Guild Foxey Lady with some tweaks. Huge!

Post by John Lyons »

Here's a Guild Foxey Lady with a couple twists.

The Foxey Lady was the first Big Muff, made for Guild in the late 6Ts.
The FL circuit has a really nice growl to it.
It's different from all the other big muffs, hard to describe
It has a great crunch and holds together nicely in the low end.
Palm muting doesn't "flub out" as some other BM circuits do.
The 4th knob is a variable midrange cut/boost.
The depth of this filter really fleshes out the tone of this one.
Everything from a super doom scooped midrange to straight big muff (mild mid cut)
to flat cutting midrange (no scoop).
One of the things I don't like about the big muff type circuit is the fixed scooped mids.
It sounds good for heavy styles but doesn't cut through enough for lead and other rock styles.
The mid knob fixes all that, You can get a lot of different sounds just from this knob alone.
The tone knob is a "ram's head" type. Huge bottom to cutting highs with reduced bottom.
This pedal sounds good for heavy styles and for straight ahead rock lead and chordal work.
The gain cleans up nicely while staying crunchy but with reduced sustain/compression.
Sorry to over explain it...I dig this one!

At any rate...I'm selling this for $150 shipped.
The color is a brass vein, with a slight green tinge to it.
Paypal is best for me.
Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks Man...I need to give you a call sometime.

Really diggin' on the tone of this guy.
Forgot to mention that I fattened up the tone control
on this guy. The original has a piercing high end range.
It's a lot more balanced now.

My favorite muff is the Foxey Lady (Rams Head). Sounds like it is chewing small rocks.

I'll make you one. No problem. Just get in touch when you are ready.

Yeah...chewing small rocks is a nice description. Definetely has a nice
cross between a fuzz and a distortion. Stays in tight but gets mean.
Wild range of tones.

On a pedal, it makes you jizz0r.

Relativity's a weirdo, eh?
