Going vintage with Fuzz and Echo - MXR Classic 108 Fuzz Review

  • I've always been curious about fuzz pedals, but I've never dared getting one, because I knew they can be difficult pedals.
    For example germanium fuzz pedals are susceptible to temperature, and all fuzz pedals have a notoriously low input impedance which loads the guitar signal. They rely on that interaction between the fuzz circuit and the guitar to sound right.
    I strumbled upon this pedal and saw that it featured silicon transistors and a buffer switch, so I decided to try it.
    Definitely I'm not disappointed. These are some vintage tones I was able to get with only Fuzz, Vibe Machine and Echorec.
    Hope you'll enjoy. Remember to leave a thumb, subscribe and I will see you soon! 😉

    I use the OG big one and a Keeley Echoes (very similar to the Echorec).
    Great stuff! Very well played.

    Big like! Im suprised a fuzz sounds that great for soycd. Always thought it was a tube driver. Great demo. All the best for 2020. Ps i like the old man photoshop in the thumbnail 😂

    • @gilmouring
      @gilmouring  4 роки тому +2

      In 1975 Gilmour didn't have the Tube Driver, yet! So it probably was fuzz or power boost! Eheheh the old me was to give an idea of time travelling 😂

      My money is on a Power Booster into a staggeringly loud HiWatt!
      The MXR does a nice mid-2000s SOYCD live tone. It's quite similar to his Tube Driver tones from that time

    I beyond suggest the Dunlop Mini Silicon Fuzz Face. It's not super expensive and it's hard to beat the original silicon circuit.

    • @gilmouring
      @gilmouring  4 роки тому +3

      The problem with the dunlop is that it's a faithful replica of the original, therefore it has low impedance, which means you'll have to pay attention to what you put between fuzz and guitar...
      That's why I preferred this one.

    Great video. I am looking for a fuzz that will do both Gilmore and Hendrix. Does this pedal do Hendrix tones?

    Hi Tony great video! have you come across any echorec alternatives?

    • @gilmouring
      @gilmouring  4 роки тому +1

      I bet you mean "cheaper alternatives". I had in mind to try the Foxgear Echosex which for the price seems really worth it. I haven't had the chance yet. Another nice echo I had once was the Ibanez DE-7, but it lacks a tone control for the repeats...

    Great demo. I know nothing about fuzz petals, but I’m looking for something to cover Hendrix and Gilmour. Do you think this pedal would be adequate? If not what would you recommend? Thanks

    • @gilmouring
      @gilmouring  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah you need something like this, although I suggest going for something with more gain, silicon fuzz but I would go for BC183 or similar...hope this helps

    Amazing tone! very similar on Echoes. On Money solo, what doubler effect do you use here?

    • @gilmouring
      @gilmouring  3 роки тому

      No doubler effect. The used effects are in the green banner above! So only fuzz and Echorec!

    Hi Tony.. what in ur view are the top 3 most recommended Fuzz pedals (on a budget) to achieve Gilmour tones?

    • @gilmouring
      @gilmouring  2 роки тому +1

      I would go for Mooer Blue Faze for extremely low budgets, then JHS Fuzz Series 3 and the MXR Mini BC 108.
      I'm looking for something with a BC168 (if I remember) for a future review...it should have more distortion...so more juice ! 😋

      Sorry I've just seen your link. Well no, I didn't go to Pompei, because the ticket was too expensive...immediately after opening, the price reached 300€. So, with all the other expenses (I would have needed to catch a plane and probably a train too, to get there) it was really too much...
      I got the deluxe version of the album and enjoyed the Live in Blu Ray. 😊
