Apparently it's part Fender Hammertone and part Fender Pelt, according to those who have looked at the circuit.

This is an op-amp vs silicone, which the Hammertone fuzz is based on.

I have one of the original run already!

@@silverdragon0000120 yeah, definitely got that splatty glitchy thing when cranked. It's fun 😂

I gotta agree with you. It really sounds a bit bad ... maybe we're too used to EHX Big Muff, for example ... that's one heck of a fuzz box!

@@rockdanger it's just another flavour of fuzz. Ever played the Superfuzz? Pete Townsend used them a lot and those have a similar vibe to this at times. It's supposed to sound face-ripping and nasty. Smooth fuzz has its place for sure, but so do the raspy ones. To each their own.

By far the best guitar review video I’ve ever seen. No intricate finger style or shredding. Just the plain old cowboy chords that most of us play more often than not. There is no better way to judge the sound of an instrument than someone playing it the way you do. Be well.

@@michaelcaplan9852 Thank you so much! I often struggle to find reviews of just *normal* people playing normal guitar, especially something slightly high-end, so it made sense to do one that I'd be happy to find. I guess I need to record the sound with a better mic maybe and not chat too much but, hey, that's me I guess. Stay safe, and thanks again for the kind words

I just had the Quilter turned RIGHT down. My VibroChamp sounds best with a low power speaker so I didn't want to change it just for a test. The Champ has a very different sound which is one I love (it's my main house amp, love it dearly) and the Quilter is more of a functional tool. It doesn't sound the best, but 'it will do'

You get the option to include them or not 👍🏻

I bought it from an old guy who thought it was an 80s LP. I didnt know anything about vintage Gibsons so took his word for it. I was only later, through friends seeing pictures, that the truth came out

@@TheMuseumOfMistakes thats pretty awesome. I once got a gretsch princess in pieces for 400 it was worth 2500. Nothing like that lp though. Were the frets on the 56 completely worn down to the board?

​@@Airhead348thankfully it was refretted back in the 90s so was super lovely to play.

@@Airhead348 Thats still a great find! Well done. Fortunately the frets had been replaced a couple of decades ago and were just a little bedded in. Perfect

It's good fun. Very different to guitar!

Yeah, even when I find a '56 pickup to replace it I'll probably just pop it in the case as the '68 one, as you say, sounds great. There is hum if you point it the right direction towards the amp but single coils often have a sweet spot in that regard. My house is also pretty well grounded with no dimmers or neons anywhere. Thanks for the positive words re: playing. I'm pretty limited outside of my own stuff and style but I tried to show a bit of a range as I know people online like to hear all sorts. I always make sure to play big open dirty chords though as people seem to skip that a lot and go straight to showing off their lead licks.

I agree. It's P90s definitely have a similar immediacy to them

Thank you!

Thank you! You're not wrong. I wish I had the setup to record it properly but a phone is too easy and convenient

@@TheMuseumOfMistakes i think it probably represents very well what most of us would hear if we were sitting in our own rooms wanking away like this. Running it through the laptop and a bunch of software does nothing to demonstrate the real life sounds and all the vibrations and rattles. It's a good demo, I like it. Fantastic guitar.

It has + and - terminals on the back for the remote "microphone" (which is a speaker that picks up the sound of a crying baby and transmits along the wire). I just jerry-rigged a 1/4" onto that temporarily to test it.

@@TheMuseumOfMistakes I managed to pick one up on eBay yesterday, really interested to see how it is using the 12AT7 for ALL the amplification
