haze015 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Either the battery or your using to much stab, gate or gate, or a combination of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombaz Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 And, a switch wouldn't be possible, there's no space inside the pedal. i ment in between the wires that attach the copper plate to the fuzz factory. perhaps you can ground it, so that it kinda turns it "off" (although it would be like having your foot on the pedal) when switched, switch again and the copper plate is allowed the change the frequency. and thats for installing it into the guitar, you'd drill another hole for the on/off switch and dunno why im typing, noones gonna try this!

jonmar Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 is it possible to mod the FP in such a manner that in addition to the plate you'd have the stab knob aswell so you could oscillate at any damn pitch you wanted and still go apeshit on the plate and tap it and do whatever?

So you could have the comp knob and then replace the stab knob with the probe, yes...thats not a bad idea actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be, you'd have to be really precise about what you were doing, better to just play with the knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren_the_bass_guy Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 could i use a ff with my bass, and would it sound okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds evil, if you don't mind losing some of your bass, you can get a really messy fucked up sound.

Wouldn't work with a Fuzz Probe, it'll go into a strop and not sound the same, it always wants to be first, just get a simple splitter box and use two amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still happen with a splitter in front. It might be ok, I'm not sure how it reacts to buffers......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be ok, I can use my wah pedal before the FP, although the FP totally destroys the wah effect, so it needs to be after to be heard. I think Boss pedals are buffered, the FP hates them with a passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest because Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I swear i can slap myself for asking, But if you buy a FF from musictoyz and put UPS 1-4 day shipping on it, will it acctually come in 1-4 days? Any other taxes or duties to pay other than the cost of pedal and shipping? Is insurence worth it? Heard buying overseas was very troublesome and took months.... loads of funny taxes to pay which snowballed like mad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard buying overseas was very troublesome and took months.... loads of funny taxes to pay which snowballed like mad.... Unless you can smuggle it back into the country, it isn't worth buying abroad to be honest, it's only £209 here, plus if you take your parents with you to get it and get them to knock the price down, your laughing. But unless your going on holiday to america, your only going to save a few quid and for all the bother and waiting, its not worth it in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard buying overseas was very troublesome and took months.... loads of funny taxes to pay which snowballed like mad.... If you get it off American eBay, you can usualy get it for under $200 and also get the seller to mark down the value and call it a gift so you don't pay any tax. If you get it from a decent place, they will sort you out if it goes missing as well. My Fuzz Factory (from Oasis guitars on eBay) cost me about £130 and took 2 weeks to arrive. Other pedals have taken only 3 days (tonefactor.com - an awsome guy runs it). One took over a month but still had no taxes and the seller (tonefactor again) was in constant contact with me and ready to send another if it never arrived. So yes it is worth it if you can handle a possible wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
