Gianluca Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Hi All, I'm scared of telling you all how many ODs I own, I really have a thing with them. More than Fuzzes but some Fuzz pedals I had to have. I prefer Germanium transistors, either ODs or Fuzzes but I couldn't miss this one. I think it's one of the best fuzz-for-price as new out here. Very kind of them shipping with a ready to use 9V battery. This thing goes from boost, to OD, to Fuzz to (s)cream. I am really enjoying it. PS sorry for the not so good picture (from the phone), I had to start playing it ?

Gianluca Posted April 4, 2022 Author Posted April 4, 2022 not sure of what any of that generation would play today surely they didn't left us much to discover ? I prefer the GE based transistors but this one is a nice SI based transistors without spending a fortune on the used market looks like they go for almost the double of the new (which I think it's crazy)
Gianluca Posted April 4, 2022 Author Posted April 4, 2022 a quick audio test using my voice recorder on a Samsung A5 Used: Head: VHT 6w, tube Torpedo Captorx as attenuator (full) Line6 25w Cabinet (12" Celestion) closed back JP White Telecaster at neck PU, all open FZ-1w: Level at 3 o'clock, Fuzz at 11 o'clock, Tone at 2:30, Mode M a simple stupid noodling impro in Am TeleNeckAllOpen-FZ-1w_Mmode_20220404.ogg
bolero Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 Neat! I have an old Si fuzz face, and a Throbak germanium fuzz. And a Fulltone ultimate octave, which includes a fuzz. Plus some NOS germanium transistors in a bag somewhere, if I ever get around to building a clone
Gianluca Posted April 7, 2022 Author Posted April 7, 2022 interesting, share a audio clip? ? that Si fuzz face, if all original parts, could be interesting as the NOS transistors

bolero Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 To be honest, I haven't used them in ages! I liked them both though. Especially how they interacted with a cranked amp & gtr volume manipulation
Standbyoperator Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Cool pedal man! I have been low key looking for a new fuzz pedal even though I don’t use them a ton. I have a full tone 69 fuzz which I like but is a bit of a pain because it’s that germanium thing where you can’t just plug in an adapter, so I use a 9V battery but sometimes I forget to unplug it and the battery dies. anyway thanks for sharing I’m gonna check this one out!
Gianluca Posted April 9, 2022 Author Posted April 9, 2022 welcome, I am trying some rechargeable 9V batteries Energizer 9v HR22 175mAh (NiMH) - on a GE OC-44 based Italian made boost and I'm very satisfied, standard recharge unit DoublePow 650mAh Lithium 9V USB Rechargeable - not tested yet I think rechargeable is the way, honestly the alkaline in the FZ-1w is exceptional official product launch video from Boss: all true
