GazWills Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Have to say the b3k never appealed to me at all, but i'm really REALLY itching to try out one of these, sounds like an IE oxide and a W&C pickle pie had a baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He demos some nice gear and the videos are great quality but he plays too many notes for my taste. Not being boring and miserable, I just like to hear how notes decay and if there are any envelope qualities going on between notes like swells of gain or changes to texture.

Kev Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Personally, I just think he plays through pedals like you would use the pedal for. Whereas, many demo-ists just noodle away the same kinda riff for any pedal, be it a fuzz, overdrive or filter. I swear by his demos and they completely sold me on the Iron Ether range. Albeit I have now sold all my Iron Ethers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 He's certainly not as bad as that guy who plays slap bass WHATEVER pedal he uses, which is especially pointless for fuzz pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I like the pedal - defo could be a replacement for the oxide! Guy annoyed me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBassBob Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Mind you, having a brief re-think about it, I guess it very much comes down to what genre you play primarily. I mostly play blues with some rock and pop thrown in depending on the gig. I play everything in the bedroom as I like to keep well rounded. I don't like fuzzes for playing faster things as, in my humble opinion, they get messy and lose definition (even the nicer ones with blends and the like). Personal taste I guess. I prefer something grindy if I need dirt for something faster like prog or metal. When I think fuzz I think of 60s tracks, early 90s alt-rock, stoner/doom metal. Not that I'm trying to stay in the box, just my personal taste (then again, I'm not a fuzz guy at heart! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBassBob Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 And fuzz is for synth! But I've yet to have a gig that required a synth sound (still fun for bedroom Musings ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Sounds pretty nice - I doubt ill be able to afford it to try it out though, and have to wait til they start being rolled second hand. I fully expect this to be the best fuzz ever for at least a few months.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0175westwood29 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 my fav fuzz is still the swollen pickle, at atleast half the price, does sound nice tho have to admit andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I bought the BK3. I sold it soon afterwards. I bought the Vintage. I sold it soon afterwards. Now I want the Duality!!!!!!!! Let this be the one I keep! I found alternatives for my overdrives, but as a fuzz, this is the best sounding and most interesting I've come across so far!
