Thanks for posting this Chris! It’s cool to see and hear your playing and your shared knowledge of what we should be tuning in to when you’re applying your R2R magic to these iconic circuits- I love these vids and your anticipated Selmer Buzz Tone circuit will be an instabuy for me!

Great work as usual Chris! All the best, Steve C

Selmer is the most fun sounding to my ears. All very cool to see and hear! Thank you for the demo!

[@ChrisVanVincent]

There is definitely something about that Selmer that sounds just right!

[@paoloferrata8504]

I love fuzz especially the early ones

[@rettsmithmusic]

[@keiranbradley3238]

Pure gravey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,those DeArmond amps are incredible too!.

[@r2relectric]

@@keiranbradley3238 I love that amp so much!

[@kevindrake7562]

killer all around, guitars, pedals, and playing!

[@r2relectric]

@@kevindrake7562 thank you!

Awesome video. After building fuzz pedals for several years I have found they are easy to make and can do overdrive to fuzz with just one transistor and four or five components. Now it's more cost to build a new circuit and house it when new pedals cost 15$.

[@starry6589]

With the zonk and silvertone you got like an early White Stripes sound, sounded really sick

[@markrodriguez4105]

Selmer sounds awesome 👌 👏

[@r2relectric]

Definitely one of my favorites, that’s for sure!

[@Globularmotif]

Holy shit a Selmer Fuzz! Cleans up beautifully too...

[@r2relectric]

@@Globularmotif it’s a really great pedal, love that thing!

[@EdgeofBreakup]

Fuck yes! Amazing. So great to hear all these circuits. Royer R10 sounds great on the amp too, swear by that one!

[@r2relectric]

Thank you brother! I really wanted to share how cool these original fuzzes really are. Not everyday you get all these together in one room

[@paoloferrata8504]

Dude i love them all

[@deffaklumpen]

Love the video man, great format.

[@r2relectric]

Thank you so much!

[@paoloferrata8504]

You should do maestro and moserite fuzzes to like the fuzz-tone fz-1 fz-1a fz-1b and the fuzzrite theyre awesome

[@r2relectric]

I’ve got 3 FZ-1 from this same collector in the shop now. So that’s definitely in the works. I’m hoping to do many more videos like this one!
