The Fuzz Thread

Oh cool! Check back if/when you finish it.

Will do. I've heard enough things I've liked from you guys that have them to definitely try one.

Hope you dig it.

Watched a bunch of videos. Not bad for sure - but in most videos, I miss some of those, hmm, shall we say "vocal" mids.
Would like to buy 2nd hand, but maybe I'll just add one to my next Thomann order so I can easily send it back.

Do you mean low mids or upper mids? The Carcosa has more flexibility in the upper mids than say a FF where it seems to be more low mid focused.

Likely some lower end-ish mids.
2:30 (should be spooled) gives a kinda decent impression, but there's been more of what I mean at the gig):

That sounds like it has an octave down added to it. The Carcosa has a high cut so the lows are pretty low if needed, but just in a different zone than a FF style.

Could very well be, given he's got that Octaland on his board. Yet, he always has what I'd describe a sound full of "satisfying" mids.

Spent the night playing with a Grind Customs Supernature. It's a 1976 Jumbo Tonebender clone, it feels like a really great big muff had a love child with an older tonebender. I bloody love it.

The JTB is only two components away from a B&M fuzz unit, that's the Edwyn Collins Girl Like You fuzz, so it's got a switch to go between them.

Gonna check it out at band rehearsal levels on Friday night.

Been playing with this circuit for almost 10 days now and it's rapidly becoming my favourite fuzz. Doesn't clean up like a FF but it also plays nicely with buffers, wah or anything else that's in front of it. The harmonics are crazy good.
