Suggestions...MKII type that cleans up
Alright...I'm relatively new to this mecca of fuzz so I'm not really sure if this topic has been covered. I'm a fan of both TB and FF circuits and was curious if there existed a fuzz that sounded like a MKII but cleaned up like a FF with the fuzz control back off (ie not as quickly as a FF). I would also like to find one with as little background noise as possible. I'm on the list for a Sola Sound MKII ri and a couple of DAMs through V&R so my experience with these is zilch...although hopefully that will change soon. Any info you guys could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Peace, Love, and Tits

Sounds like you may want a Bender MK I.V but I haven't played one so hard to say. The D*A*M Sola cleans up well but not like a fuzz face. My Skinpimp MKII/FF cleans up better than any other Bender I've played but he doesn't make 'em anymore so you may have trouble finding one. Hope that helps.

i highly recommend the fuzzy lady by plum crazy fx. such a great mid- low fuzzy heavenly pedal! It nails some of Marc Fords tones. and the price is very reasonable!

Re: Suggestions...MKII type that cleans up
My Sola Sound /D*A*M MKII cleans up really well and has very little noise at all. I would hold out until you get that, you might be surprised!
My AC125 D*A*M MKII cleans up even better but is a tad noisy at times, but it is a lot gainier as well so swings and roundabouts

Re:
I just got a used Skinpimp and I would concur. I will never sell this pedal.......well, never say never.imguitardan wrote:Sounds like you may want a Bender MK I.V but I haven't played one so hard to say.

Yeah. From my experience the more sensitive to guitar volume roll off a MkII is with the fuzz pot maxed, the more hiss. However my DAM MkII has plenty of gain, is very sensitive to guitar volume roll off, and has a low noise floor. If David sold his soul at least we're reaping the benefits haha
