A Modern History Of Classic Fuzz [Or A Weirdy-Beardy Noise-Fest]

Classic Tone Bender, Fuzz Face, Muff & More, made by pixies in sheds. Kind of…

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! We love fuzz, mmmmkay? And this video is simply an excuse to play a load of semi-rare, semi-unobtanium leant to us by our good pal Marcus Reeves. All up it forms an ersatz history of the major fuzz flavours. Erm, kinda.

Woooo! Thanks so much guys! An honour to be featured ❤🎛

[macsarcule]

Look at Mick at the end, loving how much fun his friend, Dan, is having. This is what the world needs. Thank you gents, couple of true leg-ends. ✌️😌🎸

[thorpyfx]

Love it!! Thanks for the awesome episode and for including the boneyard!!

[corpse-in-orbit]

Mick trying to flip the Land HP-2 back to semi-sane mode for Dan, and the almost disappointed head-shake Dan gives him, is one of the funniest small moments in TPS history

Pardon me, just gonna grab a beer, put my feet up and love the hell out of all of this.

[charliekrengel]

As a longtime fan, these are still the types of episodes that are endlessly entertaining; a pile of a family of pedals (be it OD's, choruses, or in this case fuzz) that you two have minimal exposure to, and just trying them out and getting tones.

While I appreciate the teacher role you two have stepped into, these types of videos appeal to everyone from the beginner to advanced player, and are just flat out entertaining.

Great show, and especially great to see Tru-Fi again. I just got the Ghost Vibe and it’s brilliant. Teddy’s a wizard with vintage circuits. His Rat Pack is brilliant too.

[hellosailoreffectsofficial]

I'm totally blown away by the kind words. Thank you both for another amazing show.

[Pelonius]

1. That Tru-Fi two face got me pregnant and I had to buy one so I knew my baby daddy was.

2. Please do this again but with Gibson P90’s and Humbuckers.

[fivecatspedals]

Hell yes! Hello Sailor makes some top notch stuff - nice to see them getting recognised!

[jonreed]

Top show, back to searching again, thanks for keeping me financially skint but grin rich. Awesome

[Gibsonuk]

I have the Thorpy Boneyard! it is a beast!! love it

[adamyeomans]

I absolutely adore Hello Sailor Effects stuff, and Joe is an absolute gent too!

[yohnsvain]

Great show and thank you for getting out the Lester & Junior (& Supro!) for us weirdo humbucker/P-90 follkes.

[ShinyShinyBlack]

My gosh, sir Mick - your playing for the last couple episodes has been jaw dropping. LOVE IT!!!!

[JonNewquist]

I wasn't sure if this episode could top the Analogman episode from the long ago "Before Times, " so I searched and found it. Watched both parts, actually. You lads have come a long way! And it's been so fun to tag along for the ride.
Thanks for that! Yet again I'm inspired to pull my only Fuzz (an MojoHand El Guapo) out of storage and give it one more go.

[TheZeekgeek]

That Tru-Fi Two Face, especially in Silicone transistor mode, absolutely melted my face off. I might need that pedal now, lol.

[johancarlson]

Aaahhh, all these weird and wonderful things that sound broken. Loving it!

[richardtomkins]

That hello sailor pedal sounds insane 😍 loving it
