nice input guys, thanks.
nice video matt, captures the way it sounded at my house too.

a little tag back to much earlier in this thread. whoever the ' coleman' person was who made the #1 fuzz around 8 years ago followed my easyface fuzz schematic exactly part for part. he even nailed my exact gain specified for the Ge trans =135; and funny enough zero leakage. i suspect the trans may have come from small bear as steve has offered an easyface set in my spec'd gain ranges for a dozen years or more.

the way the bass controls work internally are the same ' input cap blend' that has been de rigeur among hundreds of boutique pedals since i launched it's commercial use around 2001. in fact, for years, it was referred to as the 'gagan input cap blend' on diy forums - not because i invented it, but because i loved it so much i was the johhny appleseed of cap blending in the 2nd and 3rd wave boutique eras.

^^a little history for the more recent converts, and to bring this thing around to an interesting full circle point. kudos to the guys early on who spotted the circuit's origins just by viewing the guts :crackjam: :marx:

thanks matt, for the opportunity, i think it will be a nice pedal for a variety of wide and not-wide niches.

That sounded pretty damn good. I liked the home made phasing too. :lol: :tu:

Ya, until I read the explanation I thought there was a real phaser on there.

New video. More wanking, less phasing. This one highlights the low gain sounds a bit more. I should note that this demo and the other one are with the guitar on full all the time! I dont touch the volume knob on the guitar at all. The stuff that sounds like rolled back fuzz... boom!

Because everyone loves hearing a white person play slowly in E for a few minutes at a time.
