Title: Halfdub
Post by: juansolo on May 25, 2013, 04:00:55 PM
Halfdub

This is half an Ibanez Double Sound Fuzzwah (the fuzzy half). A creation of the enigma that is Effdub. It's surprisingly different to the Standard Fuzz in that there's no octaving and it's not as nasty. It is however quite large and scooped on one setting and a brighter fuzzstortion on the other.

I really quite like it, though it's very picky when it comes to the diodes. The two in there are quite a bit apart so it's almost asyncronously clipping which sounds great. Definitely worth experimenting to see what you like.

More stolen Malleus art. I love their stuff.

Very cool looking build. I don't know why but the graphic reminds me of Sheri Moon. Maybe its the cowboy hat.. I like it.

That's really pretty.
Some nice colours going on in there, and the art is great. I had a look some Malleus stuff and I like it a lot.

Just one thing, I thought you said no more 1590As?

I love the artwork on this. Looks like it should be in a White Zombie video or something!

How mismatched did you have to get the diodes for it to sound like you wanted? I've only recently discovered the joys of purposely mismatching diodes.

I can't remember off the top of my head, but it was quite a bit.
