      I remember when i used to have relationships & breakups. They always seemed to end in such devastating sadness at the time. Little did I know that was just useful preparation for what comes in the remaining 2/3 of ones life. If I were better at playing music, I could have written some very pithy song lyrics about it. And i guess got a teenage girl to mope around mumbling them and sell a billion copies! Oh well, I’m sure someone will have the idea before long...

    You need to turn up the bass knob in the Okko Holy Grit to use it like a fuzz. That pedal deserves a whole episode.

    • @okkofxofficial
      @okkofxofficial 8 місяців тому +1

      Aha, this guy gets it. Yes, the Bass knob is pre gain, you will get thicker fuzz type of tones by maxing it out. Not Fuzz like ToneBender Fuzz but fuzzy sounds. 😊
      Anyway, thanks Dan & Mick for the awesome feature! We are very very grateful! ❤

    Thanks for continuing with "Noel's knobs"! I think most of us out here appreciate it to give some context to what you're doing. I love watching you guys play fuzz pedals, they sound fantastic and brutal, but when i play it can sound quieter, flubby and with no definition at all. Noel's knobs showed just how low the volume knobs were set on the MIG50s, so i did the same and set my JTM45 at around 3 and such a revelation! Thanks so much for all you do 😊

Would love a bit of a history lesson on octafuzz because it's just one of those things that I've never really appreciated and I wonder if it's because I don't understand where or how it came to be.

    Seems the trick with a great fuzz is getting frequencies that will cut and sing, without those harsh extra-high frequencies. I hear those nasty frequencies in the Ross, and somewhat in the Cornish. Cunningham gets it right imo.
    And - although I have my doubts it will cut in a mix - that Big Muff sounds fantastic.

    Had one of those muffs and sold it thinking I’d never need anything as sordid. Years on, they’re unaffordable. But it allowed me to go on a small muff journey, so that’s good. Still using the Bigfoot King Fuzz. Went around the houses with fuzz - but that’s the one that seems to be hanging around. Perhaps because it’s not a trad
    fuzz. That Cunmingham btw - that thing is killer. Stellar ending btw. More noise pls. ✌🏾

    Had that same SG model, but with a fixed bridge (SG Standard 61). The most friendly guitar I ever had. It played nice with everything I threw at it, amp, pedal, amp setting, just about anything. It was hard to get a bad tone out of it. Since Dan pulled out his SG, I kept thinking, that’s it, it’s the always good tone guitar. Then at the the two of you had a hold my beer moment and almost make me fall off my chair. Finally. Not surprised it had to be an unhealthy about of fuzz pedals all on to push that guitar over the edge. Lol Thanks for the wonderful show and the laugh. Cheers

    Epic review Leg Ends, I find the whole Fuzz thing very Marmite & I always think I'm in the urg camp, until I hear it in a mix . For me when I hear it on its own I don't see the attraction but that's like a lot of things, sometimes things are more than the sum of their part's. I'd say they must be a tough sell , because unless you know what your doing you wonder??? , where as if a novice plugs into a decent delay or reverb or overdrive you can instantly see the appeal. Or maybe that's just me. Thanks again, see you on Monday. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
