Demo Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz

Hi, i made this little demo with my new pedal. A roger Mayer Axis Fuzz.

I plugged my Fender Stratocaster Vintage reissue 62 in my Fender Blues junior amp.

I doesn't like very much huge distortion, but i'm a big Hendrix Fan.
And this is my first Fuzz i bought.

Promise, i made a new blues impro soon. ;)
Merry Christmas to all !

Joyeux noel à tous et bonnes fêtes !!! ;)

this pedal sound good on riffs and solos, amazing.. but i really disliked the sound during the purple haze chords.. not defined enough.. too wishy washy.. strange.. all the other stuff sounded fantastic. do you have any idea?

[Kassad62]

Maybe because it's not the kind of fuzz used for Purple Haze. ;)

[Euphoriaman]

is this a silicon pedal? cant remeber, but i do remeber that silicon fuzz pedals have a whole lot more fuzz.

[Kassad62]

Yep, it's not a germanium. Different tone.

Purple Haze was recorded with a germanium fuzz. ;)

Are those useless comments really necessary ;-)))

Great demo. This things sounds so much better than my Big Muff Pi.

's silicon@Kassad62

In defense of silicon-

Allot of cork sniffers won't touch silcon,they prefer germanium ..I built a germanium FF and altho it's smoother than my silicon the silicon sounds crazy when played *on top of tube distortion*.I set the fuzz low,boost the output and drive the tubes harder.It sags,morphs,ripples,snarls and sings..,the chords are undefined but are morphing and wild sounding,I prefer it to germanium ,which is too polite.

:-) you look like you like what you're doin ...

[thomasjeeh]

actually, roger mayer actually built this thing for jimi hendrix. the circuit is a modified dallas arbiter fuzz face, which jimi used too of course

[cousinbros]

thumbs up if you think hendrix never really uses his fuzz as muddy as this guy plays(like voodoo child) it. jimi's fuzz is more rich, sustaining, it's great. i know you oubviously cant get a vintage tone out of a pedal not made this decade. just lay off the fuzz. thumbs up if u agree .

@astro2069 Exactly what I mean. I have to work my way around this pedal. Turn the fuzz on and roll off the Treble of the amp right? Live you do not have the time.... obviously. Roger Mayer also claims this fuzz was used by Hendrix, or the circuitry at least. MAYBE he used it once or twice, but if you think you're buying the BOG sound think twice. That was a 100% '69 silicon fuzz. I might sound harsh about this pedal. Again just my experience. So if it works for your setup it's all good. :)

@razorette1 Try playing it on the neck pickup. A good EQ and using the neck pickup should get rid of that ice pick edge . . .

[razorette1]

I have one. Whenever played loud it has an aweful Ice Picking sound. Thought it was mine until I heard this band playing live and immediately recognized the axis fuzz. I'd stay away frm this one.
