Did you overlook this FUTURE CLASSIC? | Friday Fretworks

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

What pedals do you think are flying under the radar? 🧐

[@MikeSingSing]

DOD Carcosa! Best "budget" fuzz i've ever heard.

[@delbertstringbreaker7686]

Wampler's Tumnus - the king of Klon clones?

[@JohannesLabusch]

@@delbertstringbreaker7686 100% ON the radar, that one ...

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

I like the Blessed Mother drive pedal. It’s a small company. I prefer a warmer, variable tone on drive and this tracks my style. Not everyone’s preference, but it suits me.

[@Cesiumswimsuit]

Not sure how under the radar this one is, but I’m a fan of the Golden Fleece from Mythos. One knob fuzz, sounds great with a Strat and cleans up nicely too

[@TheRodge2112]

I had forgotten about the pelt after having watched this vid and being pretty impressed. Gonna snag one! This series of fender pedals has flown under the radar.

[@azcoyote007]

Chris Buck you have the kind of phrasing that will make you a legend. Well done.

[@jochem420]

Chris' jams are honestly one of the highlights of my week

[@SorenAraujo]

4:53! Such violence 🤘 goodness gracious, my gut is rumbling after listening to that... I should definitely eat something. Awesome stuff!

[@FrostlordTheWizard]

I bought the Pelt because of this very video and it pretty much replaced every other fuzz I had. It is truly a hidden gem, hiding in plain sight. So many good tones in it and paired with an overdrive or an overdriven amp it is pure heaven. Thanks for helping me discover this monster of a pedal!

[@deplinenoise]

The phrasing here is sublime Chris. I hear a lot of Derek Trucks in those expressive one string lines. ❤

[@greatestfighter6181]

Congrats on 200k!!!

[@tomwhitworth5947]

Nice seeing Rival Sons getting some love! Awesome playing as always, Chris!

[@hjalmarolethorchristensen9761]

You just make me glad......so good playing 👍

[@i8ittoo]

Wish I liked fuzz more! But, I absolutely LOVE Chris's playing.... you are awesome Chris..

[@januszplaysguitar]

"Electric Man" tone was dead on! Phenomenal playing as usual Chris!

[@The_Jesmaybe]

BROOO, finally. I have had my pelt for years and tell people all the time to try one. Glad to see it getting some love!

[@tolvajakos]

your right hand technique is insane

[@grahamtruckel]

Another great video Chris, and I only just noticed you've hit 200k subscribers. Congrats - much deserved!

[@my3pups153]

Chris Buck, future Legend!

[@wilkowilkins363]

Chris Buck legend in his own lifetime!!!

[@thankyouspaceexpert]

Heard about this video on Reddit. This pedal is a must have. Thanks for heads up Chris. Playing is phenomenal as usual.

[@joebruley4117]

Love the Rival Sons praise. Scott Holiday is a hell of a guitarist in a band the keeps pumping out great music.

[@mattd2381]

Totally agree. Was put on to them by Larkin Poe. Quickly absorbed everything they do.

[@BostonWhoFan515]

That opening jam was incredible, Chris! Cheers.

[@nickmcconnochie6555]

Great sounds as normal,saw you at Gak tonight.your teaching and playing is a real skill.thank you.

[@christophermarx344]

Thanks Chris, as a player for ~ 45 years, I'm still learning from you. Considering the tonal challenge of fuzz, your hybrid picking also reduces the sharp edge of the fuzz by avoiding jarring pick attack. Really nice example of sonic construction on a basic level.

[@Unusednickname_1970]

Dude, thank you for turning me on to this pedal. I’ve struggled with fuzz for so long. The Pelt is so tweakable. Finally a fuzz that I can make work for me! I love it!

[@ramonaHQ]

Love your playing. It’s so tasteful. ❤

[@drivenmad7676]

Damn Chris your solos are getting insane!!!!!!!

[@predragtadic]

That intro is awesome!

[@JimmyGallowayGuitar]

Stan Cotey [you just mentioned as I was typing] took over at Fender for their pedals. He used to do all my amp mods in Nashville 25 years ago before he moved. Great guy, great tech- super brilliant. Cheers.

[@Strange-Songs]

0:13 Holy Crap! Wow!

[@weskaminski8927]

The sounds at 8:08 and 9:30….awesome

[@ZitherBeast]

So damn good. Thanks for the great playing Chris.

[@brian95]

Would love a Friday fretworks on Cardinal Black! Little interviews with everyone and a full story on how you all came to be CB perhaps? Or an insight into the creative process as a band?

[@Kilovolver]

Chris I watched this video some months ago and pulled the trigger on one of these... I have to say you were totally right. I just received and tested one of these. Nice plethora of sounds, fuzz pedals normally dont find a place in my chain but this one definitively will. I agreed with you (not remembering what you said in this video) that the bloom control is what makes this one stand out. The 3 way mid switch was also useful. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@sons7429]

This pedal is so underrated. Also, you’re an amazing player man

[@hawkcrossfamily]

Well, I just bought one! Chris, your playing inspires me to want to play more, thank you.

[@rainerklama6365]

Thank you Chris for this episode , i immediately bought this pedal this afternoon. It sounds beautiful.

[@picksalot1]

Never heard of the Pelt before. Very good sound, and now I recognize in many of your videos. It's easy to hear why you like it so much, and Fender will probably be happy you got around to demoing it. 😎

[@juhosarkka]

Isn’t it amazing how we get to enjoy this kind of content directly from our musical inspirations? And for free. Thank you Chris ❤ P.S. waiting for the inevitable tour including the Nordic countries 😊🇫🇮

[@nikkbertschman2200]

Great fuzz. Scott is one of my favorite players. His style is killer.

[@travisbrowning1276]

Dude, yes! No one talks about The Pelt but I've loved it for years. The newer Fender Hammertone Fuzz is a modified Pelt as well and has an octave switch.

[@Kevin-the-Just]

Well done for giving the Rival Sons some love. A much underexposed band. 👍🏻

[@PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

First off great playing and great video. The secret is that almost every pedal in this line is a hidden gem at a relative affordable price. My favs are the reflecting pool, the pelt and the bends compressor. Peace

[@russellalfonso2962]

Around 1970 I purchased, at Wallich's Music City in Hollywood, a used Gibson fuzz tone pedal. I used it through a Sunn bass top and old Vox cab with two Celestion 12s. My axe was a Gibson double cutaway cherry finish Melody Maker. My mate Roger Linn created a double coil for my lead pickup.

[@chantertone]

Several other sites say they are particularly good for bass as well as guitar. On that basis I've ordered one. I like pedals that cover both. Your recommendation just got Fender another sale. I hope they recognise your contribution to The Pelt sales! 😉

[@marinstefan87]

awesome tooone ! nice fuzz pedal thanks for the review and awesome playing !

[@matekerek1039]

I've been telling everyone for years and years that the Pelt is the most versatile pedal ever. Not just as fuzz, but as an OD as well. Nobody listened. Maybe now... Thanks Chris😀

[@nuryruso4525]

I hate fuzz... Chris plays fuzz and it sounds so good. Then I hate my guitar playing.

[@smelltheglove2038]

You should give the Thorpy fallout cloud a try. It’s got an EQ section that makes it really usable.

[@alfoncesmithe]

Then take up stamp collecting & lesson to the wind

[@joequintana5546]

I completely understand this.

[@mr.k905]

Hating things is dumb and useless. Just ignore stuff you don’t like.

[@itaintmebabe714]

Fuzz sounds better with some overdrive IMO

[@sgt.grinch3299]

When I see you grabbed the Yamaha I know it about to be loud and powerful. I wasn’t disappointed.

[@glarrymoreme]

Magic as always a true guitar hero

[@alw1340]

Awesome video, great fuzz tones. Absolutely nailed the Great Western Valkyrie amp exploding tone

[@lolipoable]

Sounded really good with the clean channel

[@nord_laender]

Thanks :-) I bought a Pelt because of your video and: Yes - the first Fuzz I like!

[@trope5105]

Dude that solo was sick

[@peteyoung7665]

The best fuzz pedal ive ever heard.Cool that it works great as an overdrive/distortion pedal as well.

[@benmaguire4098]

Hey Chris .. always a pleasure to hear you play .. Many Many years ago I was told by a ' Gaggle ' (? ) of up & coming wannabe Punk musicians ( & it was not meant as a compliment ) that no matter what guitar or amp I had to play thru' You always sound the same man " lol .. I took it as a compliment & when I say to you that you have a Sound of your own I mean it as a compliment .. for me it is more about Note choices & good taste as subjective as that is .. & I think you have that .. Gr8 Tone is also a lot to do with the hands & intention .. being partly disabled & not getting out much I have not played live for a while or even been to a gig .. so it is an extra joy to see & hear you play .. Keep up the good work & all the best in you career & have a Gr8 life .. Cheers from an old Muso .. I am still noodling & still dreaming lol

[@loganme]

I got one on sale from Fender direct and it’s phenomenal.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Very cool, I had not heard of this Fender pedal, thanks Chris!

[@alfoncesmithe]

Brilliant Chris, back in the 80's the fuzz face was getting so expensive I found a "practical wireless" magazine which had the fuzz face wiring diagram in so I made it with the Romania Transmitter & WOW IT WORKED, still works today, all these stomp boxes are just a ripoff all the components are so cheap and you can easily make them your self. Great channel Chris.👍

[@beakmann]

You pay for the design, like a computer.. but you're right, the circuits are fairly simple.

[@dlux703]

The mention/reference of/to ripping velcro took me back to the mid 60s when fuzz was pretty much all we had, and during guitar overdubs we would sometimes overdub tearing duct tape lengthwise into a mic to fatten up power chords at critical accents in a mix. It can be very beefy sounding if sunk into the blend just right.

[@arottie4097]

WOW! First i've heard of this. Very cool idea!

[@robblankenstein6825]

I've said it before but those massive top string bends are awesome.

[@Ryane994]

I had a fender marine reverb it was a great pedal, lots of settings to play about with. Still have it but now use a keeper caverns for my reverb

[@maxfaith1940]

Love your playing Chris!!!

[@KeithShelley]

I'm a huge fan of the two Fender fuzzes from this line: Pelt and Trapper. The Pelt is my kind of "character fuzz" it doesn't really sound like anything else on my board. The Trapper is an all-out incredible octave fuzz with two different crushing fuzz circuits and a built-in gate; like a Big Muff on steroids with granular control. I don't know why these pedals aren't more popular; they sound absolutely fantastic!

[@arottie4097]

What will they $et ya back?

[@KeithShelley]

@@arottie4097 I got them both on Reverb a couple years ago. They were $90 each plus shipping. I think these two are out of production (at least the Trapper is discontinued).

[@ibaneztubescreamer]

10:43 sounds killer

[@ryansuma9959]

Pelt, Schmelt, what in all that is holy is that custom Gibson Trini lopez-ish (but without the hockey stick headstock) guitar??? IT's F-ING SICK!!

[@ROKZLEON]

That intro jam was bangin'!!!! 🔥

[@LetsArion]

I feel like most of the new Fender pedals are underrated! I don't own many of them but I tried almost every single one and they always surprised me and were really really good

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks Chris 😎

[@billkeaveney1526]

Sounding epic, Cheers Chris

[@davidwoods358]

It sounds immense, angry and unique and those higher notes in the intro brought out a cool octave effect. It's rare to find any fuzz with more than 2 or 3 controls (more controls means more tonal control.) I'm sold (if I can find one.)

[@roughcutguitars]

You might be thinking the Keeley FuzzBender right about there - amazingly shapeable.

[@williamadamsmusic3025]

Chris could make a poop-lined shoe with strings sound AWESOME! It's all about the player, and he's at the top!

[@yannickguitar1539]

Hi Chris! Could you please one day make a video on the Fender Bass VI ? Would be awesome. Cheers!

[@sagittated]

I grabbed a Fender Energizer Boost to go with a 2-fer sale they ran through most of 2022. My expectations were nothing, but it's really really useful. Sounds great. I run it at the end of my board to set the eq & volume the board gives the amp. The brushed aluminum feels really solid & looks beautiful. The lights on the knobs are useful and cool. It's weird how (lack of) coolness perception dominates perspective on them.

[@SandauxBeats]

Before, I sought the sounds of Smashing Pumpkins, hence I dive on and bought two EHX Fuzz Pedals, the Russian and the Op Amp. But I wasn't really connected with it so to speak. And when I watched Chris Buck playing the Mythos Golden Fleece Fuzz, I asked my friend if he could clone it, and he said yes. The pedal was phenomenal! I also have the Keeley Fuzz Bender. It's like my one fuzz to rule them all scenario after I sold the EHX fuzzes I have.

[@InsolentMusicalPeasant]

Such amazing hands

[@boringgearreviews]

Sounds tremendous.

[@less_concerned1221]

Chris Buck could find utility in just about anything you put in front of him. He’s that good! He could probably plug a Teisco guitar into a 80’s Gorilla amp and put most of us to shame….. then have everyone buying up every last one.

[@robinjgill]

Great stuff YOu had a RambleFX Twinbender which I bought and love. Since then I've started making my own fuzzes and had some great results

[@jeremythornton433]

Now that's one gnarly tone! Love it! I'd love to hear you play a Squire Thinline Cabronita Telecaster.

[@petestewart2701]

Hehe. I was waiting for this one day. Cool & unheralded pedal - just went up in price 😄

[@arottie4097]

Yup!

[@ilijapetkovski]

200.000 subs 🎉🎉🎉

[@SweetSpotGuitar]

What's really interesting about the Pelt circuit is that while the transistors are Silicon (and in fact, very common, ordinary 2N4401 parts), this is _not_ a "Silicon" fuzz. The reason I say that is because when people say "Silicon" or "Germanium" related to a fuzz, they're generally talking about Fuzz Face or Tone Bender or something like that. The Pelt has its two Si transistors in series, but not in the typical voltage feedback biasing scheme of a Fuzz Face. They are just in series and somewhat independent. The fuzz sound comes from the transistors being in pretty low voltage bias to have them be semi-gated. It's a cool and original circuit.

[@scottyldavis]

Never really been a fan of fuzz pedals, but really like the tone of the song you just played out on!! Thanks

[@tekkau2]

Thanks for sharing this , man! Its very helpful!

[@andsoistopped]

The Fender range of pedals are great. I have three on my board and they all get uesed constantly.

[@whiskeywhiskeyromeo3730]

I only have the pugilist only paid $50 cause dude said it was too noisy... 😆...it's my favorite of many distortion....some people don't u derstand volume knobs......I want more fender pedals!

[@richardembery]

Marine layer is a fantastic reverb and the bends is a great compressor. This line of pedals are as good as most out there.

[@whiskeywhiskeyromeo3730]

@@richardembery thanks buddy....I agree!! Edit: forgot to mention those are most likely my next Fender pedal used purchase!

[@andsoistopped]

@@richardembery it really is. I fact I would not have been able to make my last two albums without that reverb. The Treverb and Pinwheel also played a massive part on my last album.

[@aisle_of_view]

This gave me the warm fuzzies

[@waynepatton689]

My dad loved fuzz. His favorite were the original Fuzz Face.

[@alanbeesby2220]

YES to Rival Sons, Electric Man!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@happygster922]

From their same line, I like the MTG:LA tube distortion a lot. At ~1/4th volume and gain, it does the light gain breakup thing, but at moderate gain, it does fuzz tones quite well as well.

[@barryeinsohn2839]

Hey, I Love that Growl on the Fuzz Works, can just inhale that sound, that is my favorite sound, nice and Gritty, Fine The pedal, second one sounds great, I just LOVE THE SOUND YOU GET in the one you use in Cardinal Black, The First one The Fuzz sounds great, Although I Just Love You use on January Came Close, to me that sound makes me identify you immediately, like a Signature Sound, I love your new CD it is just so Sublime and the Guitar Solos are Captivating 💜💜💜 Lisa Einsohn 💛💛💛

[@Y4Uable]

I have the hammertone fuzz by fender and its killer too!

[@HootakaBJ]

Damn dude…. I watch just for ur pick to finger transitions!!!

[@danielsheffield445]

Thanks Chris! This is no longer 70-80 dollars ha!

[@honkytonkinson9787]

I’ve got a couple of the new Fender pedals, the pour over envelope filter and the trapper dual fuzz. I’ve never tried the pelt but I like the trapper, seems to have similar features. They’re solid pedals so far, but I don’t like how bright the on/off light is, look down and you’re blind!

[@Nif339]

Another 'not a fan of fuzz' here too, but great playing by Chris as always, wish I could play my Revstar like that...

[@kenrussell1093]

I love the way you play, more than just about anyone. With that, I agree with Jochem, in that your jams are the best. If you ever come to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area I have something I would like for you to have. I do some custom guitar builds, and the finish is IMHO, super nice and unique. I have some strat style builds, and some Tele style builds and I would like for you to take your pick. No obligations on your part, and I don't build enough of them to be a major player in the guitar business. I just see you as a genuinely nice person, and I would like to bless you with the product of my labors. And if you think I am being fruity and choose not to accept, it won't hurt my feelings (much😭).

[@tonyvardy2399]

The Fender Pinwheel is a great rotary pedal
