My Fuzz Face Tattoo

Hey Guys,

I'm somewhat new to the forum. I've been reading threads for a little while, but haven't posted yet. At the suggestion of my friend, CBA, I figured now would be as good of a time as any to introduce myself and show off my new fuzz face tattoo! I've played and owned numerous fuzz pedals (like everyone here), but I find myself going back to the fuzz face more than anything else... I've attached a picture of my pedalboard, where you can see my trusty Analogman Sunface. In addition to fuzz, my other love is delay pedals... as you can see I've got two on there, but I've recently added the EQD Rainbow Machine to the board. VERRRRY cool.

The tattoo is part of an idea I've had for a larger tattoo. I'm thinking I would get a pickup wiring diagram on my shoulder, which connects to the fuzz face, and then the fuzz face would connect to an amp schematic. Just given the amount of space on my arm, I think the amp would have to be something simple. I'm thinking a 5F1 Champ, but I have a feeling it's gonna take me a while to make up my mind.

Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Feel free to check out some of my music below:

My current project, Timetables, is kind of an ambient / psychedelic / post punk thing:

And my former group, The Ultrasounds, is more of a straight ahead indie rock thing:

A fuzz face, a tonebender, and the Eventide Timefactor are responsible for most of the sounds on there. The EHX Hog is responsible for any weird synthy stuff you might encounter.

Thanks! I'd like to put more effects in the chain, but I only have so much room on my arm...

Sweet! Looks like a killer tattoo and a killer board to match. You'll have a lot of fun here

I have a BYOC MK II and a Monsterpiece MKII. From what I hear, the Monsterpiece is more akin to a MK 1.5 though. I have to say, I'm a big fan of the Monsterpiece.... I also use a Basic Audio Scarab from time to time, which is reminiscent of a MKIII.

Haha, I'll just grow a beard for that... I think it would be funny to have someone design an "Electric Mistress" tattoo. Maybe a take off on the classic pin-up girl stuff you see on a lot of people.
