Title: Bumble Bee + Mangler + Road Rage = Awesome!
Post by: CurlyMo on February 08, 2012, 04:25:31 AM
The Mangler is a little darker than the GGG germanium Fuzz Face I built previously, but this build has more sonic mojo. Very big and thick sounding. The Bumble Bee is very cool and cuts nicely. It's really a wall of doom when I run both together, but who doesn't enjoy a bit of "that sounds like it's going to explode at any second"?

Super messy insides, especially since I used a separate RR board for each effect...something i will probably not be doing again when I throw a Mangler and a Range Master together in box.

Cool graphics man. That is ALOT of Fuzz! You can always take a RR out to use with the next project.

Thanks guys! I tend to have the most fun getting the designs together. It is definitely a lot of fuzz. Kicking both in at practice last night was serious business. I can't imagine what it will do at volume this weekend...I just hope nobody gets hurt...

pryde - I used these from Small Bear:
        Transistor Pair, The Fuzz Face PNP, SINO - item # 0100

Those decals crack me up!! I'm guessing the bumble bee is a honey bee and not a burns buzzaround?

Thanks, the decals were fun to work up for this one. The Bumblebee/Circling Buzzards is a Burns Buzzaround and it is pretty wicked.

Its been a while since I had a Fuzz Face in the chain and the way I had the Mangler setup tended to get lost in the mix last weekend, but the Bumblebee had no such issues.
