rockabilly69 Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 (edited) Thanks Chris, it’s a fun little pedal. It definitely brings out the rrock ‘n’ roll roller in ya when you plug it in Edited January 7 by rockabilly69
bolero Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) Does that have a variable sun knob on it? It's for biasing the transistor isn't it? If so do you use it much? Edited January 9 by bolero can't spell

Not this one Goon, this one is fixed bias. I have used the sun faces with the sun bias knob and they are pretty cool if you really want the thing to spit, but I don’t really go to that dirty so it wouldn’t be as useful to me 1
bolero Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Ah, ok, interesting! I don't like that name no more. My new name is Rocky.

bolero Posted January 10 Posted January 10 The rabbit approves of fuzz. Especially in the winter. Temps have dropped.
bolero Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Unlike these rabbits! The bunny museum in LA has burned The burnt-to-a-crisp kind of brown bunny: Terrible what's going on in LA! Can't imagine what else has been destroyed.

With the with the devastion in North Carolina and Florida, this just adds up to a bad run of natural disasters. My heart goes out to all of the people that have to go through this suffering. 2

rockabilly69 Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 New version of this song which will be more of the template of how my band will play it. The licks will be played exactly like this, which I think showcases the SUNFACE a bit better with it's vocal tones. And it's not just a Sunface to get the vowel tones, there's also a Origin Effects M-EQ Mid Driver that brings out that quality...

I'd play the riff a couple times before everything comes in though: there's no context/setup & everything just slams upfront. But maybe you want to do that

But maybe you want to do that THat's EXACTLY what I want to do, as the song is going to open up a set. 4 clicks of the drum sticks and boom, there it is 2
tbonesullivan Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Honestly, I've never quite been able to wrap my head around fuzz pedals. So many players for decades have used them to make great music and sounds, but I often find them just too rough / raw when compared to an overdrive or distortion pedal. This stuff sounds great though, so maybe I'll have to play with my OD-20 a bit more on the fuzz models to see if I can get something I like.

This stuff sounds great though, so maybe I'll have to play with my OD-20 a bit more on the fuzz models to see if I can get something I like. I'm with you there, I've had more bad experiences with them than not. But my buddy Ryan, the other guitarist in my band, has using fuzz pedals down to an art form, and he really wanted to get me on board, so he gave me the Sunface. There is some tricks to getting the best out of them, and the most important of those tricks is to where they go in the order of pedals, first is best. Fuzz pedals are very interactive with the volume and tone controls on your guitar. And, a good fuzz cleans up beautifully when you back up the volume. Hendrix did that quite a bit, and was a big part of his clean tone. There is another thing about fuzz pedals, germanium transistors generally have a more organic squisher tone (like a sag on a tube rectified amp), that sounds great, but they are very unstable and can change tone mid gig as they warm up. Silicone ones (like the one I am using), are very stable, but to me lose a bit of the magic as a tradeoff. I just bought a germanium one just for recording. This is the actual pedal in the video, and the one I bought, it is supposed to be the most stable of the germanium based fuzzes. https://www.buyanalogman.com/Analog_Man_Sun_Face_p/am-sun-face-readylgrca.htm Edited January 14 by rockabilly69
