Monacor Fuzzder FS-1
http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/monacor/fs1
Laundromat's old Fuzzder. ES335 -> Fuzzder -> Miles Platting V50 -> Marshall 2x12 closed back ply cab.
Playing and recording is sloppier than a two bit hoor's knickers (as per usual ) , but sure that's just like the fuzz outta this silicon beastie! Weirdly when the fuzz pot is turned low it attenuates the bypass signal's high end a fair bit but when it is turned up the top end returns (even without a battery loaded).
There's nothing modern or true bypassy (or sweet or smooth) about it, no glassy highs, haunting mids or tight bottom. It's just really grotty & nasty - facking love it!

nothing sloppy about that man, great tune, and a great sounding pedal

Re: Monacor Fuzzder FS-1
Thanks! It's a great little box for sure. Sorry about the rather painful feedback in there btw (3/10 on the V50 is extremely loud in an average sized room! )

Gloriously nastay! Fuggin' love it!! esp. those simple, crazed 'dial-tones' you get at the very beginning with single chord.
well, you know we're on the same primitive wavelength...the little feedback squeal c1:50 is the best!!
i live for that shit. like bottle crashing on Do You Understand Me? or European Son...
love how that sounds - a little fuzzy wreck right in there!
great stuff, Steve

Re: Monacor Fuzzder FS-1
Nice. Sounds much betterer than the one I had -- think it was broken.
That's very garagey -- like Super-Fuzz meets FZ-1.

Re: Monacor Fuzzder FS-1
btw, got out my fuzz that looks very similar - looks like the same circuit, eh?
It sounds pretty decent, but seemingly tamer - not as ferocious as yours. Perhaps it's your set up...
I'm guessing your ES-335 and Miles Platting have something to do with it.
