Danelectro 3699 fUZZ pedal - a classic fuzz is back!

  • čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
  • New for 2020! Danelectro's president, Steve Ridinger, got his start in the 70's by manufacturing the fOXX Tone Machine, the now coveted octave fuzz sound used by players like Peter Frampton, Adrian Belew, and Beck. The 3699 fUZZ is a faithful recreation, and a tribute ("3699" spells out "FOXX" on the telephone keypad, and that was the last 4 digits of the company phone number back in the day)
    More details coming soon...

    Good one, brother! I remember lusting after a FOXX SuperFuzz in '72 (when I was 12 lol). Their whole line at the time used colored-fuzzy exteriors, and foot-pedal 'wah'-unit chassis. Ended up with a one-knob EHX 'MuffFuzz' I still have and use (velcro'd to a Flying Vee Jr.). Great demo, as usual........

    Good bit of squelch and the mid boost tones it down a bit! Love the ripping Velcro sounds with the tone knob to the left it’s beefy too. Only slightly prefer the MXR la Machine feels like there is a good bit more bass in that circuit! Great review man!

  • @markhammer643
    @markhammer643 Před 4 lety

    I've built or owned clones or commercial pedals of at least 8-10 octave-up fuzzes - Tychobrahe, Mayer Octavia, Ringer, Superfuzz + derivatives, Scrambler, Kay, and others. And while the all have a certain unique charm, the Tone Machine remains my favorite, because it has the most robust and reliable octave. You never have to fight to get it.; it's just there. Of course, like ALL octave-up fuzzes, the octave is strongest when using the neck pickup with the tone rolled back, and fretting higher up the neck (though I've found a few tricks to get decent octaves from the 4th fret and up). BUT, like all octave fuzzes, if you pick close to the bridge, using the bridge pickup, with the drive rolled back a bit, you can also get a great mimic of a Coral Electric Sitar!

      Soo good. I own a couple of Foxx clones, but reckon this guy trumps them all. Great demo!

    Do you know if these were built with analog through hole or are they surface mount components? Or if anyone knows. Just curious. Sounds great though!

    The octave part of this kinda sucks tbh... But I LOVE the new DanElectro Back Talk pedal.. idk if you've reviewed it yet, but you should.. very nice hendrix stuff with it.

    Sounds like they got it right this time. That damn french toast was horrible unless you ran it through an analog 4 track to saturate the syrup

      i have a french toast. really the only thing wrong with it is they forgot to put an LED in it for some reason lol. this is a serious upgrade tho.

      @@kewlbns69 I've built a few Tone Machine clones to original specs, and also own a French Toast. The French Toast is an *excellent* and accurate repro of the original. What it lacks, however, that the 3699 provides, is a footswitch for the octave, instead of a toggle, which is a nice convenience. Now, whether one's aim is accurate enough to hit the stompswitch without accidentally hitting bypass is a whole other can of beans. As well, I gather the 3699 uses true bypass switching (though appearances can be deceiving), instead of e-switching like the Toast. Meh, they both have their advantages and shortcomings.
      All of that said, as per usual, RJ shows the pedal's capabilities off quite nicely. He makes everything sound good.

      @@markhammer643 true bypass is a gimmick. which is why everybody went out and bought buffer pedals last year lol. the reason the french toast is accurate is probably because the guy that built the original foxx tone machine, bought/owned danelectro and decided to re-release it under the dano brand. there's a lotta kewl "upgrades" in this thing but i'm not completely sure it's worth 8x the price lol. hey while you're here...any idea how to put a freakin LED in this thing? hahaha!

      @@kewlbns69 TB was a response to the use of SPDT pedals of the past that would load down the signal like crazy. And, as a guy who makes pretty much all my own pedals for the past 40 years, I have to say I appreciate the ease of using 3PDT stompswitches, and tip my hat to Mike Fuller for getting their mass production started (he's the guy responsible). I *could* buy DPDT stompswitches 30 years ago, but they would cost $20, were bulky, and still couldn't provide indicator LED illumination. That didn't matter quite as much when you had but 3-4 pedals (although the cost hurt). However it started to matter a lot more when the pedalboard now starts to carry 10-12.
      RE: led for French Toast. It's doable, as it would be with any pedal using e-switching and a flip-flop of some sort. However, the chassis is not exactly hospitable to such mods, and given the nature of your question, I suspect it would take a rather lengthy explanation on my part. This is probably not the place for it. I will suggest you go to the DIYstompbox forum ( www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php ), and pose your question there. Very friendly and knowledgeable group, who I'm confident could guide you through it...if it hasn't been addressed in a past thread already.
