Banamassa design was to especially work well with humbuckers

Thanks for another great pedal show!. :)
I got into Fuzz about a year or so ago. I ended up getting a great deal on two fuzz pedals at once; the fultone octafuzz and the Wampler red velvet. Both are very different. After spending a little time playing around with both, I was really impressed with how useful fuzz really is! It can be used in different ways and depending on the guitar/amp/pedal configuration the effect can sound and react wildly different. I've been playing guitar for more years that I care to admit and I cannot believe that I am just now discovering the joys of fuzz!!! :)

Guys.  Please keep going with this series of mini pedal shows because they are invaluable!  Awesome as ever.  What i wouldn't give to sit down with you for a day and tease out more of your knowledge.

[crabbtrixexp]

Very informative would have loved to hear them with a les Paul though

Late comment to this party, but still, note that if you use a treble bleed with the red mini BOGs FF, then you don't lose​ as much top end and voila!

It's an interesting choice to run these into an AC30, given the distinctive EQ of AC30's. How well do you think AC30's take dirt pedals?

[AlexFarranGuitar]

awesome video! Love everything you do and am a big fan of Mick's also. Daniel, I know you'll have been asked this a million times, but could you give me the story of your Tele please? I LOVE the tone of that guitar. What are the pickups etc? Cheers from Nottingham England! Alex :)

[ncoyouth]

Hello Daniel What is your Telecaster model please ? Custom shop ? Thanks Nicolas

[jjbotes]

Is the Lazy J at all similar to a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe?

[rmiller]

shit I have a Clapton signature start....with active pickups...i never knew that it stopped the clean tone advantage of a fuzzface

[precbsfender]

Jimi's 69-70 Band of Gypsy red fuzz pedal was a Roger Mayer mod,  it was designed  to be used with Jimi's two 100 watt Marshall plexi super leads cranked up to volume 10..

So weird to see how small tps was at first. 10ish minute video in a tiny room. Now well over an hour and with nearly every piece of gear known to man at their disposal

[PaulGrahamGuitarst]

Fuzz Faces are way over priced considering the $10 worth of electronics and a $15 die cast housing.
I built my own for $25 and its about the size of the FF mini.

Ok, I heard that a germanium fuzzface should be first in the signal chain ... does this mean it should really slot in before a tuner for optimal operation? Cheers, love the show!
