[Garfunk M. Rafferty]

Just throwin' it out there...

I have to raise my voice for Germanium MEAT DELUXE !!!

I know it's going to sound BADDDASSs if it ever come out!!
I just know it!!

((after trying out Hi-gain MK2, I am 1million percent sure of IT !!))

Yep, I am the proud owner/abuser of what I belive might be the only Ge Meathead out there. It's a one-knobber and sounds absolutely beastly. Forget the stock smooth gain, this is a grumbly, rumbling raspy fuzz with a stomach-punching low end. Very old-school sounding, probably closest thing I've heard to it is a Tonebender, but imagine that with more Sabbath-esque grunt.

Got anyone salivating yet??


The only way I'd buy another Deluxe (I have two) would be if Dave did a Ge run. HINT!!!!!!

I'd love to hear a clip of your Ge Meathead, Slomatic, if ever you feel the inspiration.

Ahh..I remember that one! That sold earlier this year on ebay, yeah? So you've got that one now?

How about a Ge/Silicon switchable? That would be tops in my book.

Stock smooth gain ? Doesn't sound like a few of my earlier Meatheads. They may be silicon based lifeforms but they're not lacking in low-end or rumbling raspiness :-D I seem to recall that Dave has produced various silicon versions over the years with the distinctive classic Meatheadiness but with additional flavours and textures. Although as a veggie I don't usually use meaty as an description :shock:

I could spring for a Ge Meathead 1 Knobber. I freakin' love germainium. Those, I assume, would be less labor intensive for Dave than other custom designs. Any sound clips of the Ge meathead available?

I too would describe the Si Meathead gain (which I like) as "smooth" relative to my tastes, but that's probably because my fuzz-texture scale zeros more to the "grumbly" side (a la 1965). Case in point, I have a Mayo that I call smooth but a Fender Blender that I do not call smooth. I would not call the Si Meathead "very smooth" however.
