Hey,
Right so I am on a bit of a Jesus and Mary Chain kick at the moment and i've built a fun little mini board to play around with some of those sort of Psychocandy sounds. I managed to pick up a JHS Supreme which is based on the Shin Ei FY-2. Reading about the JAMC fuzz tone it was largely created using a Shin Ei fuzz wah where the wah is set in a cocked wah position to add a lot of upper mid and high end frequencies and strangle a fair chunk of the low mids and bass. As I dont have space for such a pedal (plus reliability, etc) I went with the Supreme with the idea of putting an EQ after the fuzz to try and achieve the effect. Naturally i've looked at the GE-7, etc but i've also investigated things like envelope filters such as the DOD 440 (quite hard to find these days). I guess I could look at a boost or a drive as well where I am using more of the tone controls rather than the gain (the supreme has a LOT of gain already)...trouble is finding something that can carve the mids as a lot of drives seem to have an all in tone control or treble and bass. I thought i'd throw it out to the floor for any recommendations people might have that I havent considered.
Sorry for the long and winding post.
Cheers,
Chris

I have one, I've been toying with the idea of selling it but I'm still sitting on the fence - it's great for certain sounds! - but I might be persuaded
