall and a Tele. I'm very glad I've picked one up.
There's such a Black Sabbath-like sound to his playing at the beginning. Nice touch with some Pink Floyd right after that. I wish I was good enough to play like him so I could get a kick-ass job like that.
@artgonewrong not really haha especially with how much stuff is in it ... two sets of diodes.... a poop load of other components. If you ever tried building a pedal clone out of scratch... especially complicated ones... the Hamiltons stack up.
@artgonewrong It's not outside the range of really good ones... Both the Blackout Effectors Musket and EarthQuaker Devices Hoof are in this range... I suppose if all you want is a simple Muff, than maybe it is a bit much.
That said, I really like what I hear, and it doesn't look terribly complicated either! :) Diggin' the Sabbath Andy!
@ProGuitarShopDemos ooooh, okay. I never had seen it before :O Must not've popped up in my sub box :( Ah well, gibsons are great guitars, didn't mean to come off as someone who was bashing them :D
@ProGuitarShopDemos Right? Someone said that a few videos ago, too! You guys have always used Gibsons, as well as a variety of guitars to cover all bases. Noobs! ;)
@ProGuitarShopDemos Are the guitars you guys use for demos Andy's (or anyone else's) personal guitars? Or are they just guitars you have around the shop specifically for demos?
@peeblesj1131 - Andy will sometimes bring in a personal guitar for a demo, but the guitars that you see in most of the videos (G&L Legacy, Gibson LP, Butterscotch Tele, Hagstrom Swede) are shop axes specifically for demo shoots. Thanks!
@ProGuitarShopDemos why that one? It is the same one over and over LOL you must like it. Plus you always use the same awesome butterscotch tele.... I want one!!!!
@MigelMeUp Funny. I remember chacking out PGS since they had only 10 videos or so, dunno what year was that... and how they used a G&L Legacy for mostly every demo.
@iagobroxado Yeah that's the same way I saw it, it was always a fender of sorts, G&L, or some other boutique guitar iff that's what they were going for. :P
@MigelMeUp Yeah, Andy plays a Less Paul a lot! I guess he doesn't usually show it... but he plays it in almost every video... (at least that I have seen)
If you wanna spring for a good quality fuzz, don't go for boss. They'e fuzz box is very low quality, and does not sound too good. If your looking for a more modern fuzz, go for the big muff. For a more classic fuzz, I would go for a fuzz face. I haven't tried the swollen pickle, so I can't comment on that. Hope this helped.
Within the first few minutes of it being dislked, theres one comment and 48 views but somehow someone DISLIKED IT? BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN HAVE TIME TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING?!
