CREEPY FINGERS: THE BALCH // DEMO
ฝัง

- The Balch was designed for and named after the great Bob Balch of Fu Manchu. It's a nasty gated fuzz aimed to recreate Bob using two fuzzes and adjusting the bias on one to force a whisper quiet gate. This thing is a gnarly fuzz, pure and simple. If you're looking for something that is gonna clean up with your volume knob, look elsewhere. This is a sludge fuzz, perfect for all of your stoner rock needs. Nice work Brad and Bob!
Fuzztastic 🖤
totally. nothing subtle about it!
I thought you were gonna say " than your dad is a better man than you will ever be".
Very diplomatic of you.
HAHAHA
Oh wow. That sounds great. I've been hoping for a demo of this. Thank you! Great playing too!
hey jon, thanks man! it’s hairy AF. super fun to play!
Superb commentary on this one. Creepy Fingers is amazing!
i do what i can. also, you are correct.
Great demo and great pedal. I own a creepy fingers creepy face germanium fuzz it is my favourte fuzz pedal and it sounds like glass when you roll the volume knob on the left. I keep it in a closet, only use it a few times every year
Have you reviewed the Lonely Heart? Big vast hugeness....
Nice bass, man! And an even nicer demo in general!
hey thanks, bud!
The only way to really hear Bob's genius is n the front row at the Casbah, when the FU kick into Eatin Dust.
M.
Cool🔥
it sounds killer, but then does that mean its gonna be trash with a strat ?
that one was a loaner, so i don't have it anymore and it's been a spell, BUT i am a strat guy and i remember the pickups not being strong enough to push the pedal into the sweet spot.
@@DemosInTheDark i appreciate your info on this, thanks
Aren't there Strat pickups that are higher output?
just fucking killing
thanks, bud!
What amp are you using here? I find that the balch is a bit touchy with how your amp is setup. Like if I cut the bass it gets all sputtery and weird. A super interesting pedal, thing sounds like it’s trying to tear your speakers apart!
it was a 50watt fuchs ods. i spent a bit of time with it trying to wrap my head around it. i’m pretty sure i still haven’t. 😂
Demos In The Dark ya this thing is nuts! I got mine direct from Bob today, he was nice enough to drop it off directly since we live near one another. I find it odd that it sputters out if you goose the front end of the pedal with a boost or overdrive. It seems to like being the only pedal turned on at any given time, although I find a compressor in front of it sounds good. I’m wondering if I can open it up and adjust the bias to get more sounds out of it
Power source, baby.
Try the Carbon battery, and the Sag control on your Iso Brick , if you got one.It all matters ~a lot
What amp are you using on this?
i was using a VHT D-50H that i had in to demo. couldn’t state it in the video cuz the amp wasn’t public yet. 😁
@@DemosInTheDark A friend just pointed me out you answered to Colin Egan further down in the comments you used a 50watt fuchs ods... I'm now a bit confused...
Just THE SH ☆T on bass, huh? And I don't even listen to FM, or smoke .
no time like the present, bro. 😂
Amen, bro!
@@DemosInTheDark I did enough of everything in my 20's and 30's to last a lifetime. Eventually, it gets boring.
