stewblack Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 I got to chatting with a guy on FB. Turned out he makes pedals. All sorts of lovely wooden boxes, filled with exciting bits and pieces. He made the Littlebox for another guy runs a shop called Funny Little Boxes. I'm trying to build a home grown rig, supporting smaller businesss where possible and this fitted right in. It's a fuzz box which allows you to starve the important bits of volts, or something, and thereby produce some startling sounds. It has a bass cut switch and two leds. The switch does what it says on the label, the lights are just pretty. Why cut bass if I'm a bassist? When run parallel with my clean signal it sounds fantabidosey. The core sound is thick. Oozing. A coagulating river of fuzz lava. Never thin. Never fizzy or vague. Every nuance of your playing is still there, but oh boy it's just disgustingly filthy. I got the idea for running a clean signal alongside the bass cut fuzz off a YouTuber. Below are my pics and his review - which is loads better than I could do. Mine is number 4. Gotta love a single digit serial number. Came with a handwritten letter from the shop and a discount for my next pedal purchase. Lovely people, great product, I commend them to the Basschat Community. 2 Quote
fretmeister Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 That sounds quite cool. It's one of those tones that I would never use but like hearing it when other people use it. Quote

It's replaced the Big Muff, the size difference made for a lot of fun. It sounds massive on its own but blended with a clean signal is still big but not all consuming. It does very weird things to the effects after it in the chain! Edited October 8, 2020 by stewblack Quote
Thunderbird Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Looking good @stewblack is it a bigger enclosure than the big muff? I'll have a proper listen when I can also really liked the written note it's nice to see they care Quote

stewblack Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 Size wise this Littlebox isn't actually too bad. Shorter than a standard Boss, narrower than two of them Quote

Shorter than a standard Boss, narrower than two of them True but my boards pretty rammed for space and my wallet is pretty empty and really not sure about taking the fuzzmo off will have to mull it over before I decide on anything Quote

I know I expected it to be much bigger so was pleasantly surprised. By the way if anyone thinks that boutique, hand crafted pedals in wooden enclosures must be prohibitively expensive, this was delivered to my door, brand new, for under a hundred of your earth pounds. It is extraordinarily good value. Quote
