Les mythes qui vous ont laissé de marbre

Someone recently posted a comment on the new BIT : Legend of Fuzz video about all my fuzz's sounding the same, and... being the kind of open minded person I am these days, I decided to go through the videos with the frame of mind that there were no differences.

It was an interesting experience, because it occurred to me that from a certain view point, a lot of them do sound the same... but of course, I come from a natural tendency to notice all the peculiarities of sound that most people seem to miss (i.e. my recent annoyance with the kick drum mixing of the new smashing pumpkins song FOL which not a soul has mentioned yet before me on the 'net as far as I have found).

For instance... the new videos of the Never Drive and BIT do have these places where the fuzz's sound similar... but there is (to me) and obvious brightness and splattering of the Never Drive that the BIT doesn't have, while the BIT has a lower-string intensity and odd decay that the Never Drive doesn't have.

Now, from a technical stand point the BIT and Never Drive are two different evolutionary beasts (BIT being a piggybacked 33 and GZ, Never Drive being an off shoot of the Torn's Peaker circuit... both totally different design evolutions), so it's not an artifact of the circuit like the Aenima and Torn's Peaker are in similarities. It's just that fuzz... from a certain frame of reference, mixed a certain way... played with the same types of riff's with the same type of gear... does indeed tend to sound more similar than if you were to say... compare a big muff with a Tele going through a Vox, rather than a muff with a Les Paul going through an Orange amp.

Anyhow... all of this boils down to the arguement of "well what's the big deal if devi's pedal cover a wide but similar range of fuzz when there are people hammering out a million varities of big muff's, fuzz face's, tone bender's, and tube screamers"....

... but I figure I'd open this up to "official" discussion since it seems like the topic comes up consistently enough.



Have fun.

Pour ma part, mes déceptions :
- Pigtronix (presque en général, mais plus particulierement la mothership) : hyper dure a maitriser et des sons vraiment a l'opposé de ce que je me faisais comme idée d'une pédale synthe

Jte trouve dur avec le Polythune la... t'es sur t'as pas eu une pédale défectueuse ? sinon le mode 6 cordes, c est plus pour "checker rapidos si tout est ok", en ce sens, je trouve ca plutot pratique meme si clairement pas indispensable. (en meme temps il est pas tres cher)

Fuzz Factory, ca depend de la version. Autant mon US, je l'adore autant j'ai testé une vexter chez Crush the button qui n'avait RIEN a voir avec la pédale que je possède. Plutot comme tu la décris : criarde au possible et moins malléable. pourtant ils ont l'air de dire que c est la meme conception ? y aurait il des disparités dans la production ?

Alors là .... tu sais d'une pédale à l'autre, meme avec une fabrication serieuse j'ai deux freakshow the rabbit
