Chaos Is Me! Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I wouldn't recommend buying one from those demo's. It sounds different through every set up. ( http://www.purevolume.com/blueshiftuk ) thats more what to expect from a FF The stab knob will only do whatever you want it to do. I think you should have done more research into it, rather than listen to a few demo's, then buy it. Bite the bullet, sounds a tad inspired by a certain muse song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Bite the bullet, sounds a tad inspired by a certain muse song Ironically, its more inspired by 46 and 2 by Tool than any Muse song (Although I do admit it does sound sound alot like SS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabnit Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I have sorted out my plan to wire a FF into my Tele THE HELP My uncle is very experianced with modding guitars, as he's done it to some of his own in the past and he's a qualified electrician and carpenter. My Dad is good at soldering as well. THE ROUGH PLAN Were going to take the circuit board and pots out of the FF box and drill holes in the guitar front (with a smaller routed section at the back) with a normal switch to put fuzz on in place of the foot switch. Then obviously route it to the pickups. We are still looking into it... Would you agree on what we are going to do so far? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowSphere Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 TO the pickups? Surely you want it after the pickups? between them and the output... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Is Me! Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 TO the pickups? Surely you want it after the pickups? between them and the output... he said route it to the pickups, he needs to route for the wires, stop been a smart arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 you need to make sure your jack is stereo, not mono, i'm not sure why i just remember readying that, maybe something to do with the true bypass. also the pots are actually soldered onto the circuit board, you'll need to put some wires between them and the circuit board in order to have any reaching to an external point on your guitar. hope thats of some help to you if i was you i'd just use a floor mounted FF and a "3rd Hand" pedal to adjust the stab knob with, if you are interested in this check out musictoyz.com or search this forums for third hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendmaynard Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 ok so i have a peavey raptor and it's single coil, and i have a gibson LP, when i use the peavey with the FF the stab works fine, you know when i turn the volume down it cuts the radio-like sound off. when i use my LP with the humbuckers.. it doesn't shut it off.. does anyone know why this does it? could it be that i need a new volume pot on my guitar?

Phill Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 possibly, i'm sure mine does that with the FF on certain settings, but very few. i guess it can only really be something to do with the volume pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reverendmaynard Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 yeah so i was watching the video from italy and yeah matt only uses the FF during blackout. even during newborn he just uses it to do the whole oscillating.. then right when he's done he switches the channels. so yeah if you want to get matt's sound buy a VH4 haha... well.. or a DSL100 will do too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 you can get a pretty matt-esque sound out of a tech 21 sansamp actually, i have one, found a nice high gain distortion on it that works well for songs like deadstar and newborn tsp etc. i tried playing stockholm syndrome like this but that song just doesn't sound good through it compared to a FF.

Now thats damn cheap!!! it would be about the same price and much less hassle to get the unit from here. That's when you factor in import tax and stuff too.
