    The Distortion/Fuzz out of it is amazing. The tubes cook the signal up and it oozez tone.

    This is what I wanted to hear. Is there anything you can compare the distortion/fuzz to? Any point of reference?

    …I had made up my mind to buy one last week, after hearing tube zipper’s demo. But then my GC didn’t have any in stock, so I figured I’d check in with you guys before I ordered one. These responses are really reminding me of why I ought to get one.

    The Distortion/Fuzz is unique. You can have it stand alone and it sounds similar to a hot tube amp. Real Tube Distortion. Very Marshall – Mesa Boggie type of distortion in a small box. Kick in the other stuff and you are somewhere else. Only you can find your way home after the journey.

    So, I’m trying to convince myself to buy a Tube Zipper. I heard the demo here http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/56/

    and I’ve heard some others, but I was wondering if it can do a fuzz/distortion for rhythm playing, in addition to the crazy filter stuff? If so, how does it sound?

    It’s so crazy versatile, I think you can just about do anything your imagination can muster. When you set the Resonance and Sensitivity to lower levels, the Frequency knob acts a bit like an EQ.

    So next time you go to a music shop with the drummer, sneak a Graphic Fuzz in with the drumsticks, grip tape and metronome, drummers are a bit slow, he’ll think its a comb.

    Reminds me of Terry in American Graffiti:
    “Let me have a Three Musketeers, and a ball point pen, and one of those combs there, a pint of Old Harper, a Graphic Fuzz, a couple of flash light batteries and some beef jerk.”

    NICE!!! 😆

    The EHX Crop Circles – what a great name for a new pedal :D

    yes!! Yes it would

    The Biggest Question…… What would it do?

    That would be a great name for a looper with some off the wall sound that makes you go back in time or forward…

    You should try it and maybe you’ll know what I am talking about. The Graphic Fuzz has a lot you can deal with while plugging your bass into. I’ve tried it with a 4 String P Bass and I was able to get some really great sounds out of it. This doesn’t replace the the awesome Bass Big Muff Pi, but you have a larger pallet to play with. It’s all experimentation…

    Oh yes, I agree about experimentation. But I’m done buying pedals that I can’t use with my band, and if a fuzz pedal cuts my lows, I’m not going to be able to be heard in the band. Otherwise, yes I really want to try it. I tried to get my guitarists to buy a Graphic Fuzz, so I can play with it, haha.

    If you can try to convince the drummer to buy one, then you have a future in sales, my friend….hahaha.

    That is true, once you get that sound, you hold on to it for the project. An yes, if has has the lows, it can get washed, but it can also add some more bottom if going for that classic stoner Muff sound. You can also throw the highs in the mix to really stand out and get the ice pick sharpened for the intended user’s ear. It can do that and more.

    So next time you go to a music shop with the drummer, sneak a Graphic Fuzz in with the drumsticks, grip tape and metronome, drummers are a bit slow, he’ll think its a comb.

    Have Fun!

    The Metal Muff will smash you. It will also smash your audience. Metal Muff delivers that tight, articulate distortion. Yes, I agree too, more of a distortion with that Muff hump in it. You can chug away with your bridge pick up on and have the notes and each string cut through or have a Muff in Your Face sound on the other side. I like this box. It really delivers what it’s supposed to. You can’t tame the Metal Muff; it will unleash the beast in you!

    one ring mod for clean ring mod tones, one ring mod for dirty ring mod tones, and one for fun CV stuff?

    Shrug

    Nicely played…. The CV Stuff gets forgotten. These pedals are awesome on old analog synths. I ran this with a Moog and I loved it. Real off the wall type of stuff.

    If anyone has an old Casio or entry level keyboard, I suggest you grab it and reincorporate that into your sound. Feed the keyboard with some EHX stuff or other pedals and let the magic begin. There are some nasty tones out there that need to be found. Fuzz on…Ring Mod On….DMM on…. Interstellar travelers will be leaving rings in your backyard while bootlegging your jam.

    That’s why I chose FUZZ for my forum name. I have a large personal collection of Fuzz Pedals and Devices. I have been doing this for a long time and different recording sessions brought on new ideas and duties, thus the large collection. Sometime in your life and every ones life, you need to have 1 of each Muff, not because I work here, but for the money, used or new, you can get a great sound for a few dollars. Each is different and each inspires you to try something different. You should never get bored playing guitar. These are devices that fuel inspiration….. So rock on![/quote]

    You’re killing me with GAS, FUZZ . I can’t afford this kind of habit. :facepalm:[/quote]

    It’s a healthy addiction…. You will never be confronted by your friends for an intervention. Save a few bucks here and there and you’ll see. You will have a enough to purchase a seventh Muff. Plus, think about how much money we all spend on other things that really don’t make a spectrum splash in the audio pool…. Gothcha there.

    Very true. From what I’ve heard I think my Little Big Muff sounds better than the Swollen Pickle.

    But at the same time there’s the part of me that would love to make a board with 10 different big muff variations on it.

    Pound For Pound, you get more sound for the buck with Electro Harmonix. EHX pedals are priced nicely where anyone can buy them and sound great.

    Man, every time I see the old chasis pedals XO’ed, it makes me want my Polychorus and Micro Synth shrunk down. The XOs just look so damn cool.

    Hey EHX, how about a bass graphic fuzz? ;)

    Hello,

    The Micro-Synth has neen shrunk down. The Graphic Fuzz’s left last week and were shipped out with such fierce and fury that the sound on the block will never be the same.

    good grief. :rawk:

    The Graphic Fuzz sounds great with the bass. You can get some really off the wall type of Bass wails with this box. Especially with the EQ function when engaged. It really cuts the bass freqs and makes it work… Drummers will like you even more now.

    I fail to see how something can “sound great with the bass” and “cut the bass freqs” at the same time.

    will the wicker switch allow it to get as nasty sounding as the swollen pickle?

    It’s got the fuzz for sure and it will get nasty. I have an original Swollen Pickle and that thing is pretty nasty. They are similar and different at the same time. The Wicker switch really gives it a bite rather than a roar like the pickle.

    i currently use ehx 12ax7’s in both of my bassmen amps (59 bassman ri and 70’s bassman ten) and they sound great! very reliable as well.

    im looking to try some of the ehx 6l6’s as well. anyone else love ehx tubes?

    I like the EHX Tubes. You have a great amp set up. The 6L6’s have great headroom and the pre-amp section is nice and quiet.

    6L6EH

    Modeled after the vintage RCA 6L6GC “blackplate,” the 6L6EH features large plate dimensions and improved grid structure for increased power handling capabilities. Also features mica spacers with metal springs to eliminate tube rattle and microphonics. The 6L6EH offers tone and performance superior to any other 6L6 or KT66 type.

    What this really means is that 6L6EH are AWESOME!
