I've had this pedal for about a year now and it's my go to fuzz! Absolutely killer tones with either strat or LP into a Victoria 20112. Thanks for making this video!
Sounds fantastic, I have the ods1 and it has trim pots, but it’s not a big issue on that pedal as you would set it and leave it. On this pedal though that bias trim pot for the GE transistor seems like it would make a whole lot more sense to make that a pot accessible along with the feel and tone controls. Probably going to buy still though
I totally agree with you on that one. It's a real pain trying to adjust that thing for quick changes in tone/feel. Can't really do it without a clear view of the trim pot too. The level is also insanely high and a little ridiculous for the average player, although it's manageable if you just keep it low. I think they should have tamed that a bit for the production model, and left Josh Smith's personal one how he likes it. Other than that, I've kept it since I bought it and it's a wonderful stand alone fuzz that works very well even on a straight clean channel, and it has tonnes of sounds in it.
@@jamesemerson4102 yeah I’m trying to decide between this and the SM fuzz, the myriad has more tweak-ability, but not sure if I’m really going to use it if the controls aren’t easily accessible. First world problems 😂
@@pjbarford It's a great fuzz. I'd like to try the SM fuzz too. At least with the myriad, the feel and tone knobs are easily accessible and work pretty well. It's just the trim pot. I don't tend to change it that much but every now and then I change it up.
Sweet man. I am using a Bondi Breakers for my lead sound at the moment and I am loving it. This pedal should be on more boards IMHO. I would love a Jan Ray type pedal for a clear low gain sound. That sounds great and I don't have the money anyway to be paying more for pedals at the moment 😂
How’s the breakers? I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. I own the Myriad Fuzz, Jan Ray and the TSV808. Vemuram is my favorite brand at the moment but Bond is great too. A lot of people love the Del Mar and I’ve read the Breakers is just the Del Mar with more gain. Mateus Asato uses the Jan Ray and Breakers as his lead tone ( or at least his was for a while ) Is the Breakers like a Morning Glory of King of Tone? I’m assuming it does it’s own thing. Btw, this fuzz is ridiculous lol I love it and owned a lot of fuzz pedals. This smokes my King Tone and every other fuzz I’ve owned. This demo really shows how powerful wicked it is. Great demo!
@@jordandangelo180 thanks man! So Bondi effects works out of the same workshop as my friend who built my amp. He gave his feedback on the del mar to make it more of a lead pedal. Some values were changed etc and so the del mar became the breakers. I had a breakers then went on a long journey of trying boutique pedals. Kingsleys, Vemuram, all kinds. I have come back to the breakers as my favourite of all. The gain is always smooth. It's very hard to get any fizz out of it at all. Smooth, clear, dynamic. When you first try it, it may not stand out because it's so smooth and subtle... But turn it up and listen to it. Fantastic!! Works with humbuckers and single coils. I love the Vemuram fuzz. It sounds awesome even into a completely clean amp.
Have the Jesse Davies Mini Fuzz Ge, which is killer pedal, but this pedal is amazing! You can really dial in the tone in ways that are incredible...AND it sounds ABSOLUTELY KILLER in every setting! There would be a ‘pedal board’ fight if I had them both 🙄
I actually bought the kingtone fuzz and I enjoyed it but it didn't work into a clean amp. This pedal absolutely does so I ended up selling the kingtone and keeping this one. It's really great man! They should probably tame the level a bit though. This pedal is LOUD. Thanks for the comment 🙂
The Kingtone ge fuzz didn't work for me either I use a 100 watt Tonemaster and it's clean as well I'm using a Fuzz Phonix EXP CV7005 fuzz and so far so good Sweet clean up
Haha, thank you! No I have not. I will be sure to check it out though. This is a great fuzz. I also really liked the Diaz squareface. They are rare though and pricey. I love a good fuzz face into a slightly dirty amp... but this myriad fuzz sounds really good into a completely clean signal which is cool!
@@jamesemerson4102 I just bit the bullet and ordered the McKeon one. I kind of need one that's good straight into a clean amp so it'll be interesting to see what this can do! If you UA-cam 'the mista kings' and listen to the 'ey up' one, both Scott mckeon and Ben Jones in the wooly hat use the fuzz for their solos. (Ben Jones is my fav!)
@@BandyBorehole I just had a listen. Sounds great! can hear those harmonics coming through in that fuzz tone. I love that. The Myriad does that really well too and that's why I love it so much.
@@jamesemerson4102 yess that's exactly why I've bought it! So many upper harmonics and it does that modern gated spitty sound but in a tasteful way. I'll let you know what I think, if I remember.. it's coming in February!
I don't like over the top or wooly/spitty fuzz I'm all about the clean up I've been using a Fuzz Phonix EXP fuzz So far so good Actually had some nice pricey ones but they either had too many knobs lol or just didn't do it for me The EXP is a two knob faithful FF clone w CV7005 tran Really like it...oh yeah it's pretty quiet too even w both control's maxxed
I would love to try more fuzz pedals. I absolutely love the clean up as well. This one is a bit different because it really works into any clean amp and sometimes sounds like a straight up overdrive pedal. It's very loud though!
Yeah, it's really a VERY versatile fuzz... and as Josh Smith says, it's very hard if not impossible to get a bad sound out of it. I am not one to usually fall for the boutique brands. I don't have a lot of money to spend on this stuff, but I bought it because I was in Japan and I happened to try it out there. Was a bit cheaper there, too. I love it!
Demo and playing are nicely done 👍 Everything sounds a little over the top. Seeing the knobs below 9 o clock creating such a high fuzz and output level, I fear that there’s not much dynamic left other than louder and more distorted. I didn’t like the clean up. It left something at the end of the note that I don’t have with my fuzzes. Probably a great pedal for many players, but this time not my cup of tea ✌️🎸✌️
Thanks for watching the demo mate! yeah, it's not for everyone. It's a very aggressive fuzz, but I actually love it a lot because I sometimes use it as basically an aggressive overdrive. It can get really focussed and tight. It's not really like a vintage fuzz at all. Two things I would change about it would be the amount of level (insane!!) and also as you say even with the fuzz all the way down it's still quite driven, but still a lot of awesome sounds in this pedal. I've still got it and probably won't get rid of it. Can never have enough fuzz!
I heard somewhere this pedal is designed to be loud! that its not a good choice for home/bedroom use...true? Im hoping not so because I would love to have one...
Thanks for watching the demo! 😊 I was actually just running straight into an interface using guitar rig for this one. I used the tweedman amp model which is basically similar to a fender bassman. One of the things I live about this pedal is that yes it sounds wonderful into a clean amp. The amp was set clean in this demo the whole time.
Yes it does for sure. It just has a HUGE amount of level available if you need it. However, you can see here that I have the volume right down. It still sounds awesome and works fine. Thanks so much!
This is my favorite fuzz of all time and Vemuram is my favorite pedal company. I was all about King Tone for a while and they are great but Vemuram creates and brings out the sounds you hear in your head. This fuzz especially. It does everything like you said. It’s a time chasers dream come true. The Jan Ray is the best overdrive too and the TSV808 is the best Tube Screamer. Awesome demo 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 not sure if you mentioned it but what are you using amp wise?
I love this fuzz. I love the octave sounds that creep through and I love how it works into a clean platform. I am just using guitar rig with the tweedman amp model in this demo.
@@jamesemerson4102 A Tweed amp model. Excellent choice for demoing a fuzz. That clean up was so good it was hard to believe. The fuzz went from smooth and sustained to one of the nastiest, spitty fuzz tones and then to a perfectly, glassy, crystal clear cleaned up tone. A lot of fuzz pedals that get that gnarly do not clean up that well, especially Big Muffs.
@@jordandangelo180 Yes it is really a great fuzz. Very versatile and it also sounds very good into a completely clean amp unlike a lot of fuzzes I have tried. The level is a bit hard to tame but manageable. Maybe they could just chill out with the level a bit for the production line pedals. Josh likes it to be particularly loud.
Hey Robert, I would say you would probably get closer with something like a vintage style fuzz face. There is a video on the Kingtone germanium mini fuzz that compares it directly to the Eric Johnson Fuzz.
With the hotter bias, the fuzz sounds "Spittier" and almost a gated sound. With the bias set to cold, the tone is smoother and not as spitty. With a cold bias, it is more like a smooth overdrive.
Just the Myriad by itself in this one. I will do a video soon of my whole board as I have been meaning to do that but this is just the pedal on it's own into a clean amp. It sounds even better into a slightly overdriven amp but works great into a clean channel as well.
I don't like fuzz but after hearing this.. I still don't like fuzz. Haha really though I can totally get why someone would adore this. I do have a EQD hood it's ok really but just not my style I think
Sure, it's not for everyone! for me it's the iconic sounds of Hendrix that got me into fuzz, mainly. I just love the texture of it. A good fuzz also feels sort of satisfying under the fingers. Hard to describe, but if you play a good one, you know!
Thanks for watching! I think it's great for people who haven't always gotten on with traditional fuzz. It is tighter and more like an overdrive in that wasy, and has more 'filth' on tap for running into a clean channel. Some traditional fuzzes don't sound great into a dead clean channel and they need the amp to be screaming loud or to be run into a dirty channel on the amp.
Excellent demonstration. Well done
Mighty fine chops sir!! I have a feeling I'll want every pedal I hear you play through 😆
I've had this pedal for about a year now and it's my go to fuzz! Absolutely killer tones with either strat or LP into a Victoria 20112. Thanks for making this video!
beautiful demo! how does Vemuram compare to Berkos Fuzz? I'm torn between the two
Some lovely sounds and all round great player here! Thank you
Thanks mate I appreciate that!

Great Demo and great players
Subbed... I love my Vemuram pedals, they're so very, very good...nice demo bud...
If you haven’t, grab a DCW Jam Ray on reverb or on his site. I actually prefer it to the Jan Ray. It’s hand wired and $106 shipped.

How is it for loudness? Do you feel like it adds a lot of DBs even at low volume settings
Very loud but it's not an issue if you just keep it low on the dial.
Do you think you could get Eric Johnson tones from this?
Hey Robert, I would say you would probably get closer with something like a vintage style fuzz face. There is a video on the Kingtone germanium mini fuzz that compares it directly to the Eric Johnson Fuzz.
This fuzz is awesome though IMO. I really enjoy it. This and the Diaz squareface are some of my favourites

Dont understand the difference between bias hot or bias cold?!

Fuck Yeah!
Far out

@@markokrstanovic3444 and thank you for watching!
Guessing this is extremely loud as you basically have it at zero on the volume

The Hoof tries to be a Muff and a Bender, and ends up neither.It's fine if you dig high gain.
This could be the most musical fuzz I've ever heard. Really having a hard time not loving it! But sooo pricey.
