cheddatom Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 He wouldn't break the case or the switch. Maybe the pots would snap, but, I think if you buy it new it has a plastic "pot protector". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 [quote name='eude' post='77686' date='Oct 22 2007, 11:35 AM']Thanks for all the input guys. I think I'm going to try the Danelectro French Toast and if it's worth it, I'll re-house it for a bit more road worthiness, anyone got any tips for doing something like that? If that fails, then I'm just going to have to find a decent guitar shop with a decent selection of pedals and just noodle for a while till I get the right one. Also, on my travels I found these guys [url="http://www.happyrobotmusic.co.uk/pedals.html"]Happy Robot Music[/url]. They look pretty interesting too, seen them on "Buy It Now" on ebay for £35 to £40... Cheers, Eude[/quote] i will be expecting delivery of my happy robot bass fuzz tomorrow, il let you know what its like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having checked his site out, he's done some pretty freaky noise generator stuff and it looks like he's up for trying out different things at the customers request... Might be nice to see if he could do a bass fuzz with volume and blend controls... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 the fuzz is nice, i got the one with just the volume control sounds very decent when put through the gt6b's eq, makes up for lack of tone control im actually very tempted to sell my woolly mammoth, as this happy robot fuzz sounds almost the same as the sound i use the woolly for interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll get the French Toast anyway, as they cost peanuts. Did you buy the fuzz from ebay or direct? Cheers, Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ebay for £30 another thing, its sounds great with active as well as passive, which is just awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Works well with an Active Bass! That's good news! I think Mr. Happy Robot is about to recieve an email from yours truly. Is this getting a little over the top? Custom Bass, Custom Fuzz Pedal.... Where will it stop!? Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked great with my Thumb Bass though... I'm looking for a big thick wall of sound type fuzz, like the bass sound on the Karp album, if any of you have heard it, which the Sansamp can't do anyway, as far as I'm aware.

Kev Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 nope, only difference iv found is that you can hear more of the original bass tone with an active Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
