Foxy Brown

Ok, so I have had a few days to play with this baby.

Let me just say, this pedal is not a fuzz at all! It doesn't have the same amount of gain as the OCD. I think if you turned the OCD to about 3 oclock that's the FB on full gain.

the FB is very weird. I don't play it with my SG, it doesn't sound good at all. There's a "Sag" knob that you have to adjust depending on the volume you are playing at. It's almost similar to a "presence" knob. When I play it with my strat, I will put it on my bridge pickup and it will sound like I'm playing through an old Marshall 74x (but not really ;) ), also depends on the settings you have with it. I put it on my middle pup and it is much darker, more than usuall. Infact when you turn the gain up a little with the middle pup on, it sounds like hmmm I can't explain it but maybe like a vintage fender sounds a little past the breakup point. Very "Strokes" like.

Now on my neck pickup, this bothers me. I have no smoothe sound at all. If I leave the tone where I like it, it's too crunch and raw. If I turn the tone down it sounds too dark and distant.

But let me just say, I played Foxy Lady with this pedal, INSANE :D

By the way, this pedal does most of what the BD-2 does with the right settings. And since I will be using this with my strat the most, I am selling my BD-2. Let me know if anyone is interested.

    I might be, depends on what you want for it.
    If idle hands are the devil's workshop, he must not be very productive.

    That's why you get a fulltone '69 fuzz pedal. then use the OCD to help smooth it out some.
