I bought the SF300 a few years ago when Sweetwater was running that $19 Xmas special with free shipping. It's a fun pedal but the only setting I really enjoyed was the 1.5 setting. So I super glued it in place. Now I love the pedal and never have had an issue with the plastic casing etc. The guy at the back of the bar on his 3rd IPA has no idea the Fuzz if you are playing the SF300 or a 69 Univox Super Fuzz. If you rock, then you rock
I feel as long as you dial in the eq for your amp you can practically use any way you want and it'll sound good at least. I've used boost with the pedal on for almost 99.99 percent of that last 6 years
Wow, great tones! A couple of observations... I noticed on all the vintage units where one can see the knobs, amazingly all the levels or volumes are set very low. Conversely, the Behringer is at max level. Is this causing a fairly large volume drop with the vintage engaged (it doesn't sound like it)? Just wondering as I was always under the impression that on the old fuzz faces in particular one needed to max out the volume just to hit "unity gain" with the " unit unengaged" volume but I have no experience in the matter, so I could be totally wrong. 🤷♂️ Either way, all of those tones are very good or great, imo. Great job, now I'm going to grab a Behringer b/c at $30 brand new...why not give it a whirl? Sounds great in your hands 👍
Hey, pedals are cranked!especially on the big muff the pots with d shaft are soldered to the bird in a way that the knobs look like if they’re not cranked. But all vintage pedals are cranked but the tone control on the BM
@@joehuber3056 ah, makes so much more sense now! I was thinking, "How tf is he not getting a massive signal drop out to the amp and therefor volume drop? Compression from the recording device? Post recording production? Maybe I'm just crazy 🤪?" Anyway, thanks a ton for the response! I'm gonna grab one of those Behringers for sure. Great playing and tones, man! Checking out your other vids as time allows.
The behringer is noisy and has a plastic sound typical of a lot of cheap distortion pedals and you can’t compare the quality of the sound with others real vintage fuzz pedal especially the Dallas with germanium diodes.This one is amazing
@@eaglebauer944 There is nothing but people throwing flowers at the Behringer Super Fuzz FS300 pedal and putting it next to BIG fuzz names, all over TH-cam. Don't get misled by these noobs!!!

I only like the boost setting ;)
@@joehuber3056 Not gonna lie, the boost setting is very good, lot's of extra DB mojo there
The Behringer is AMAZING!!! ...sounds exactly like all 3 of these Vintage boxes..WOW!
Thank you so much! An USA made Pro Junior and a 69 Strat on the bridge pickup
holy molly really cool comparison
Thx so much. Wanted to show that if you spend some time, you’ll get great results or only from expensive stuff😊
The Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz is the pedal for a direct comparison to the SF-300. The Behringer is a nice sugar high and good value.

Very cool..just curious,what kind of guitar and amp are you using here?

Thx so much for your feedback. The B just needs some time to dial in a sweetspot but it’s possible 😉 the Boost setting works best for me btw
The Behringer sounded exactly like the 74 Rams head.

Bla, bla, bla, the plastic doesn't have anything to do with the sound. It's the electronics and circuits.
he didn’t say the plastic changed the sound, but just used it as a tonal descriptor of the sound?
@@exitostropicales101I'm not even a gear snob, but this thing definitely sounds like it looks, and can't hold a candle to anything above $50.

@@exitostropicales101 I don't like how it sounds, are these flowers going to change that?
