[@BladeDoomer86]

DOD Carcosa can get pretty filthy too, but can also be brought down to a distortion pedal style, so best of both worlds in my opinion :)

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

I love the Carcosa, it's on my board right now! I didn't feel it got to OK Doomer's thick vibes to be a good comparison, so didn't include it as it's more of a classic fuzz (and then some!) But IMO, a fuzz that no-one should be without!

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

Was looking into the Acupulco Gold, & came across a few people that mentioned that the Carcosa covers tgat territory. Bought the DOD, because knobs > knob

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

@@rocketpigrecords3719 hmmmm, the Carcosa covers a lot of territory, but I wouldn't say it does the AG/Sunn amp thing. It's basically all classic/vintage fuzz ground short of a Big Muff.

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

@Doctor Fuzz'z Dirt Box @Doctor Fuzz'z Dirt Box the "Sunn amp thing" isn't going to come out of a power amp driver in a box, or a discrete version thereof. The Beta Lead preamp is quite different. And I'd imagine a Model T likewise to have more going on. It's a cool sound but I'm not hearing the "hmmm maybe a Matamp isn't necessary" filth I get from this vid. Imho the AG was a brilliant idea because it's like 4 components in a project box getting sold for 20 bucks less than a Sovereign, and sounds good, though I think for most, the amp it's overdriving is going to be a large part of the mix. Could be wrong. YT does weird thinks like make Bad Monkeys dound like Klons. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYSTZGiXiNienZo

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

@@rocketpigrecords3719 yeah, good point on the different amp models. I think the Carcosa with just "Before" is a very good amp like drive. It's just that when you introduce "after" it's very much fuzz, so not what I'd like of going towards an amp distortion. I haven't played any actual Sunn's though, so I'm at the bay of anyone elses wisdom on that.

[@sad_yeehaw]

comparison with the fuzz war would be cool to see as well

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Great demo

[@Wolf_K]

There’s a few “alternative” Big Muff circuits out there for DIYers. Fet Muff. JFET/Mosfet Muff Mosfet/BJT Muff. CMOS Muff. IC Muff with different ICs. IC Muff with transistors in first gain stage. Transistor Muff with IC input and output stages. Etc etc All are very basic builds. With the Acapulco I found it a bit tame on its own. I run mine into a Model-T JFET box (Both DIY because I’m cheap) Adjusting the Acapulco volume really changes the texture of the whole sound. Adjusting both the model-T gain knobs (running both channels) and the Acapulco volume can yield good sounds. There’s a lot of variability in sounds. That OK pedal gut shot looks like any BMP could be made on it. Looks like a BMP with missing diodes and different values. Also, from the sound it sounds like a BMP but a little different. (There’s a tip for DIYers)

[@moo4983]

My thoughts exactly, there's even pads for the additional clipping diodes on the board design.

[@WarmProp]

[@robthebear2850]

The Aculpulco Gold is a dual LM386 op amp design (the twin 8 legged chips you see on the left). Fundamentally, the circuits could be similar (to what the 386 is doing), but the OK Doomer is more "old school" in approach - and obviously more parts. Curious what that internal trim pot will provide for tuning the gain.

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

Good info, thanks! The trim pot is for HF. I'm running it fully open in this video.

[@leeroyfunk]

mosfets in series is very similar to a lot of zvex dirt pedals: SHO is a one mosfet clean boost, superduper is two in series providing dirt as the first one overloads the second, box of rock and '59 sound are three in series with some toneshaping caps to give supposedly "amp-like" tonal response between stages, box of metal is five in series....

[@paulloesel4549]

Very cool. Try this: Dual Humbuckers - LPB-1 pedal - Acapulco Gold pedal - front input on an all tube amp.......and crank them pedals.

[@doomwizards]

LPB-1 is a very underrated pedal.

[@Da_Publick]

D@MN, I love this thing!!!! I have to say, I'm impressed with the two Muffs. They're not in the OK Doomer's class, and weren't meant to be. But they held their own, so to speak.

[@JohnnyMayHymn]

that thing is sick!

[@jackvancekirkland]

Gotta have it

[@orenom6704]

Keeley Moon fuzz is pretty similar if you look for something thats more than enough without waiting in line. I use triangle muff (muffuletta) or Waveform Destroyer for my doom and sludge sounds. And push it with a hot bluesbreaker type pedal (the broker).

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

I have a Moon. I wouldn't call it similar beyond being high gain and Muffy. The Moon has a proper massive sound but is also more focused where the Doomer is unhinged. And of course, the Moon is a bit more flexible. Incredible pedal.

[@CorbCorbin]

And the Pharaoh still reigns Supreme. 🤪 But really, don’t pay extra for the Pharaoh Supreme. My humble opinion, after getting to A/B my Pharaoh with the Supreme, is that while the idea of the pre input control, is a good one, I ended just dialing it in to tones the normal Pharaoh could already do. The extra diode settings, are fun to play around with at home, but when the drums, bass and definitely another distorted guitar(and/or keys), are in the band mix, they weren’t very usable. If one can find one for the same price new, or used, and don’t mind those enclosures, try it out. But, I would say get the Son of Pharaoh, to save board space.

The beard is well kempt; the hair is "I slept for a week and didn't attend to me hair before shooting this presentation." The hair distracts from the otherwise excellent presentations.

[@dddd717]

Why do people say the “o” part? Any way I’m digging this…does the ehx amp get dirty at reasonable volume or does it have to be cranked? Also the link to the website isn’t functioning and me too stooooopy to copy paste ( I really can’t on my cell)

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

Haha! Mostly, you're right. It's a literal picture of a sun, not a letter, but in this case, it's actually meant to be said. The EHX is stupidly loud. It'll start breaking up around 10 o'clock and not get louder, just dirtier but 9 o'clock is clean and already flattening trees! The link wasn't working properly until I verified some stuff on my account. It should be fully active now.

[@VCVRackIdeas]

Rams Head Big muff is mix ready pedal in that comparison imo, nice shhhh, doomer is way more scooped in high mids

[@KENNA25]

What's heavier the life pedal or ok doom??? / Because i have the alcapoco gold

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

"Heavier" would be subjective as the OK Doom certainly has more distortion but the Life Pedal sounds more gnarly with the octave. The Life Pedal is a Rat at heart though, so check out the Rat comparison near the end for the base sound.

[@gabrielorville5334]

So, should I get a Pharaoh then? I've been trying to get a Ok Doomer but the batches are only 20 at a time, and it's very difficult to get one.

why didn't you put the knob all the way up?

Maybe next time! For comparisons, I really needed to stay in the ballpark of the quietest pedal (the Rat) otherwise we'd be hearing more amp character than pedal character. Surface to say, as you can notice by the volume's position compared to others, it's got a lot of it.

Not sure why they went with that exactly, given that it wasn't the pedal used, but the Green is now synonymous with stoner/Doom so I think they just found that it was fitting even still.

I am impressed with the O)))k Doomer. Really good and informative demo of it. Now it's on my radar because I just love high gain nasty dirt pedals. If you ever get a chance, check out Fuzzlord Effect's Void Master. That is one hell of a nasty high gain Fuzz Face/ Damn Meathead clone. I think you may be impressed with it. The Nine Of Sword's Tyrant is also pretty high gain nasty. I also was impressed how the BAT Pharoah got high gain nasty, you are the only demo I have heard that has maxed all the settings out. I have the Hizumitas and I have to say its the most aggressive BMP type pedal I have ever heard, thats why I bought one and it stays on my pedal chain.

[@edgibborim1948]

Why's it set to weak ? 11 please !

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

Oh, it goes way past 11! But it's a volume knob, so raising it above where I had it would have distorted the amp and cloaked the pedals's tone. So I wanted you to hear just what the pedal sound was.

[@kenny6920]

Rat 2 is all you'll ever need, but this looks cool and is heavier. Rat volume control ensures you'll never get lost in a mix.

[@nef36]

The real secret to never get lost in a mix is to convince everyone to buy EQ pedals and then negotiate where each person gets to live

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

Good idea!

[@MarcAndreLevesque]

Ok Doomer is a just a regular variation of a big muff crossed/stacked with a univox superfuzz. The Acapulco Gold is two cascading LM386 opamp with an INSANE amount of volume, you need to boost a cleanish tube amp (Matamp, Orange OR "anything" ) with it to get it to sound really good. Two different animals, both are cool and good though. As for the Huzumitas, the main goal is a big muff that is not mushy and lost in the mix, not maximum gain and doom, it is the best big muff ever made in my books, thanks to Wata and Jamie for bringing this to the world.

[@doctorfuzzzdirtbox]

I think so too, particularly when i listened back to the recording. they both definitely aim for the same sound, which is probably that "Sunn" sound.

[@jaredt3985]

Agreed. It’s the reason why the AG is so popular for live use, it cuts through much better than 99% of fuzz pedals out there. This pedal does sound very similar, I can see it exploding in popularity for that exact reason.

The Pharao in this comparison sounds also veeeery similar, only a bit less low end, which in a live context can be beneficial...

the BD2 totally could be a similar circuit the theories you described were all silly. Like looking at a Ferrari engine and thinking its the same as an LDV van engine because its git 8 cylinders. Or denying an old Lambourghini can do 130 mph because "that's a block that came out of a Tractor and they are slow". None of these theories are founded in reality. You could use the exact same components and just order them different and the pedal would sound totally different

Thanks for the info. If you could explain in any more detail, that'd be great. As I state in the video, I'm a layman. I picked these pedals for what might be theorised the pedal is like or based on.

[@theodorsloth2194]

@@clydebillingsworth8574 Yes, if you want the grit on the top, the Submachine exspecially in octave up mode is better. Moreover its suboctave is groundshaking. If you like grid, you could also chose the first version of the DBA Fuzzwar oder Zvex Mastotron or stack any octave up fuzz into a Muff (scooped) or Rat (middy). If the Doomer like other similar pedals is based on on or two LM386 chips, it has another problem: Its noisy and it has high power consumption up to 100mA because, the LM386 is actally a power amplifier. Compared to a Muff (2..3mA) this is very much current. For example the digital Boss RV-6 needs roundabout 70mA.
