Honey Pot Fuzz - Tc Electronic

[@MeatyController]

I gotta take a few minutes to let you know how much I appreciate this channel. I'm not much of a podcast guy, and I don't like many of the guitar/effects channels on KZbin either. I love your down to earth personality and laid back approach to demos. Channels like Pedals and Effects, That Pedal Show, and Eystchpi or whatever produce long, boring and irritating videos. While they are informative, I personally can't stand how hard they try to be amusing. A pair can be a good thing when there's good chemistry, but your channel is great to me because you have enough personality to carry a video on your own (no disrespect to the actual 60 Cycle Hum podcast!). Colin from CSGuitars and yourself inspire and motivate me, so thank you kindly

"there's no such thing as bad tone. There's just appropriate and inappropriate tone" YES.

[@alecjahn]

I was not expecting that clarity with the tone knob all the way down. Seems like the whole range is very usable. Good stuff!

[@YourAverageStrummer]

Please compare this to the Rusty Fuzz. Would be nice to hear them side by side.

[@RemoteAbductionArm]

Completely different pedals. No point.

[@RyanWright]

@@RemoteAbductionArm they are both Fuzz pedals. Hearing them side by side could be a useful way to figure out which "fuzz" is right for you.

This fuzz rocks. I have a fuzz problem. I want all of the fuzzes. I have a Big Muff Op Amp, and this one, and they hit all the marks. There’s also the Joyo Splinter, if you’re into Rats, and its fuzzier tones are reminiscent of the Honey Pot. Or vice versa. The three create a very fluid palette of fuzzy wuzzy tones.

[@steveweilhart2359]

never owned a fuzz pedal - was looking the dunlop fuzz face is 150.00 this was 49.00 and has a smooth type fuzz which I wanted kinda Eric Johnson type fuzz to add to a slight crunch sound which it does well - great video demo

[@smackroscoe]

Whoa! That pedal put out some righteous fuzz. $60 is the right price too.

[@xgreengasx732]

Just got one of these bad boys about 2 months ago. Love this pedal!! Prob my favorite on my pedalboard 🤘🏽 love the vid too btw

[@iduncanw]

Do you still have it and have you played it with single coils. Thinking of getting this for my Strat instead of the Big Muff.

[@intueri4672]

@@iduncanw Do you use noise gate?

[@iduncanw]

@@intueri4672 no I don't have a noise gate specifically, but I'm pretty sure my BlackStar amp has a setting to engage one.

[@cosmonautwilly]

this pedal is amazing and in the uk at the moment for £26 i would definitely take this over a big muff for price to performance

[@awwwyeaboyeeee]

Is anyone else here just to hear the sound of fuzz and has no real intention of buying another fuzz pedal because you already have plenty?

[@J4060]

Count me in.

[@chilledchad]

Nah dude I've done all I can with my amp, which is quite waspy but I want the "bumblebee" deep and low stoner doom sound.

[@SamikBhattacharyaOfficial]

Thanks a ton, man! Great help!

[@larrytaylor3684]

I’m impressed by a good percentage of these pedals. Not all are good but some hit out of the park.

[@gerardmariano2556]

I like that tone as well.

[@benasslick67]

Sounded good for stoner doom

[@Twirlyhead]

He has the tone too high in most of the vid.

[@benlogan430]

Always enjoy your videos! I find that fuzz is very sensitive to the volume pot of your guitar. I twiddle with the knob until my guitar and fuzz pedal gel. Usually my guitar is around 6-8 for optimal sounding tones and fuzz (sustain) set lower than most, 7. Then the dark goodness is revealed! And perfect amount of stripes!

[@thechannelforeverything2170]

I thought that with the tone all the way off it sounded very Green Russian-esque,great video and cool tones as always

[@Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

Ok, who's the one downvote that doesn't like awesome fuzz for an awesome price?

[@60CycleHumcast]

Blitzkrieg Wolf theres always one or two of those, I don’t get it either.

[@benlogan430]

Maybe it’s a thumbs down to the fuzz tone? Or maybe it’s Tony Cleantones?

[@Damage_Kase_99]

I’d love to hear what one of these would sound like with a tube screamer boosting it

[@seanclarke1233]

Do a solo review for the tube pilot next the clip from the tc video you did a while back is basically the only footage on youtube not including the promotional video

[@panhandlegeardemos6837]

The other thing gnarlier than this pedal is your playing.

[@hadeseye2297]

Nice you used bullet for this pedal.

[@nuss996]

Hello great video. I hesitate between the honey pot and Dolamo Fuzz. Which one is the best, which one goes more towards limit the distortion and with the most output volume? Do they have breath? (need noise gate). I want a sound like the big muff op-amp or nano Thank you

[@zachary963]

I’d personally go with the Honey Pot because I trust the brand. The op-amp big muff sound is pretty unique and weird. You may just want to save up and grab an actual op amp big muff.

[@normanroses8115]

half way btween a mrx vintage distortion pedal and fuzz isn't it ?

[@kaspermiltz7831]

pleas try the honey pot into the tube pilot! 👍🙂

is this (big muff) a rehoused/tweaked Behringer VD1 (which is a black russian clone)?

[@guntherhansmann6971]

They won't do this to a Behringer.

[@LeviBulger]

Yes basically all of these pedals are rehoused behringers

[@guntherhansmann6971]

Thanks bro this really helps I just looked up this pedal on KZbin and your video can up it was helpful 👍

[@nichtimmer9134]

Can i not use it to boost clean! a single coil-pickup??? To get more output??? ...please help, i find nothing about that! ...here it looks like it no work as clean booster, but i know not the amp, maybe it is a tube amp who get many input and is in overdrive mode!

[@Big_Coil]

Per what I can hear in this demo, his amp is set clean and all the gain we hear is from the pedal. Even when the gain is at it's minimum on the pedal it's still fuzzy. I don't think you'd be able to use it as a clean boost. You should look for a boost pedal such as a TC Electronic Spark or a low gain pedal like an Ibanez Tube Screamer.

[@nichtimmer9134]

@@Big_Coil many thanks :) ...that helps!!!

[@tastedawaste1367]

Late but the behringer super fuzz is cheap, and has a clean boost setting, 25$, plastic enclosure though

[@joshuatyson1907]

@@tastedawaste1367That isn’t a clean boost, it’s a gain boost, and even with the gain turned all the way down it still has a little fuzz. If it’s pushing a clean signal then there’s something wrong with the pedal.

only 5? one more isn't going to hurt anything.

[@johnlaycock9974]

60 Cycle Hum it will for a poor high school student who spends all his money on guitar pedals. To bad though. I love the new tc pedals

[@60CycleHumcast]

I totally understand, with 5 fuzz pedals you have way more pedals than i had in high school, I think i had a ds-1, ph-2 and a dod 7 band eq. Theres so much more to choose from these days, and a much wider range of expensive and inexpensive choices.

[@johnlaycock9974]

Btw 60 Cycle Hum which do you prefer? Rusty fuzz or honey pot?

[@60CycleHumcast]

if you are going for a velcro ripping 60s style fuzz the rusty is the way to go. If you want to sound like the 70s or the 90s the Honey Pot is the way to go.

[@yandhi5016]

You should do a video with this new pedals with the other 12 (i think) pedals that tc released last year

[@60CycleHumcast]

Most of those were given away as prizes for the podcast listeners, I do miss some of them though.

[@DerpRulesAll]

Not bad, more like a 'set and forget' kind of Fuzz, though, where you would find a home, and live in it.

[@CocoKoi321]

PLEASE this vs Big Muff

[@60CycleHumcast]

which big muff? i dont own any official EHX muffs right now but maybe i have something close to a specific flavor of muff

[@CocoKoi321]

60 Cycle Hum just the standard new muff I guess, the one people buy the most I guess The one you think it closely more represents idk Maybe borrow one?:/ And that el mocampa vs Tube screamer and maybe throw in the JHS Moonshine if you want But yeah great videos and very well recorded, great definition btw

[@HerbonGuitar]

Awesome demo thanks! What is the SG behind you?

[@60CycleHumcast]

it started out as a faded, but the previous owner refinished it a metallic sea green that flakes off very easily. I put the white pickguard on and loaded it with GFS pickups. Im honestly thinking about selling it, It plays great and sounds great but i have other humbucker guitars around that i use more often, its started to feel a bit redundant.

[@HerbonGuitar]

60 Cycle Hum cool thanks man

[@emilehobo]

I would like to bust the myth of blowing up your guitar speaker when plugging in a bass. When you stick it into a regular guitar amp, nothing strange will happen. You can only blow up your speaker when you hook a guitar speaker up to a bass amp head that has a high power rating like 2000W. That's when you might destroy your speaker, because regular "guitar speakers" can only handle about 100W, a large part of which might be a static voltage to which the output signal is added, but with an output transformer this shouldn't happen. Somewhat ironically, with a 1 Watt signal output, a 12" Celestion speaker already produces 100dB. 1 Watt on 8Ω means V^2 / R = V^2 / 8Ω = 1 Watt, so V = SQRT(8V^2) = 2.8V AC. The amplitude of the AC signal would be 2.8V * SQRT(2) = 4V. The Celestion speakers we tend to use were originally designed as bass speakers if I'm not mistaken and you would use a regular amphead to go along with those. Someone must have figured out, since mellow was the new thing, that it's also pretty cool to stick in a regular guitar into an amp like that. If you compare modern amps to for instance the Standel amps, that are actually still being produced but manually, after the power transformer mishap, you'll hear that the Standel amps the way we have gotten used to amps produce a lot of high end. Ironically, they quite frequently have 15" speakers. I think it's not due to the size, but how they are built. I think they have or had a metal center acting as a tweeter.

[@smartacus88]

Apples to oranges I know, but which do you guys prefer, the rusty fuzz or the honey pot?

[@Thruftinger]

I do like the honey pot more as I hear more clarity. To me it seems that they are both to be bought tho: - The Rusty Fuzz will be better at doing those lead tones, while the Honey Pot is rather made to do the combination of both, as well as chords as the whole lead thing

[@kohlscunty]

I know this comment is old, but I love the honey pot and dont care for the rusty fuzz. Honey pot is like a raunchier version of the green russian. Its wooly and warm but it has grit and texture. To me the rusty fuzz just sounds like one of those older fuzzes that just sounds kind of unpleasant. And not in a heavy way or a cool and unique way. Just kind of buzzy and annoying.

[@Shreddios]

This or the Rusty Fuzz for Psychedelic Rock/Blues & Doom/Stoner? Which one has more cronch?

[@lesfrithdidier2745]

The rusty is more dirty =good for stoner, sludge but the honey pot is good too! If you play stoner riffs, Try the ehx green russian fuzz (nano)!
