✤ Old rusty fuzz demos : Matamp GT-1 ✤

Post by gaussgunn »

Hi all, my name is Alex and I love fuzz. Got some vintage, almost vintage and not vintage at all stuff. So I`ll be posting here demos, gutshots and short reviews. Excuse me my crappy playing. Beer for all, cheers! :hello:


So the Univox Super-Fuzz from 1972.

Most of all in my life I love strumming powerchords :!!!: Just hit any fuzz box and goin insane you know. I`ve tried several octavio type fuzz boxes until I realized that I need something more. To my ears they sounded a bit thin. Then accidentally I got this box for illegaly cheap. Oh god, it got so deep , dark and even evil sound with octave-up growling. The internal trim-pot changes the octave-up mix or smth like that. So the octave can be the switched off completely.

So if you like bluesy fretboard-wanking - you can check any other demo on youtube. I love blues, but this box says : play doom or I`ll doom you :mad:

So, being the Black keys fan I couldn`t miss this toy. Rock solid, made like a tank..sounds the same :lol: The great thing about it is it`s dynamics to your picking. This is the only fuzz box I have which sounds cool with my thumbs instead of pick. And the difference is really noticeable to my ears. May sounds like lo-fi fat drive, like medium or heavy distortion. Sounds good with hums or singles, into dirty or clean amp, into marshall or fender. I`m not saying that you can achieve a lot of different sounds , I`m just saying that if you need that fat sound of green russian muff - you`ll get it no matter what gear you have

Cool toy. Sounds very close to octavia type pedals when you`re using single coils. And obviously sounds much darker and beefy with hums. Love that battery door :D

I know there are a lot of cool tone benders on the market , it`s not an exclusive or rare circuit at all, but it`s all about THIS KILLER ENCLOSURE, I just love to stare at it, to stomp on it :D Sounds pretty good, there can`t be much talk about benders you know, you may like it or not. I like it ;)

You can buy cheap weak chorus, lo-fi crispy overdrive and short 20sec looper or you can just buy this expensive as hell lil box . But if you can allow yourself such a toy then it can bring you some fun :yay:

My number two after univox superfuzz. Got more gain, volume output, octave up is much brighter, louder and juicy. Love the tone before 12o'clock.

Lil funkey shite ( yep I saw the Northern Soul movie couple of days ago lol ). It doesn`t suit for brutal rock intros with distortion, but cool for some old or modern psychodelic stuff like Tame Impala or Pond you know. Awesome funny box , somebody gotta put the disco tape :yay: :yay: :yay:

First of all - that ugly modification was made by previous owner. So it`s a little italian fuzz that sounds like muff but with only two transistors. Fat beefy muff and nothing else but that`s enough :yay:

@gaussgun
hey alex, sweet collection. thanks for the demos and keep the badness coming.

would like to hear a good superfuzz v standard fuzz head-to-head. essentially the same curcuit but standard has a jfet first gain stage compared to the superfuzz 2 transistor stage. wonder if it makes any real difference to the sound. it's sometimes said by some that the standard has a better octave than the superfuzz, but the octave section of both circuits is identical, so not sure how that could be.

what do you think about the two in comparison?

Thank you , bro :hug:
We are thinking the same way, cuz I got even a bit more crazier idea - I`m gonna make a shoot out of 5 vintage fy-6 units, these 4 I got and one is coming. the red and apollo a currently broken by previous owners, thats the reason I got the cheap, gonna fix them soon.
I can make shootout between that two pedals, but later , ok? I`m still learning playing guitar lol, gotta improve my skills and learn new tunes

About standard fuzz : it got less gain that SF, both settings sound more compressed, octave up sound is brighter and on the full range setting it sounds almost similar to octavia type pedals. To me it`s less cool than SF

Kinda strange thing, high strings sound like clean+overdrive+a bit fuzzy sound. Nice lo-fi toy, love fingerpicking with it ;)
The most favourite thing bout this pedal is...it is bigger than big muff :joy:
