@@jcout25 I think the tones are good at lower volumes, but it reacts better at louder volumes. That said, I’m thinking of getting an attenuator like a Two Notes Captor X.
@@jr0706 I've been diddling with fuzz pedals ever since the original Maestro Fuzz-Tone in the late '60s. at one time it's all there was (at least where I lived). Then came the Univox Superfuzz - original gray pedal w/knobs on the side. That was better because it had a switch to go from fuzz to something more like overdrive, which I used a lot back in those days. But by about 1970 I had quit using pedals altogether. Didn't start using again until about 1990. In my basement in a box somewhere I have a mid-'90s Sovtek Muff-Pi pedal. that's a good fuzz-like pedal, but its a HUGE army green metal box thing. Nowadays I prefer low-gain overdrives, and I have big assortment. I'm just not much into high-gain or fuzz anymore. I also have an Epiphone Valve Jr. head just like yours - I love it, although not for everything all the time! I use mine with either an 8" or 10" speaker - not for gigs, just in the house. Keep On Rocking!!
@@anthonypanneton923 wow, sounds like a fun time to be a player. I miss just plugging in, my pedalboard is quite large, but I’m a church guitarist and need all the delays and reverbs (although I need some reverb on the Epi head). I think fuzz of any kind is best in a mix. So I am going to try to do that over at backing track. I recorded a month or so ago when I get home from work this evening.
Love my Valve Jr...hate that I have to turn it up so loud to get good tones. I'd really love a master volume knob on that sucker.

the guitar + amp at the beginning sounded good. your playing sounded good. the added fuzz + trem => not so much. just MHO.
@@anthonypanneton923 thanks. Fuzz isn’t for everyone, even me. It’s an occasional thing.
And it clears up on the middle and bridge pickups. It is really woofy on the neck.
