The guitar is out of tune. There, I said it. Also - and I can’t believe I actually have to say this - this video is not meant to be taken seriously at all. IT’S A JOKE. Deal with it fanboys!
Nope it’s out of tune
czcams.com/video/Daw93bRHe4Y/video.html
Can’t decide if that’s worse or not.
I’m sorry, did you say something?
You think this is a review? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well he also hates tuners, so I'd say we're in good company.
I was wondering when you might chime in! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
🤣🤣🤣
This isn’t exactly a review dude. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s an awful lot of BUTT-HURT over a tuning issue. Or could it be something else? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's because he only needs the 3 lowest strings for what he's playing. Probably forgot that those other three strings need to be tuned too.
*turns gate all the way up*
Why is it cutting off my sustain?!
Cancel culture!
This is more like a great demo for why I love this pedal so much
More for you!
So I get not only a fuzz pedal, but a synthy fuzzy pitch shifter AND it comes with a built in radio? Score.
As a noise artist, thank you for pointing me to my favorite pedal!
You’re welcome! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ahh, my favourite fuzz of all time! :) I love this thing! :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
so do i
Franta je teplý.
You miss the whole point of this pedal, and fuzz in general.
Actually, I’m pretty sure YOU miss the whole point of this video.

That is the funniest comment I've ever seen on a pedal review. 🍯🍯🍯
Got it yesterday and I LOVE IT!! The only question is how to change radio station 🤔
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I vaguely remember mine once picking up a french radio station 😂
Adding a wan pedal definitely helps! Lol
Tune your guitar.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way there sweat was glistening on your hand while you were turning the knobs made it look like you were clearly in distress 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Proper title: "dumb boomer gets confused as to why he can't play 80s metal on a zvex fuzz factory pedal he doesn't even know how to use".
You forgot to say that he also can't play guitar.
@Eran Montiel You triggered, snowflake? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RobertWJackson ok boomer
Wrong again! I’m a Gen-X’er. But the Fuzz Factory is still garbage. 🤷🏻♂️
@@RobertWJackson whatever you say... b o o m e r👌
I can see why some people may not dig this pedal. It isn't a straight up "plug N play" pedal. However, when you understand how the controls work, you can be rewarded with some excellent tones. You just have to be patient with it and learn it's ins and outs. I'm working on a video to help new owners of the Fuzz Factory get the best out of it. I love mine and think it's the coolest thing ever. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers
Absolutely well said. I have one of the hand painted ones and it does take some tweaking. Humbuckers will respond way differently than single coils. I've noticed texas specials and seymour hot rails pickups play nicely with this. I've gotten some fantastic lead sounds paired with an Abominable electronics Haunting Pools. The fuzz factory is one of those pedal that's stayed on my board AFTER I unlocked its potential :)
Where is the video??
You keep using that word "doom." I do not think it means what you think it means
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ah, it´s not the fuzz factory the one turning your amp into a radio. It´s your guitar, that acts as an antenna. The fuzz factory is merely adding A LOT of gain, so now you can hear your favorite radio station when you don´t play. According to Apple, this would be feature.
I’ll take it off your hands for free + shipping.
Yeah, I’ll work on that.
i would to!
1:47 lololol my wife was screaming at me, "what are you doing in there, are you okay?" lol

@@BIBSTERSrepairshop My girlfriend thought it was the end of the world 😂
Ok, so yesterday I finally understood how to use the pedal and I think the biggest hurdle people need to get over is the fact that, I order to get decent settings, you can't just move the knobs independently. Here's my quick tutorial for the pedal.
"normal fuzz settings"
- Turn down gate and comp to minimum. Turn up stab to maximum. Only mess with vol and drive.
"gated/underpowered fuzz"
- Start turning down stab. Compensate with gate if self oscillation appears.
"blown guitar signal"
- Start turning up comp. Compensate with gate if self oscillation appears.
Anytime there's self oscillation in the signal, try messing with the gate, comp and stab settings. They're all interconnected, so if you mess with one and want to avoid noise, you'll probably need to mess with at least one of the other two to make it go away. Or just keep the noise! There are no rules!
And that's it. Now take these guidelines mix, match and have fun!
Moist.
I love the built in radio option.
Right??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's handy in case of nuclear attack or natural disaster
I have the same issue with the LoFi Junky, but I love that pedal.
LOL I hear that too 😂😂😂
3:04 sounds like Matt Bellamy teasing fans before playing Plug In Baby riff lol
Because that is what is what he uses
Thought I was the only one hearing that😂 came to see if there was anyone else hearing that but yeah he uses this a lot
for me its the best fuzz pedal ever invented, loud and you can dial in any kind of fuzztone, the oscillations tones are great too , and you can listen to radio moscow for free as well, its just goddamn awesome. this guy should stick to a i dont know, but this is not for him, but a nice vid that would consider buying one, if i didnt own one already. cheers!
Nope. The Muff Germanium 4 bests it... But the Fuzz-Factory is nicer at making weird noises... Except that if you have serious Moog and EHX gear, you can do better weird noises
Hell yea! It self-oscillates?! SOLD!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I genuinely love ear-splitting self-oscillation. I spent this video in awe and rapture. can't wait to hear what this sounds like with a shaker box going into it
This is my all time favorite pedal. It's one that's really complicated to learn. But after a couple years I finally know this pedal like the back of my hand.
If it takes a couple of years to know a pedal with five knobs, its a turd. It is called a turd.
@@brianmcfly1210 that’s the kind of statement that kills creativity
When I got this pedal I honestly thought it was broken.
RIGHT?!?!?
This is my favourite pedal of all time. It does sound like absolute shit sometimes in bad settings, but you just need some good settings and to tune your guitar. Try again with some settings people gave from forums. It takes some getting used to but once you understand how the pedal works it’s easy to steer clear from awful settings.
I didn't know the Fuzz Factory one month ago. I discovered the pedal in your video and watched others, then I really thought I should have one ! Instead of buying one I decided to build one using 2 germanium AC125 NOS transistors, it took me 3 days. I added 2 controls to the existing 5 ones to get even more new sounds. My first DIY pedal. My BEST FUZZ pedal EVER ! I almost haven't stopped playing it for the last 4 days ! And I own tons of pedals, many EHX including the tube version Hot Tubes and the vintage one, Ibanez TS, a rare vintage Top Gear Fuzz, Beetronics, Sansamp, Digitech, Big Muff's, silicon, op amp and Jfet fuzz... Thank YOU SO MUCH for this video, crazy to think I discovered in 2021 a pedal invented in 1995 using 1950's technology ! -Still understand why you don't like it it's your best pedal ! ;-) La meilleure pédale fuzz au monde !
Actually, the Fuzz-Factory is a Fuzz-Face with more knobs. You can even make the IdontGiveAFuck (IDGAF) Factory by EatYourGuitar which has 8 knobs...
I have an original Fuzz Factory for about 10 years, to be frank, it's nice to make weird noises, BUT :
1.) Too many possibilities => we'd need Medea, Vintage Solutions or maybe TC to make a programmable version of the IDGAF (rather than the FF)
2.) Pots are too reactive. 5 turns multiturn pots would be needed for all the over-reacting commands.
3.) One of the very few REALLY USEFUL ways to tune it is as a Fuzz-Face... I think that you can get a MusikDing Fuzz Face '69er (4 knobs, Fulltone mod?) as a kit for about €25... Might be way more useful, so is it for the Aion DSOTM : a Si-FuzzFace with 3 knobs (Cornish mod?). The fact is that the Fuzz-Factory is too unmanageable except at being a weird-noise box.
4.) Actually, if you're into pot-twindling, the EHX Germanium 4 Muff is WAY MORE USEFUL : you'll be able to replicate near all germanium fuzz ever made and do more, thus, I'd like to have a programmable BMGe4 too, but because it has so many sweet spots possible that the BMGe4 can have at least 64 presets you will love to use, while, for the Fuzz-Factory, memories would help saving the few nice one you'll find and recall the Fuzz-Face when not doing weird noises.
So... "La meilleure pédale fuzz au monde !"... Oui, mais pour la Muff Germanium4...
And I own both (the originals, not copies) for 10+ years now... But I think I'm gonna sell the Fuzz-Factory : I can also do weird noises with my MoogerFooger collection (all models, and MF-104Z delay is doubled), at least I can control these using MIDI-CC through the Doepfer MCV24...
I'm also considering selling all my vintage pedals since prices are sky-rocketing and I can replicate them and, moreover, put 'em all into 19x14" 1U rack enclosures. Maybe will I build the IDGAF and include it...
I also highly consider the re-casing of the Foogers: I have enough of having a pedalboard larger than Frusciante's...
That's the whole point it's completely ridiculous
Correct!
You didn't watch until the end...he knows this...
I see it has a built in theramin, if I'm spelling that right.
It sounds fantastic.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have to know how to use these..plus this doesn't look like a guy that likes Fuzzes.. more like a boss metal zone and pointy guitar kind of guy!!!
Yeah man it's a science, ya gotta understand how those knobs work in tandom and shape your tone in a very unusual way, but if u work with it, it rewards you, I have the best fuzz tone ive ever had on my board bc i took a few bong rips and dove head first into this thang thang
🤦🏻♂️
@John Martin Cantorne It's a fuzz face. There are tons of usable tones in it. Try using the knobs on the guitar, too.
He really couldn’t cut it in that world either. Anyone with 9 weeks experience and a healthy understanding of the very, extremely basic E minor pentatonic box pattern at the 12th fret can do a video. What a waste of time.
Yet you keep commenting on it and helping to boost my analytics! Thanks man! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just had mine delivered, hand painted year 2012 made, plugged in and pretty much had the same experience.... so I definitely see the humor in your vid. However, this wild beast can also create some of the finest sounds a fuzz pedal can produce but you have to really get to know it and be patient. I love the glitchyness, I like being challenged and offered opportunities to be creative and Zvex FF offers that. Its not for everyone and to me, that's great, some people just want to plug in their fuzz face and Hendrix the days away, let them go I say! I want to grab a pedal and think to myself holy crap, what am I going to create with this thing, and not think, jeez I frickin sound just like that old so and so from yesteryear! But, definitely a funny take on the FF but only if you have the privilege of owning one, an "in joke" so to speak. BTW, you almost ruined Cherub Rock for all of us and that definitely is not funny. Keep at it and please start listening to better radio stations!
I think it's a marmite situation? You either like Fuzz or you don't...! I think it is a pretty good pedal.... But, my Wampler Velvet Fuzz sounds a lot more defining & edgier! Nice guitar by the way Robert....!
Probably my favorite fuzz pedal. The band Boris often put this thing to great use.
2:40 sounded crazy good to my ears.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bought it in the early 2000's, thought it was awful but tried to like it because of how much it costed. Took a while to admit that I hated it, but finally sold it. ZVEX Box of rock is ok, but not the best Marshall in a can by any stretch.
You're right man, people like their music clean, predictable and easy-going.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now I know what I am playing for background music next Halloween
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is one of my favorite pedals, it is built in to one of Matt Bellamy's guitars from Muse and can get some really cool effects.
yeeeees the best guitarist for me
It's built into quite a lot of his guitars. People mainly know the use of Fuzz Factory in plug in baby but it's also used in the whammy part of Knights of Cydonia as well as many other snippets
Sold! Now I definitely need one of these.
At 4:12, my dog awoke and commenced barking.
I like it, BUT I don't like its lack of low end at most settings
I love how you were surprised when it squealed when you turned down the stability, what did you think would happen? Also, why would you expect sustain on a gated fuzz setting?
I can understand why you hate it, I hated mine for years, it is the most complicated pedal I have ever used... but it can get great sounds if you play around with it for a while (it is still not my favorite, but I do find it useful enough to keep around).
I compare the Fuzz Factory to a puppy, in the sense that if you cant take the time to spend with it and get to know it, you probably shouldn't get one.
You understand the definition of the term “parody”, correct?
@@RobertWJackson …is the video a joke then? so much toxicity in the comments and you really didn’t think it was important to mention that somewhere??????
@@t_failz Let me make sure I understand you correctly. You watched this video, and didn’t even have an INKLING of an idea that it’s not meant to be taken even remotely seriously, stupid antics and on-screen captions and all, and somehow I’m supposed to be talked down to because you and others are actually THAT stupid that you need to have it spelled out for you? That sounds pretty close to what you’re trying to say to me. 🤦🏻♂️
You just gotta turn up the stab knob, tweak the gate and there you go!
I just watched this video and when you were making those cat comments, I swear the dog next door started growling and barking through my fence. The funniest response ever to a guitar effects pedal video. I am still laughing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
5 years later, this video is still hilarious!
You should do a new video of running it into the effects return before that darn Swedish guy does it first. 😉
The fax machine being bludgeoned to death by a dial-up modem part had me laughing so hard
I imagine the Mad Professor Golden Cello and Laney Linebacker sounding like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, I actually got mine because of the tone I get. It's a fuzz, yes, but with enough mid range to cut through the mix. Yes, you can get a lot of funny, boring, or useless sounds out of it. You can get creative and make magic but I sincerely don't have the time to experiment AND play, so I leave it at the setting I like and save the awkward stuff for an alternate future where I don't have to work 10 hours a day.
great video Robert. :) I think that all those noises
that the fuzz factory produces are intentional... definitely not for everyone. :)
I'm currently building some fuzz pedals and that demo just showed me what not to build.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its a great pedal to build lol..if you build pedals and love fuzzes its hard for it not to capture you imagination.. also you do know that is a glorified face with a booster stage and pots for biasing?!
I totally understand personally I hate Marshall amps. The reason is simply cuz I can't get a good sound out of them when I play them. I do love hearing other people use them though.
My favorite pedal! Check out the guitar tracks for “Knights of Cydonia”
You can also listen to your local radio station, for free, after you pawned your hifi-system to buy the pedal... win win.
I was laughing my ass off at your video, especially at the beginning
Good, glad you enjoyed it! It’s SUPPOSED to be funny. But so many Zvex fanboys act like I ran down their dog with my car. Glad you can take a joke!
John Frusciante used this one on Shadows Collide With People, now this makes sense
I’m not familiar with the song.
Robert's Guitar Dungeon Its an album, one of the finest Frusciante’s works as a soloist.
I think you could poke holes in your speaker and it would sound better then that petal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for blowing out my last eardrum buddy,!LOL.You can get some crazy sounds out of most fuzz effects,just by themselves.👍 Funny stuff.👍😎✌🎸🎵And Happy Thanksgiving to you and all.😎🍗
You’re welcome! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RobertWJackson Try it thru a wah and bet you"ll sound like Jimi.🎸😎👍✌
I brought this pedal second hand, thought there was something wrong with it. As Zvex sneakly don't show this on their videos. So thanks for this. It all about the gate / stab and comp settings. Good pedal but a bit niche and awfully noisy
That first riff you played sounds awesome!!! WHat is it?
Smashing Pumpkins. Cherub Rock, I think.
@@RobertWJackson COuld you subscribe to me????
THanks for telling me!!!
My pleasure.
To each there own, I actually dig the tone a lot
A guy at Guitar Center tried to sell me one of these instead of the Fulltone Soul Bender I was looking at.... Glad I bought the Soul Bender!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Friends don’t let friends piss away their money on the Fuzz Factory! 🤣🤣🤣
Because you would rather sound like Jimmy Page!!! I agree! (Huge Zepplin Fan!)
Now i’m gonna buy this pedal coz even out-of-tune guitar it’s still sound good.
k
Matt Bellamy right there lmao. This pedal is a very confusing box of tricks but it does have treasure. Z Vex do make some really nice pedals such as the Woolly Mammoth (yes I'm a bass player) but this pedal is a bit too powerful lmao. When it's on low settings the fuzz is actually quite nice but that is some power.
You to good of an actor, no one could tell it was plain as day mockery. It's creative and corny yet humerus and entraining. Unfortunately your veiwers didn't know it was a spoof. Yikes
Awesome review. I bought one on the strength of your comments!
Awesome man! Hope you enjoy it! 🤣🤣🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I am very surprised Zoey didn't start baying at the moon....that is an excellent transistor radio...or spying device
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's baying at the moon
The only crime committed here was it didn't tune into WXRT 93.1FM lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to get radio signals through my amp. But with the Planet Waves/ D'Addario cables, there's one shielded end that should go into the amp and that will go away. Maybe you know this, maybe you don't. Maybe you just did it for the memes. :P
Good to know mine is working properly. Thx
k
:D my favorite dirt pedal on my board! Its ok if you hate it. it doesnt change anyone whose heard it opinion. its not an outspoken bunch of folks who dislike it (probably cause people lose their shit over saying anything bad) but there are plenty of people who dont see how this is a fully priced much beloved pedal. Everyones got their opinion. im glad youre voicing yours. Its really hard to buy gear online cause of how all the reviews are not really reviews but advertisements. hearing from the people who honestly dont like it is usually more informative, even if i do end up liking it cause it matches my style. keep up the good work sir. i salute you. by the way, you look like youre having fun there a little to me.
Thanks man! Yes, I do try to be honest in my videos regarding opinions. Admittedly this one was a little over the top and was really meant for a laugh, if nothing else. The Fuzz Factory isn’t for me, but I do recognize that it’s a very popular pedal, despite my opinion of it. Glad you enjoyed it!
I owned a fat fuzz factory and taken it on many a gig and a couple tours, love it to death and recommend it to every guitarist I know as the most versatile and tuneable fuzz ever.
That being said, this made me die laughing because I have seen friends who prefer a plug-n-play option like a fuzzaface test out my fuzz factory during a jam and been completely baffled. I totally get it.
A helpful tip, Robert. This is a fuzz you have to sit down with a cup of coffee for a couple hours and get to know. Once you learn what each knob does, it is mind-blowingly epic in scope and superlative in tone. I really think you'll love it.
I know how it all works, and I get why it’s popular, but it’s not for me. This entire video is meant to be a joke and NOT meant to be taken seriously at all. It blows my mind how many people have taken this video seriously. I even received death threats over it. LOL
Dude you need to stick with the metal zone, death metal pedals. but watching your face playing through this pedal is worth it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, if someone told me that this pedal made my guitar sound like a 22 year old cat getting raped by a gorilla then it would make me MORE LIKELY to buy the pedal.
k
Awesome! I'm sold, going to go buy one now. For real.
Awesome man! I hope you enjoy it!
Robert's Guitar Dungeon just teasing, I already have one and love it. you’re awesome though, that’s no sarcasm. good sport.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Every sound you got in this video was excellent. I'm definitely going to buy this pedal now. Thanks for the recommendation!
Awesome man, I hope you enjoy it! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I just had to watch this again. My cat now hates me and you. So, question, is it possible that you just got a defective one? I think another video with a different one is in order, just to verify that you didn't get a bad one. I'm still laughing.
This pedal is awesome and a bit of a meme. Definitely adds some personality to your board. Love the custom artwork on some of them. Sounds great when you know how to dial in your tone. And yes, its heavy as fuck LOL
Très belle pédale, joli son de fuzz typique des transistors au germanium avec possibilité de surcharge extrême. It would be interesting to connect one or two controls to an expression pedal for foot controlled oscillations. I was listening to videos from the Chase Bliss & ZVEX The Bliss Factory which is a 600€ pedal that I don't like at all but I discovered this one and like it very much. As the schematic diagram is quite simple and easy to find I think I'll build one by myself with a customised output for an expression pedal.
I love this pedal and I love this video. I've also picked up radio stations through my Digitech Whammy, too, and that pedal seems to have a similar love/hate relationship. Maybe there's a correlation.
It was some AM broadcast of a church service.
Maybe matt bellamy just loves to listen to the radio?
It's a metal Muff blended with some Korg's Mikku pedal
I bet you'll try that combination
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol , elbows up , make the face 😂 looked like someone slammed the piano lid down on your fingers 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man can people not take a joke! This video is a joke! Come on people! It obviously was supposed to be that way. This fuzz has many usable great tones, but also many very very horrible ones as well. I kinda want to build this thing. I got enough time on my hands to mess with it! I love that such a simple pedal can make ridiculous noises! It obviously is not for this guy and I understand. Some people don't have time to mess with a pedal to sound good! By the way, Robert, check out Earthquaker Devices. Their acapulo gold pedal is amazing, and it's controls are so simple it is refreshing. Really! And it sounds amazing!
I have a clone of the Acapulco Gold from Park’s Custom Pedals called the Elder distortion. It’s interesting. A little goes a long way. LOL
@@RobertWJackson yeah definitely. I built one from scratch!
Love this video, that said I still want to experiment with this pedal. I use to hate fuzz pedals, but have been dabbling in the recently. From what I can see, this is almost a crescent wrench type fuzz that can do a lot of things... many that we'd find unusable. Check Devi Ever for even less usable fuzz pedals.
Less usable than the Fuzz Factory? I didn’t know that was even a possibility! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like Kyuss on an Atari 2600
RIGHT???
Do you like philly cheeseteaks?
k
Might want to tune your guitar before recording videos
Exactly.. sounds out
This video is the reason WHY I bought the Fuzz Factory in the first please lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People hate me for it, but I’d be willing to bet I’ve sold a shitload of Fuzz Factory pedals for Zvex. LOL
No, no, Robert. That didn't sound anything like a cat or gorilla doing... something... at least to my ears. It sounded more like some weird f-1 engine speeding off... except it wasn't revving correctly. I don't know. I actually don't get the hate behind this video. I thought it was hilarious. Have a great day, Robert.
My regular viewers who know me and are familiar with my sense of humor get it. Snowflakes who can’t take a joke send me death threats over it. LOL
I had to come here to make sure this was a joke
You're making me want this pedal more and more!!
That’s what I keep trying to tell Zachary Vex! He’s still pissed at me, though. LOL
@@RobertWJackson I’m just a huge psychedelic rock fan and this sounds like it would be a great choice for that. The ultimate tone I’m trying to chase is Carlos Santana’s 1973 tone.
Why is everyone mad. I don't need to agree with his opinion to say I'm glad he has it and shared it. Too many CZcams guitar videos are pure advertising. This guy finds a pedal he didn't like and told us he didn't like it. I applaud him for his honesty.
Thank you sir! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
So when are you going to to a video of the fuzz factory 7?
The next time I get trolled by Zachary Vex. This video was made as a joke just to piss off his fanboys. LOL
Robert's Guitar Dungeon I wasn’t trolling I was being sincere, I like your demos and I got the joke
Robert's Guitar Dungeon oh I read that wrong my bad
I know you weren’t trolling. Maybe I will demo the Fuzz Factory 7 one of these days. (Is it new? I’m not even familiar with it.) Now, whether I take it seriously or if I decide to make a mockery of it, that remains to be seen. LOL
It’s been around a good while, i really like the Russian germanium transistor one they did, you can get a lot of different tones out of it.
Omg! I just played this vid in the background and my border collie jumped up and started running around looking for someone to save! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes its out of tune
Yes its a joke
But damn I found that fun
- a fanboy of that pedal
Dude, I laughed so hard my sides was hurting. This is your funniest video! And you was getting down at this part: 6:20
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still like The Heavy Metal Kazoo and The Heavy Metal Slide Whistle myself, but those two videos never really took off, unfortunately. LOL
I bet the band “Highly suspect” the song “my name is human” they’re using a Zvex Fuzz factory. And yes, yes I love the heavy-metal kazoo video. I liked it so much I seen they sold kazoo’s at musicians friend and bought one, because you were making that thing sound good even though it was a comedy. 👍🏻
No I was wrong Equipment Board says Jonny Stevens of highly suspect uses the Boss BD-2 and Eventide H9 Harmonizer Pedal with the iconic Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker Switch. Oh well I don’t know? don’t get me wrong that’s the only song I like by those guys. Metallica rules I’m a Gen X also 48 years old And the other day my 15-year-old daughter said OK Boomer dad and I thought wait a minute where have a heard that? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😆😆🤣😂 🤘🏼WTF?!?! And yes to answer your question from that last video I would love to see a studio tour of yours it’s always interesting checking out gear!
That would be a great pedal for communicating with an alien race from another galaxy. LMAO Don't feel bad Robert... It's the pedal. The Box Of Metal is not much better. I could only find 1 setting that sounds halfway playable.
Hi, should this fuzz pedal be used with a clean or distorted amp?
You must be new here. LOL
That sucker has a mind of it's own! This is a classic, Robert! Did you ever figure out what radio station was coming out of the box? Sounded like a bad NASA recording! 😂😂😂😂😂 That thing sux
Nope, never did. But samuraiguitarist was getting Omaha election coverage coming through one of his pedals. He lives in Canada, by the way. LOL
If you play a piezo pickup through this thing it sounds like shards of glass
ANY pickup through this thing sounds like shards of glass. LOL
I can't turn my volume down low enough to actually listen to it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That really bit the big one. You can sell it sell it as a radio that picks up space chatter amongst the 👽. Also hilarious. Excellent guitar coupled with substandard crap! Does it come with a hammer for fine tuning? Truly classic as usual Robert!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
