Cerpin Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 One rule: ALWAYS use the FF first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 the whammy appears to track better/faster if it's after fuzz (probably as it is working with nice almost-square waves rather than dodgy guitar curves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~arph Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The Fuzz give you almost any sound, but because of my pickups (single) I cant' get loud harmonics, for example... on Citizen Erased, the Fuzz factory cant get those. But is just one song, so it's Ok, you always can use the amp distortion or any middle priced distortion pedal. Mmmm... I got a strat and a tele (both single coils I believe) and I got no problems of getting really loud harmonics with my FF... the trick is to discover where to play those harmonics... (I mean it's harmonics after all...) especially.. the hand that holds the pick.. I'm getting the really loud ones right above the bridge pickup (yes it works both for tele and strats for me...) whilst above the neck pickup they're almost unaudible.. (ok.. I'm assuming that you mostly use the bridge, bridge/middle pickups anyway..) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroWavesMeInsane Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 So what actually is Matt's main distortion, his FF or is it from his amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Live it`s definatly the FF, on the "crunch" channel of the Diezel I believe. In studio I think he experiments and uses what`s best for the particular song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasnojarsk Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hello! I just realised I'll have to save months longer to get a Fuzz Probe, since I keep wasting money on records and books, now I'm really considering an FF instead. As I've written here million of times, I only play at home (it'll probably change in the future), and I want to do (sorry for bringing Matt up, but...)like Matt does in the beginning of some Blackouts live, when he pulls the stab knob until it oscillates in the same pitch as the song and starts playing, a technique I would very much like to use. So, please decide for me I might as well reach down to the floor and yank it about, or taping it to the guitar right? Oh, sorry, just realised how confusing this was, basically, I guess, I want to hear happy, happy words from FF owners! Cheers, Kras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblical Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 industrial velcro is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasnojarsk Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hehe, guess I'm just Swedish, here everything is tape So industrial velcro is the stuuf you use for cardboard and boxes like that eh? Yes, strange discussion for kit and tab... "What velcro does Matt use?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebso Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 The FF will do the job, it's cool to control the stab with your foot, but you can just twist the knob, 100dlls cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krasnojarsk Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Oh I see, hence the name velcro rip eh...get it, cheers. I could always stick a little velcro strip on the guitar and say it's a MIDI strip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Get the Probe!!! It's much better when you don't have to touch the pedal at all and do the squealy noises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasnojarsk Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Oh that's just eeeevil. I said happy words from FF'ers, no bloody probers 'ere No, really. That was evil. My brain is confused. But I'm going for the FF anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm going for the FF anyway. Ah well, anyway you get the same sounds from a Probe as you do from a FF, but you don't have to bend over to control the Stab knob, which is great thing, plus Probes attract girls, FFs don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FF just over the top of the crunch.. no wot i think that would do is just add to the distortion, i think he turns the gain on the crunch channel down so that its actually pretty clean until you start hammering the strings, gives that bite, similar to hyper music intro live, it means that its clean, but if he hammers the strings its more overdriven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
