  I have a King Tone Mini Fuzz V2 that comes with BC183s. Many users complain that it sounds too dark, more as a germanium fuzz. Well, maybe that is precisely why it was chosen as an alternative to unstable germanium transistors by Eric Johnson, and why it is used in so many modern fuzz versions for Hendrix tones. I am always so pleased by your playing. Congrats,

  Great Video Aaron! The harm trem circuit in the trem channel kind of acts like another tone stack cascaded with the primary tone stack when the intensity is off. Its really a 300hz notch filter with some low freq. cut. Not to add the RC coupling going into the phase splitter is set to cut lows below 160Hz. Very very cool design. Do you have any clips with it cranked?

  A few of the demos made the Boss sound exceptional, but in my rig I knew right away that I wasn't going to keep it; nothing special.Fuzzes with buffers, or the arrangements where you can use it anywhere in the chain, or even Benson's Germanium " bias stabilization" circuit ALL equally don't work for me.There's only a few Si designs that I'd say compete with Ge; once you hear it, you can't unhear it.I've come to accept that a cheap Harmonic Percolator copy can be better than a boutique Si Fuzz.As far as the Ampeg, they are outstanding, but anything over 20 watts in a tube amp is going to be more than will be practical for most applications.I'd much rather dime a 15 watt.I've acquired a collection of lower output heads to match with various speakers/cabs ,with the choice of the latter doing much of the heavy lifting.

• 
  @chickenbiscuit4525Ай бұрын

  Those 183's are made in three different gain ranges. I don't know how much the input capacitor affects the response between hot stacks, strat/singkes or humbuckers. But this demo sure sounds nice as it is good to see you grooving. What about pnp silicone? Or even with a rangemaster tone bleeding tr/buffer. Truth be told it's how the front end gets pushed. For a tiny amp it sure sounds nice. God put on some effects for future demos...

  You mentioned the pronounced mid-range of the brown deluxe.
