Can’t believe I didn’t find this pedal sooner. It does have a vibe! I will get one to try out but I have some items that need to be cleared up. PH didn’t use a BB1200s Yamaha Bass until post JD era. In an interview with Yamaha for the release of the PH signature model, PH says he used a Yamaha BB600 bass that got stolen in 1980 while in America.This bass model does not exist. Yamaha never denied the fact the BB600 bass doesn’t exist but it’s not in any production catalog. JD never got a chance to tour in the US so if a bass was stolen in the US, he was already in NO doing Movement era songs when that bass was stolen. If Yamaha doesn’t have a BB600 in their catalog, what bass could have it been? It definitely was not a BB1200s. After the first Yamaha got stolen during the tour for Movement, which is supposedly a BB600, PH purchased a BB1200. Equipboard says the BB1200 was used in the JD LWTUA video. And it does look like a BB1200 because it has a rosewood fretboard and the inlays are not dot. To add to the confusion there is a BB1000 floating around this same era with non-dot inlays. Equiboard does not have this bass listed. The BB800, BB1000, and BB1200 (not S) had the same PU configuration “Reversed” for PU configuration and electronics with a note “P.” The BB1200 is neck-through and BB800 bolt on. Electronics: one volume knob and one tone. To me they look the same except it is hard to tell which one PH plays because I cannot see if it is bolt on or neck through. Rosewood fretboard and non-dot inlays in a lot of videos suggests BB1200 so my observational guess is the stolen bass was a BB1200. After the Movement era, PH buys a BB1200s. It is a super (suped up) version of the BB1200 & neck through with non dot inlays. The now famous preamp 3-band EQ with separate volume and tone control and featured in a 1981 Yamaha guitar catalog as the first year of production. So if PH bought it, it must have been after the US tour sometimes in 1981. In my opinion (no one asked for), the BB1200s would be a post Movement and a pre Power Corruption & Lies era bass. The PCL album was released in May 83. Regarding active pre basses, there is a picture of NO playing Provinssirock festival, Seinäjoki, 1982 and PH has a neck through bass which looks like the same preamp as a BB1200s but the headstock is way off (it has two soap bar PUs. Alembic maybe?) Equiboard does not have this bass listed. Trying to figure out what bass that is. Lots of pics of that year with the 6-string Shergold Bass so maybe it is a boutique bass found. Now for the sound everyone is after, for some time it was Hondo II Ricky copy through a chorus pedal with a little bit of distortion until it was smashed. The EH Clone Theory Chorus being the most talked about used.The Hondo bass is widely known and seen in the Transmission video. For recording the CLOSER album, basses were run through an Alembic F-2B pre and a Amcron DC300A amp. Now go buy this ME pedal and have some fun.

Beringer Sf300 $25

The sounds remind me of early Smashing Pumpkins era.

What a great demo! Ordered mine today.

i like fuzz so much

Too many good ones to mention but I do like those Electrofood pedals a lot! The two worst sounding ones to my taste were the Dystopia and Total Garbage which ironically sound completely different from each other. Who know, maybe together they might sound really cool?

Sympa la musique...très intéressant

It wouldn't be an exaggeration, embellishment, eager excited energetic extreme enthusiasm, or other "E" words, to say: This is the greatest (fuzz) pedal shootout video ever made. (Wish he'd thrown in a few of the cheapies too, just for reference. But, it's a very very very minor gripe.)

Спасибо за видео, все таки теперь я понял что мне не нравится биг мафф

Whatsa riff?

Love your discovery process! No wonder that record took so long to record 🤣

Great Video. I like the Rat in this demo. You may like this video where I feature an original muff fuzz kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV7dnppsqJWNnqs

Tone Bender by Keely Electronics is missing..

So Fairfield Circuitry then...?

I'm amazed that I have around 10 fuzz pedals and not a single one was featured here. So many fuzzes in the world!

Big Muff is the best. Obviously

❤

...still do not know which is better due to the different set ups turn the pedals sound different...so the test should be done with similar position of the potentiometers

ok this is going to sound weird but is the snare in the intro upside down? why does it sound upside down?

Amazing! The hard work really paid off. You have a great ear!

You NEEEEED to do this with flangers

This sadist didn't post bloody timestamps

Struggling to see what's so interesting about this one, personally. Art is cool though!

Excellent demo. Were you using bridge or neck pick-ups on this?. Just curious.

Great demo!

Not that I needed to hear it, but would've been cool to see DOD Carcosa on the list Nonetheless, amazing demo. I'm ready to pick up some extra fuzzes I don't think I need, but kinda want. I also understand now why Shigeharu is so loved and sought after, very sweet sound.

this riff is useless...

Need to drop that tuning a shit ton 😁

Your songs are such a joy to listen to. Best regards from Northern Norway!

lots of good one but extra points for the dystorpia for being the only one that made me laugh

Excellent demo. Love your playing style. I was just wondering what tuning you used on this?

No Warlow tho?

Great demo! 🔥

intro is giving me cleaners from venus vibes

Thanks, I will just get a RAT.

I was thinking of swapping my Shallow Water for this. Still not sure. The Echo Fix spring reverb is insanely good, as is this!

First (I am mentally a 14 year old)

This is probably the closest I've ever seen anyone get to the original sound of the track. Nice job :)

That ending song HAS to be Cocteau Twins?! Which song is it? ps.. GREAT demo

You need a BamBee fuzz

One of the best fuzz demo's I've ever seen! I'd love to have one with fuzz in the mix to compare how they cut through!

71 fuzz pedals and chapter markers for every one. What a legend! 🫡

thanks for the ear worm. i never liked sleep anyway

Ton riff est toujours autant bon même au bout de 71 fois !

Thank you! This is so great

This put Mask Audio on my radar for the most interesting sounding fuzz/distortion pedals I've heard in a long time. Maybe? probably my favorite of thr bunch

Needs more fuzz

0:44 0:58 1:40 3:44 3:56 4:10 4:38 7:09 7:35 8:31 8:58 9:12 14:13

The real question is where’s the video for this badass riff???
