Ezekiel tuned for guitar ? . . .

Maybe a custom forum special of one of the "stock" pedals.
Sounds great!
How about some word play for inspiration...

1. "Mufro"--D.A.M.'s black hairy muff
2. "Foru'm'fly"--since we are flies buzzing around this place, now caught by the web (internet addiction)
3. "Oh, 8! For? Umm!"--just put the following graphic on the pedal

To commemorate the time we were introduced to tentacle porn. Maybe this one should be the Mufro :tongue:

Weird,

my post disappeared.

Anyways... I would like to see a DAM SUPERFUZZ!!!

But that is not an easy build.

So some octave pedal of some sort would be cool.... say like a Foxx, Scrambler, Blender.. thingy...

The octave octopus tentacle sex is definitely the right idea. I think this is the only place where something like that is not frowned upon but actually embrace. It would be a cool forum type idea. That yellow MK III is soooo sick though. :cthulhu: Hey sickle any chance of getting a tentacle sex smilly, maybe something like cthulhu?

Slogan suggestion for Forum celebration pedal:

"In Your Face From Cyber Space"

A Scrambler gets my vote as well....maybe a "Dambler"?
However there might be some who feel the Foozround and the Scrambler are too similar,
in that case I too would like to see a Marshall Supa...or a Zonk.


VERY COOL new site you guys! KUDOS to those who (obviously) worked so hard to get it goin'!!
Man, every time I check this page I get a stronger feeling of anticipation...
but as I have been told by wiser men than I
"good things come to those who wait"...in fact, I dont think I have looked forward to something
so much since I was a kid and my dad told us we were going to Disneyland on vacation!

I disagree that Blender's are too common. As actually both the Scrambler and the Blender have been re-issued. And of the two, the Ampeg scrambler re-issue is VERY good.

The Blender has the classic blender problem, where the output is too low, making the "blend" function not as usable as it could be... as well as not really nailing the heavy blender fuzz tone. Over-all, the re-issue is just too whimpy.

There is a COB (CLEAN OCTAVE BLEND) pedal by Prescription electronics which is definitely cool, but it does not have the treble boost.

The Foxx Tone Machine also has been re-issued. But again, compared to my original, the re-issue sounds like a toy.

I guess what it comes down to, is that many manufacturers of fuzzes just suck the life out of their products by placing too much regard on noise floor concerns and low-end woofiness.

But what they don't understand is that when you crank up your amp... that low-end woof is what makes your fuzz come alive, gets in your face, and makes it have real dynamic power and dimensional depth. And the noise floor is not just pure noise, but a lake of sound that you can hear through and find great tonal subtleties and harmonic nuances.


So if you ask me... there is really a lack of a truly killer octave pedal out there to be had. The Watson super fuzz is good and fun to play, but at the end of the day... I wish it was ruder, cruder and not as safe sounding too.

Ok.... end of rant.

Zonk machine would also be killer btw!

I had a Scrambler clone for awhile and didn't really like it. The Zonk Machine would be an excellent choice, since it's fairly rare.

How about a double circuit in one pedal, say a Red Rooster and a MK II? Either that or the Zonk would be cool. That MK III pedal looks nice too.

Well, at least we all can agree on a couple things.

1. It's gonna be great.
2. Everybody's gonna want one!
