I have this and it's blown me away! Not one bad sound on it! I saw Josh in Sheffield and he was phenomenal. I wanted to get him to sign my pedal but I came from Bradford and had to get the last train 😭
What sounds good playing alone, at bedroom volumes is so different than what works on stage with a full band, even at just small to medium club volumes, and I wish more gear reviews and demos made this distinction. Love that Josh does.
There's bedroom volume. There's gig volume. And then there's Josh volume. I suspect the there are only a handful of people who will be able to get the tone Josh gets. There is so much going on, his hands, his volume, string gauge. This is not your typical review or guitar player. This video is not for everyone.
Just got mine a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Sold my King Tone Ge Mini Fuzz and don’t regret it at all. This is way better. I also own the TSV808 and Jan Ray and they are 3 of the best pedals I’ve ever owned and I’ve sold over 75 pedals I’m the last year alone.
Is there anything else in the signal chain besides the fuzz? Mine doesn't get nearly that saturated by a long shot! I thought it'd be more saturated on its own.
Are you playing as loud with heavy gauge strings and the same pickups? Fuzz’s are very discerning and even a slight difference in input volume will result in a different tone
@@seansrecords Hey guys, thanks for replying! I've discovered how sensitive fuzz pedals can be since posting this comment. I'm definitely not using the same gear (strings gauges, guitar, pickups, etc.) as Josh in this video. Hence the drastic difference in reaction. To achieve the same level of saturation I've placed a Jan Ray after the fuzz. Problem solved! Thanks for the insight!! Take care!
Christian Davis yep Jan Ray is a great pedal after fuzzes as it simulates a cranked amp if you aren’t already playing into a pushed amp (which most of us aren’t usually) Fuzzes sound great when you get them where you want , I usually get one - get sick of messing with it and sell it , I’m due to pick one up again soon as I haven’t had one for a while... I’m looking at this one and the Dandrive Austin Pride which is a clone of SRVs fuzz face that his tech modded . Glad you got the tone you wanted anyway !!
@@seansrecords Delving into the world of fuzz has been a great learning experience! I settled on the Kingtone Ge Mini Fuzz. Check out the Pedal Pawn Fuzz. It's a Cesar Diaz Square Face clone. Sounds fantastic!! I have one. The clean up is incredible!!
can this sit w a germanium treble booster (vemuram shanks 3; my almost always on pedal) in front of it or will this behave like when I tried to put a germanium sunface behind the germanium 3k?
I love the pedal and I’ll probably buy one. However, I feel compelled to say that the audio quality in this video does a great disservice to both your product and to Josh Smith.
I want it so bad but I'd have to sell half my pedalboard to buy it 😭😭 I understand it's quality stuff and it's worth every penny but I'll just have to drool for now.
No good! Sound to woofy, undefined, mushy and wooly in a bad way! You can get those sounds out of any fuzz and pay 1/5 of the money or less. Bunch of features and still bad tone... Not even god playing helps bad tone...(Josh=god, Pedal=not so much) 460 bucks or 460 euro....realy....whaaaat.... Jesus...... And who else is playing amp at 1 (volume) and then kick the pedal at 10.....? 4:14 to 4:20 when he kick the pedal in...
right right... and Josh Smith, the guys from that pedal show don't know anything about fuzz pedals and them saying that this is one of the best fuzzes don't mean anything right. people who don't understand or like fuzz complain like you. i guess doyle bramhall's tone sucks too hun? Jimi's tone sucks too.
I think the quality of the video/audio could have been better. Josh Smith is all about dynamics, and I’m sure he wouldn’t promote a fuzz that was woofy and one-dimensional like most fuzzes are.

Had mine for two weeks. Wow. Great sounding pedal. Tons of versatility. Love it
Had?
Fuzz starts at 4:15

😂
Just bought this pedal, absolutely blown away killer pedal guys. got number 269!
Can you get bedroom volumes or is this a loud and louder pedal?
Wow... That pedal kills!
the best pedal I ever Had
Killer sounds...and it has a hint of octave at some settings too. :D
Because in some settings is using a octave pedal too...
Best fuzz in the world!
Questo effetto è magnifico
Do you still have or use deep trip bog fuzz ?
神！！
Sounds like it has a bit more midrange punch than your average fuzz, can anyone confirm?
Dont understand the bias... full on the right side is only Germanium??
Amazing sounding pedal, so “Cream era Eric Clapton switching on his 2nd stack”. I tend to run with no pedals at all, but I might have to get this.....

After some experimentation time are you still facing the same dilemma?... or have you resolved the lack of saturation mentioned?
Are you playing as loud with heavy gauge strings and the same pickups?

How temperature sensitive is this pedal? Does it help that it has silicon transistors too?
What does the bigger myriad pedal do besides the fuzz?
Espresso-maker

A valid and applicable question.
@@montag4516 a classy answer
That's significantly more money than
a sunface

i ve been living the same nightmare.. im selling 2 pedals that i NEED and im willing to pay extra hahaha
We’re in the same boat😅
So not made for lower bedroom levels?
10:36

The need for a screwdriver to adjust the bias is holding me back from buying this.
If you are lucky enough to afford this you can buy a screwdriver😀
