Wattson Classic Fuzz (aka Super Fuzz)

Hi all,

just wanted to share with you all what a fantastic fuzz this really is.

Supposedly a clone of the Shin-ei Duo-Fuzz (aka the Shaftesbury Duo-Fuzz). I haven't compared it yet (I don't have a PP3 to hand!), but it's immense. Sounds like an inferno.

Instant Hugh Hopper circa Soft Machine Volume Two.

That's all! Phew! Got it off my chest.

I think I vaguely remember Justin Meldal-Johnson mentioning these over on talkbass. Basically, If I remember right, he said something along the lines of them being pretty outrageous and great for getting those good old Jesus & Mary Chain fuzz tones.

He did also include however, that an EQ pedal would probably be required after one to replace the bass suck caused by the Super Fuzz.

Okay folks,

here are some demos.

4 files:-

1. The Shaftesbury Duo-fuzz, in tone position 1
2. The Wattson SuperFuzz (nka Classic Fuzz), in tone position 1
3. The Shaftesbury Duo-fuzz, in tone position 2
4. The Wattson SuperFuzz (nka Classic Fuzz), in tone position 2

Apologies
(i) to people with perfect pitch (I didn't tune to concert pitch before recording these bits), and
(ii) the late great Hugh Hopper for choosing a couple of his riffs to approximate to for thie purpose of this comparison

Have fun!

- Nick.
