Title: Buzzsaw
Post by: marauder on July 31, 2012, 03:34:11 PM
GTR2's cut down Roland Bee Baa, complete with mojo Japanese transistors, mid 1970s JVC tape deck salvage.

Great sounding fuzz, especially when the amp's cranked!

Juansolo's artwork again.

We thought that they were chosen for cost reasons in the original, but they do sound very nice.  Smoother than the 5088s.  Juan's ended up with a 2sc644 and a pair of 2sc945s, and its very close.  Gonna have to try some salvage in a muff.
