WATKINS WEM - PEPE RUSH - FUZZ (Data Dump)

SOME PICS OF MY 2 PEDALS:

These were on the old forum but I have had a tidy up on my photobucket so some of the old links may have gotten broken so here are some more.

First of all the long one - I'll put the smaller red wedge "Fuzzy" up tomorrow - G




















guts when I find them......

I'll just stick a sentence here as hopefully that will drag it up onto the current page so you can compare it to to the very splendid WEM Project 5



Failing that perhaps somebody can show (or just do it for me PRETTY PLEASE ) how to add a link to this lot from the project 5 posting so its all together


As usual sorry for dial-uppers - surely there can't be that many left without broadband!

Got a comment from Pepe Rush on my blog yesterday:

Hello Simon, I was absolutely thrilled to see you are so interested in my fuzz box from the 60s and had built a copy of it, it was great to see that people were still interested in the old technology from that era. I am working on an original version and a more updated version, still using transistors and not operational amplifiers. I am thinking of a valve/tube version and am also working on some valve/tube instrument amplifiers, if you are interested I will send you some details when any of the units are ready and working. Best regards Pepe Rush

I didn't want to bombard him with questions right off, but I hope to stay in touch, and maybe him can fill in a few gaps.

the "pep" fuzz!!! that is seriously the longest fuzz box I've ever laid eyes on!! Something that ridiculous looking must sound fantastic, no?

Now that looks like a good match for that Dominator you have

[Graham]

RATHER THAN EXTEND THE LOAD TIMES HERE I AM ABOUT TO POST SOME NEW PICS OF A SLIGHTLY LATER VERSION THAT ARRIVED EARLIER TODAY



This chap!!

I am not sure if that's the camera angle or the pedal is really that long, nice !
