I enjoy owning the mosrite and teh maestro fuzzes as collectors items...but the sound? Its useful for nostalgic purposes i guess.

Fuzzes other than superfuzzes that I like are Tonebenders and Fuzz Faces...I only have clones. would like a real tonebender some day.
I LOVE my rams head big muff but it's not what I think of as fuzz, its more of a tighter distortion sound. no splat, great note clairty even on chords, etc.

Save it for later. Give it to your kid, when he starts playing guitar. It'll be vintage by then... 'collector's item'!

Some pedals, I can see selling (expensive stuff you'll never use, or stuff you hate) but some pedals are potentially useful, and the money you'd get in return might not be worth it... going to the post office, and all that.


Just checked and the Guyatone is discontinued.  May be better to hold onto it for a while.  ;)

By the time your kid learns to play the guitar, he'll be like "I want a fuzz that I can play on the computer". You'll download your effects from a streaming cloud database, or whatever they call it.

True, but there'll be some dudes our age that want one...

My bandmate mentioned she may be picking up the Verellen Big Spider this week.



^^for some reason this has a two minute intro - skip ahead to hear what it sounds like with a guitar.

yeah , just a lil dark and meandering..but the tones sound really good. I wish that guy all the success in the world.

Im skeptical of listenng to anything thru compu speakers too Hemi.
Its kind of amazing tho how sometimes you can get a pretty good idea of the sound of an effect from a vid.

The Big Spider sounds pretty awesome, especially the mid boost. Sounds thick.

Mine is a black label one from the early 90's and looks like its been through a war. Both sides are completely brown with no paint left (it was this way when I got it.) But its the best dirt pedal I've ever owned. Now yours on the other hand looks great and is even older. Thats a damn good friend you got there.

Chovie D

white label rat...thats no fuzz, but it IS an awesome distortion pedal.
Very nice with the box and papers and everything...just sweet. grats.

justinhedrick

the rat isn't a fuzz pedal, but if you stack 2 of them together it CAN get pretty fuzzy.

i can't wait to get my big muff back from hemi . . . that is if i ever send it out!!!

Chovie D

I have the black label verison of that pedal. lm308 chip. Its such a great pedal. The white label version is highly collectible.

I will apologize in advance for any offense taken by this. But I really just couldn't resist.

HAhA. you guys crack me up. Though the blowjob offer sounds great, I'm pretty picky about Bj's. Shit, I was thinking of selling the RAT I have. Shoot me an offer?
