Itchy pedal feet

Travisthedog

I've been gigging with a hand wired Mad Professor Little Green Wonder for a good while now. Over a year in fact which for me is like 100 normal years in pedal terms. I did sell it but then bought it back again sharpish

But inevitably I'm getting itchy feet. The last few gigs didn't really float my boat sound wise and I'm starting find it a bit shrill if I'm honest.

I want a big warm fat fuzz overdrive sound that sounds ace with a strat or jazzmaster into a clean fender amp.

I'm wondering about going back to my last long term squeeze, a box or rock

Why do we do this - why is a pedal that I've loved for ages suddenly not cutting the mustard?!!!

Fuzz OD?

You want a Keeley Fuzz head!

I just so happen to be selling one

Fuck off?

Really?'n

And people think I'm nuts for keeping hold/acquiring more dirt pedals.

It's all true

It's an OD that gets more fuzzy as you crank it.

Mine is the old Red version a bit bashed but boxed. 

£60 to your door?

Warm fat fuzzy overdrive? Not cheap but sticking with Mad Professor the Amber Overdrive is superb. This thing has zero hype or profile, so putting down 200 notes on one was a big leap of faith for me but it's a corker.

Fast forward to 2:30 in the below and you can here mine. I also run a LGW which is earlier in the vid if you want a direct comparison.

Very nice that Amber sounds sweet. Has anyone got a Mad Professor pedalboard? I have a mighty red and a Sky Blue which have a great flavour.

Both my recommendations would be a Fuzz factory or a Swollen pickle. Not quite an overdrive with a bit of fuzz, more outright fuzz but both can be made more distortion like. 

Sounds like you use the same stuff as me (Fender amp and a Jazzmaster) The fuzz factory on my setup is glorious. Fatter than vanessa feltz locked in a cake shop

All those in favour of renaming pedal GAS "IPF" or "IPFS" - Itchy Pedal Feet/Itchy Pedal Feet Syndrome... say I! 

I! 

:P

@dindude That's a really nice run through of your board. Like it a lot.

When someone says fuzzy overdrive, I think of the red llama.
