Best Fuzz?


Gang,
Is there a pedal out there that will simulate a Fuzz Face into a fully cranked Marshall, ala Jimi Hendrix

Not sure if there's a circuit that does that, but the ToneBender Professional MKII has always been my favorite fuzz circuit.  It can do a lot of things and has a fairly wide range of fuzz tones when nice low gain and low leakage transistors are selected for the circuit.

I had a little trouble with the MKII at first because I was trying to use one or more transistors that were too leaky and it the "Attack" pot was more or less useless...not matter where it was turned the pedal had an awful saturated sound.  As soon as I picked out some good low leakage transistors, it worked like magic.  The MKII also cleans up well from the guitar's volume control just like the Fuzz Face, but it's capable of quite a bit more fuzz...and feedback

Got a schem?


I listened to the clips on the Jacques web site and didn't really care for them too much.


I'm thinking I should just build the axis fuzz and have it go into a Brown Sound In A Box II.

I'll email the schem to you, but I don't want it to go public yet.
