The Hyper Fuzz was my only drive pedal for years, it makes me really happy that this absolutely bonkers fuzz is getting so much love 15 years later :) granted, i only used it in Boost mode, which I think is really overlooked! Has anyone tried this with the Boss?? Factoid: i think this phenomenon arises due to the switch being "make before break", where the lead is never left floating between outputs. The alternative is for the switch to open ch1 before closing ch2 etc.

One of the things you'll notice whether it's an overdrive, fuzz or distortion pedal, the hi knob always makes everything sound super thin. Best setting for me has always been 9oclock or less and then adjust the treble on the amp to taste to bring back some clarity. Not sure how this pedal performs for fast parts because most fuzzes don't take fast playing very well. This problem is always easily solved by stomping on a overdrive placed first in the chain going into fuzz then into amp.

I just received one a few days ago. I like the mid heavy selection (#1) most except it’s more mids than I would normally want. The scooped sound (#2) I don’t like much at all. Only way I can keep 2). from sounding buzzy is to turn the treble down a little more but the mid heavy one has endless sustain and a great aggressive sound. Thanks for revealing the secret mode, I would’ve never thought of it. With both on it sounds almost like it’s smoothing out the mids by raising #2) and lowering #1). The secret mode is definitely the best!

I have been looking for that NIN bass tone and that's it. I use a compressor and overdrive going into the super fuzz on 1.5 mode with the bass dimed, and treble about noon. A noise suppressor at the end, and there it is. Warm, fuzzy, rumbling, with no extra noise. Another alternative is to get 2 SF300s and have one on boost mode, going into the other on 1.5, with a noise gate.

What I've learned is to stay with what I really need from a pedal and that in itself can be cost-effective. I may have tried 7 or 8 chorus pedals before I decided the Behringer suited just what I needed. If I were recording for something truly professional, then my decision would likely change.

I'm sure others have tried this ... but you can use the exact same inbetween setting with mode 2 and the boost, and that's oddly interesting, as you get quite a weird mix ... of your clean sound +boosted+ so well defined plus a underneath fuzz ... the downside is that boost at least on the admittedly only a few setting I tried amplifies the noise floor so is a rather noisy affair ... but I would say interesting enough to ay with, plus a noise/gate ... may help

Nice - need to pick one of those up. Though this makes me want to mod it for better reliability of selecting those halfway modes; you'd basically be swapping in a Strat-style 5-way switch for the little slider. Not sure how hard that'd be to do on the board; the difficulty would depend on whether the slider is surface mount like (presumably) most of the components. If it is it'd be harder but still doable.

@EricMerrow 3 жыл бұрын

It’s definitely a doable mod. However, I tend to not recommend modding these pedals just because it’s a pain in the ass and for ~$30 you could get a 2nd sf300 and the parts to build a Y split box then you could run both in parallel just like it’s doing in the 1.5 setting. It’s just perspective though - that’s just my opinion. But if you want to mod them, it would be approximately as difficult as modding a boss pedal since they’re similarly sized.

I found setting 2.5 to be less useful bc the volume of the boost channel and fuzz 2 channel is really mismatched. But if you have the pedal, definitely try it out and hear for yourself!

Dang it! My pedal is backordered until next month. Now I am even more impatient.

@@EricMerrow Thanks. They say that patience is a virtue.......that I don't have much of. Haha. I'm normally a Prog-Metal guy with some Thrash and Death Metal influences but recently discovered a few Doom bands and began the search for getting that sound. I came upon the video you did previously and promptly ordered it.

How is this fuzz into a crunch amp ? I'm asking this, because I do it with all my fuzz pedals except the Big Muff ones.

@EricMerrow 11 ай бұрын

I’m sure it would work really well into an amp that’s already driven!

Nice Eric I'll have to try that with my SF 300. How does it react to active Pups? Peace Bro.

Great question! I was using my SG with a bit hotter bridge pickup, and it seemed to be hitting a threshold of some sort so it kinda sounded a bit muddy. When I switched to my Jazzmaster, it sounded and felt quite a bit more normal. If your pickups are hot, I’d just recommend trying to utilize the volume knobs. I’m sure that would help! Thanks for watching!

I wonder how hard it would be to mod the switch for one that does 1, 1+2, 2 and Boost instead of just a 3-way toggle. Would a pot let you blend between modes?

@EricMerrow 3 жыл бұрын

That's a good question. I honestly don't know. I would assume if you found the right switch, you could mod it but I'm not sure if it would be worth the headache/hassle. Thanks for watching!

@unsoundmethodology 3 жыл бұрын

You couldn't use a single pot to mix the two together without more circuitry; it's essentially a dry/wet mixer but with two different wet channels. The minimum, to my understanding, would be a double pot wired to cross-fade between the signals, but that also cuts each channel's level by half at the midpoint.

Wait 'til the Behringer Waza Craft drops with a 1.5 mode switch by default lol I have one of these on order, can you wedge it between fuzz 2 and boost too?

@EricMerrow 2 жыл бұрын

You can do a mode 2.5! It doesn’t sound as good to my ears. I really think 1.5 is where the sweet spot is

Try experimenting with all the settings -- this may never get to be your favorite pedal, but it has a lot going for it. Try it with all settings at halfway and go in both directions - sometimes less is more... especially the gain and level. It is better than all the fuzzes that sound like "velcro." (Altho some people love the velcro sound)

How would this pedal sound hooked to the Blackstar fly 3 w/extra cab( 6 watt output). Is it worth buying or will it not show it's full potential?

@EricMerrow Жыл бұрын

I cannot say how the pedal would sound with that amp as I have not tried the black star amp. However, this pedal is really fuzzy and gainy so I bet it would be a fun pedal to run into any amp!
