A Different FUZZ Mite
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:41 pm
Hi All,
Just wanted to briefly share my experience with a Fuzzrite clone I just purchased. It's called a "FUZZ mite", but it is not the same as the D67 one mentioned several years ago from Primitive.
It's a clone of the early Fuzzrite with germanium transistors, no external DC power, just a 9-volt battery like the Fuzzrite.
I had an original Fuzzrite long ago, but sadly it slipped away, so I can't accurately compare the two in real time.
I must say though that my new FUZZ mite sounds great. It has about the same spit and crackle with a good amount of sustain. I can hear Davey Allan when I play Blue's Theme and it does a great job on the Venture's Bird Rockers.
Anyone else familiar with this clone?
Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_u6KAGRfPw
He also has a website in progress: http://www.fuzzking.com/
He also sells them at Westwood Music in Los Angeles.
