@Modulus_Amps here is a 2nd clip of the mkiv vintage fuzz, still sounding pretty good
They I went on that guitar breaks trips and Pete Honore (from the andertons channel etc) had a Thorpy on his board (I cant remember which it was maybe @ThorpyFX can help, it was the one that had the clean boost built in? dual pedal)
And that sounded awesome! Fuzz without the brutal flubbiness (if you didnt want it). seemed halfway between and OD/Dist and a Fuzz.
That Velevet Fuzz by Wampler sounds great. I'm looking at a high gain OD for solo's for my small board, and was thinking of a fuzz but thought it wouldnt be versatile enough, but that sounds like it covers most with the tight / big switch.
That being said I know the buffer friendly thing is vital/important to some people but the whole tone of a germanium fuzz comes from the fact that fuzzes like the fuzzface and Mk1.5 TB are virtual earth current drive inputs, like shoving your pickup straight into the - terminal in an op amp, so there’s tons of gain- and possible instability. Backing off the guitar vol is like adding the missing series resistor, which reduces gain and cleans it up making it less noisy and more stable.
That’s why it’s so important in those circuits that the pedal “sees” the pickups, that being said the benefits of loopers makes it possible to have your cake and eat it.
