Lobster fingers Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I stumbled across Nine of Swords Fuzz, a British maker of Fuzz pedals. I'd love to support a British company, but has anyone bought one of their pedals or know if their pedals are good for bass? http://www.thefuzzshack.com/#/shop/4561989922/Nine-of-Swords-Pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Some cool stuff on there - the style and graphics remind me a lot of the Devi Ever stuff. I may take a punt at the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I just got a secondhand Tyrant. I don't think it's stock as it has a switch that changes the sound. I believe it's a Meathead and the switch changes it from the light to the dark version. Frankly, it sounds ace. The light setting's really retro-ey, but there's quite a bit of bass lost. I reckon it'd be good for doing the clavi part in Superstition, for example. The dark setting is a monster. As far as I can tell there's no bass loss. It also seems like it'd stand out in a band better than a big muff, but I haven't tested it yet so no guarantee. I'd have to say, for the price it's pretty darned good. Pretty pretty good.... I'm definitely interested in trying some of the others. I'm not in work today but I'll get some clips up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzonaut Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Have been to the shack as well, interesting pedals, great prices ... oh and I really like the looks too. Dropped Jonathan a line, nice guy, and he said the Tyrant and the Twin Earth are the most "bass friendly" - Hand of God and SF Ritual less so. The Tyrant started out as a meathead clone and has been tweaked over the years to "give an even heavier and meaner sound", as he put it. As I'm already having a meathead dark clone coming my way I'll just put the fuzzshack on my to watch list for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster fingers Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Just ordered the Twin Earth from Nine of Swords. Sounds mean on a guitar, hope it sounds good on bass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster fingers Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've now received my Twin Earth pedal. I like it a lot, but there is some loss of low end. However, I compensate for this with the clean signal mixed in with a Boss LS-2. I've only used it at home, so I've no idea whether this would work in a band situation. It is I believe like a muff (although I could be wrong), but has a harsher fuzz at the more extreme settings. The alpha omega switch is supposed to change from retro to modern fuzz, but both sound pretty similar to me. The chaos setting is fun, mad and chaotic, but I'm not sure you would ever use it, as this setting makes a real racket without actually playing anything. Overall, a great pedal if you like noise and want something a bit different. Best of all its British, relatively cheap and I have done my bit to support what little British Industry we have left.

Left Foot Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks for heads up. Ive just moved a dwarfcraft on for having the same deal with the noise generation when on max settings.
