  • Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals!
    Here is a killer fuzz pedal from Mike Piera at Analog.Man...the Peppermint Fuzz! At its heart, it's a Germanium Fuzz Face (and is built on Mike's Sun Face circuit board) - but the component selection and high-gain transistors make it a very different beast!
    The most versatile element of this pedal is the 'Buzz' control - which is a sort-of bias and EQ in one. Up top, it's thick and wooly like a nice Ge Fuzz Face; in the middle, it's bitey and aggressive like the best Si fuzzes are; and as you turn it down, it becomes super-gated and spitty for those super-cool broken synth tones. ...all in one box!
    What do you think? One of the coolest fuzzes out there? Or do you prefer something more tame? Comment below!
    Guitar is a Fender Strat with Fralin Real '54 pickups recorded through a Hughes & Kettner Puretone (Celestion AlNiCo Gold; Aston Spirit Condenser & 70's Sennheiser MD441) and a Dr Z DB4 (Celestion AlNiCo Cream; sE RNR1 Ribbon) with a Schoeps CMC6 room mic.

    This was my first fuzz :) just opened it up the other day and couldn’t find much info about the AC126 transistors. But I love the gated sound you got from it!

    This was super helpful, thank you for showing the pedal’s reaction to the guitar volume cleanup! There are not a lot of other videos on TH-cam of this pedal with that detail.

    Sounds killer. I have the Red Dot NKT and this seems like it does all that and more!!

      It certainly gets close to the sound of my Red Dot at certain settings :-)

    Nice and buzzy, Joe! By the way, what do you think...treble booster before or after a fuzz? Thanks!

    • @JoePerkinsMusic
      @JoePerkinsMusic  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A few people have asked me about that recently - I might make a video on it! I'm tempted to say Fuzz into Treble Booster; but personally I don't think I'd use the two together. Will try to explore that in a video soon :-)

    Do you have any chance to compare the peppermint with sunbender mk 1.5? I get confused which one I'm gonna get for my next fuzz and I found your review really nice and comprehensive. Thanks!

    • @JoePerkinsMusic
      @JoePerkinsMusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't have a 1.5, unfortunately....would love to though! :P
