I wouldn’t mind a reissue of the old Hot Tubes guy… Also, what about a fuzzier fuzz? I know the Russian Big Muff is fuzzier than the American, (I own the American) but why not make another huge pedal with one function, being fuzz. ZVex Fuzz Factory sound, but the size of a watermelon… Could be fun, no? Also, my vote supports the tuner. I have an all EHX pedal board, and I would love to add a tuner to it. There’s a tuner on my amp, but I’m gonna take that amp out behind the barn like a lame horse, as I hate it and am paying off a new (1968-new to me) Sunn. A tuner would help me keep my obsessive all-EHX dream alive, and help me in live rock-out situations.
StankerbellMemberWell, I changed the battery and tightened the nut around the output jack, and the problem vanished. A kind of bittersweet result, as I was WAY excited about the sounds it made, but am quite happy it now makes the sounds for which I bought it. Thanks a lot, though! If it happens again, I’ll crack ‘er open.
StankerbellMemberCongrats, dude! I’m kinda glad you were right… You being right means things were simple.
StankerbellMemberGood news, kids! It was the battery. I saved the old one in case it had some magic in it. It’s in my little wooden box.
Jon, I have a ring modulator. I’ll try that trick tomorrow! The tracks will be up on our myspace (myspace.com/frownpower) by late March. The tracks are being mastered as we speak, and the one you’ll be looking for is called “Worst Night”. It’s during the guitar freakout after the second chorus. You’ll hear it starting on a lovely high pitch and swooping throughout. Have fun, and I hope you enjoy it!
StankerbellMemberHoly crap! That’s a really REALLY good answer. I think I might not tamper with it, though… It sounds so good on the recording that I plan (if it’s not a battery issue) to just keep it running as is. As I said, I’ve already found another, and just haven’t purchased it yet. Thanks SO MUCH, though, man. That’s a LOT of help.
StankerbellMemberOh, I’m totally keeping it, broken or not. That thing sounds AMAZING. I’ve already scouted around and found another one just 30 miles from home in the guitar shop that sold my band…well…all of the amps we currently use onstage. I’ll for sure try the battery change as soon as I find myself in the studio again. Thanks for the suggestions and the “if it sounds cool, keep it” backup! Also, kids, look for the release of Frown Pow’r’s “Ricky Record” (Thick Syrup Records)… The musical destruction of everything you hold dear is close at hand. And don’t let our name fool ya’. We’re a happy little bunch of hillbillies.
StankerbellMemberAnybody?
