I'm a great fan of fuzz boxes. Although I aprecciate some good tube amp overdrive, extreme fuzz is what I'm really in... I also think this matter may be of some interest to other music/noise makers, not only guitar players (like me) who abuse of effects. BigMuff was my first real fuzz and now I have 2 very old of them, very thick sound, lots of sustain and lows. An old Colorsound Tonebender Fuzz - more to the 'velcro-sound' than the BigMuff. Mine has some minor problems related to age, I don't want to fix them cos it sounds so good that it's too much risk for me! An old M3emthree MINI SYNTHY ( Let me know if any of you have any info about this beast, I had never found any other person who owns one). It's a fuzz (velcro-sound) with one and two sub-octave square wave settings. It is presented as a 'put-on-your-belt unit (not a stomp box, sorry!) and has three knobs for mixing the signals from nomal(?) fuzz, square-wave one octave down and square-wave two octave down. It have lots of sustain and balls, tracking is on the semichaotic side. It becomes a monster synth with a little help of an e-bow. A new Vintage TheRat, more BigMuffish but not so fuzzy, very strong and reliable. A new Roctron PurpleHaze octave pedal, I love it! You can get a mix of fuzz, one up and one down octaves at the same time. I have a Boss ME-5 with some distortions I still use and a recently acquired Korg AX1G. The AX1G is nice but once you get those old and new analog stomps you think twice about using one of its internal distortions, but the RingModulator algorithm took the place of my old beloved Craig Anderton's project for musicians stomp box. My two objects of desire right now are the old red box Foxx Tone Machine and Z.Vex 'anything'. The prices for the Z.Vex's here in Brasil, no, no... I'm thinking about build the Foxx from some schematics at some Internet sites as the used ones are costing too much. []'s, Alex Frias.
