I may need some time to save up for one, but it definitely has a bit of a different flavor in comparison to the others I’ve gathered to date. The Fuzz War has become my “go to” so far. The Dunlop Gypsy Fuzz and my old Octavia build are pretty interchangeable, but the Gypsy is more compact and a bit darker. Looking forward to the Hail Satan Deluxe to fill the “Muff Variant” slot.
I have one of the very first grey 69 pedals. You could borrow it after I get back from Germany after Memorial Day. I think it's quite different than their current offering.
Well then…I’ve learned something today! Thanks!
Wow!!! Thanks! You do have quite a classic collection of cool dirtboxes!

That is pretty tasty looking…solid octave tones!I'm temped to pull the trigger on this one
Chicago Iron Tycobrahe Octavia SE Fuzz
A faithful reproduction of the 1970s Tycobrahe Octavia. The Chicago Iron Tycobrahe Octavia SE is a faithful reproduction of the original 1970's Tycobrahe Octavia. No frills, no LED: 70's vintage all the way! Includes all the same art, logos and knobs as the legendary original 1970's Tycobrahe...
Ask for help, I help. Simple as that.
There are some more around here. I forget if I have anything else stashed away.
I kinda like this one. Lots of knobs to twist.So…I don’t do this very often, but I’m gonna do it now….
I‘m feelin’ the need for something new (to me) in the family of fuzz tonez. There’s no aversion here to “rolling my own” either.
(See THIS EXCELLENT THREAD to understand the meaning there…their fuzz kits are HERE )
Anyway, I’ve become enamored with down tuning for some sludgy stoner stuff again lately, and I find myself wondering if I would enjoy a different fuzz variant, apart from the Octavia, and the different muffs I've built over the years. I’m feeling open to suggestions…that Game Of Tonez challenge had me looking at the Way Huge Swollen Pickle variants(I mean, they have an actual “Dirty Donny” model
), and finding myself curious about what else I could be missing in this quandary…
So I ask you wonderful people….Do you have any suggestions for thick & gooey fuzz pedals? To build(kits), or buy, it doesn’t matter…I don’t fear the iron! But tell me why too….please.
The reason why their settings are radically different could be the rest of their rigs. When I texted you the photos of the boards, I'm pretty sure I told you who's board was who's. Ian uses a mid nineties JTM45 reissue similar to my '89 along with either a Les Paul Custom or Standard with humbuckers. Matt uses a Marshall 1987 model 50 watt head and either an SG Special or Les Paul Standard with P-90s. Live, their both playing with full stacks. Ian's amp is significantly louder than Matt's. Matt says he can't get his any louder, it's always max'd. Neil will counter with an Ampeg SVT and Acoustic rig with a Rickenbacker or Thunderbird (sometimes a J-Bass).
Thank you @jtcnj !
