WOW! I never wanted a Klon until now! DIdn't know it could work as a clean boost - I just went and bought two! Thanks JHS!

[@NikeaTiber]

"I can make a clean boost in like 10 seconds with a single transistor." Oh hell yeah. After I had built a fuzz face and a rangemaster in high school I hacked together a clean boost with a mosfet, a couple of resistors, a 9 volt battery connector and a piece of perfboard about the size of a US penny that I found while cleaning out the physics lab at school. This all hid neatly in my strat and was my "secret sauce" for a few years. The gain was controlled via the guitars volume knob and the battery was only connected if the guitar was plugged in. I was pretty proud of myself at the time, and looking over what I just wrote I guess I still am.

i've learned throughout the years (and thanks to this channel) that price doesn't matter, i buy pedals because i like their visuals, the mythology behind it (besides of how they sound of course) but i could play with just about any gear at that point and nobody would tell the difference. listening to that first jam though, that bass & drum mix is insanely good, no wonder any pedal sounds killer with you guys

I spent $1200 of my student loans on sparkly yellow Effectrode Helios tube fuzz like Gilmour used. It’s like jewelry it’s so beautiful. Since then I’ve bought & sold 3 boards of pedals, but the Helios stays as my favorite. …bc the next Helios that came up sold for like $350, so if I’m doomed to lose that much $ on it, I might as well have the pedal to show for it. Funny thing though, it also meant I kept it long enough to learn it, & it’s now my fave bc of its fuuunky fat fuzz tone.

I can't believe no one has discovered the secret to why Klons sound so good... Tone Metal.

The atomic structure of their boxes is what totally makes this pedal worth $6000.

A weird anecdote: the original fuzz faces sound different if you don’t screw on the back cover.

[@BennieTarrMusic]

I once read that Eric Johnson would take the screw out of his fuzz face and use a rubber band to hold it together, because he insisted that the screw affected his tone...

[@BennieTarrMusic]

@@less_concerned1221 Ha! Is this true!?! Eric Johnson uses a rubber band to hold it together.

[@less_concerned1221]

@@BennieTarrMusic absolutely true. And the battery type makes a difference in the Germanium fuzz pedals. Lead acid and alkaline sound different. It’s kind of weird and I didn’t believe it until I tried it. It’s not with all pedals though. Sometimes you don’t notice much of anything. And I’ve measured the voltage with a meter. When a 9v starts to dip around 7.5 -8VDC you can hear the difference. It has less of a hard edge to the fuzz. Some people feel that it’s a little more musical. Notice in the video about the Boss Tonebender that it has a voltage sag switch. It’s there for a reason.
