applied banshee fuzz and conrad buzz box volume expander

[jerms]

here's a comparison between the applied and a conrad buzz box.... strange circuit that blends the fuzz into the straight signal.... leaves the clean signal in there and just add fuzz to it.... pretty clever to keep the lowend while the buzzy fuzz is going.... these are also a similar circuit to the goya fury box....

You know how the Banshee fuzz sounds blown out and farty compared to the Conrad? I think that's because the lack of bypass in these circuits. Even when the fuzz on the Conrad is switched "off" the signal is still going through the first transistor stage which is pretty far from linear and is probably overdriving the input of the Banshee too. I bet you'd see a lot more similarities sonically between the two if they were patched into a true bypass looper.

Whoa no way I checked out the other vid of just the Banshee by itself and it sounds the same haha! I mean the same as it does in this video...

Totally bloody awesome innit?!

The Bean-Sidhe shitbox, the Conrad sounds pretty damn cool too.
Kind of like the cheap man's Maestro & Fuzzrite. Love 'em.

Whomever was playing did a mighty job too!

Love that Conrad and Redeye's playing is always stellar. Twisted whammy action.

Guess that's point of em.
