Is this possible? (fuzz/wah/boost content)

Post by markom89 »

I had this pretty wild idea for a build the other night and was wondering if it's possible... I mean, I know it's possible, but year... just tell me what you think.

Big wah case (think Tycobrahe or Colorsound) and in it would be a fuzz, booster of some sort and a wah, obviously. the controls for the fuzz would be mounted on the side and the boost would have a little button on the side that you'd hit (think 535q) and a knob with which you'd adjust the boost. there'd also be an on/off switch for the wah effect. There'd be a bunch of stuff in/on this one pedal, but I think the final product would be really cool.

Thoughts?

Definitely a cool idea although the vintage pedals that did what you want to do never really took off. Probably because the wah was usually after the fuzz and it was too extreme (double beat, etc...) or the fuzz and wah had typical fuzz/wah sibling rivalry. I think if you went with a real hairy fuzz that wasn't a fuzz face (maybe a muff) and put it on a switch so you could swap the order of the two effects you would have something pretty cool. I would skip the boost though. Probably more useful in an outboard box so it would be easier to get to.
