Easyvibe + Fuzz Face problem

[keith71]

Hi all !
First let me say thank you : by reading this forum, I built fuzzes, delays, overdrives, easyvibe. Great info here !

Now the problem : Easyvibe and Fuzz sound really nice by themselves, but together, whatever pedal order, the sound seems to loose all bass and mids, letting only treble frequencies thru...
I tried with Ge and Si FuzzFace, and this is worst with Ge...

I think it's because of impedance mismatch, so a buffer maybe the solution. What do you think ?

Thanks in advance

The easyvibe is a bright sounding phase (comapred to the neovibe) The best results I have found are to use an overdrive before the easyvibe and an overdrive or fuzz after it. Or possibly straight into the univibe and into a distorted amp.
Here is a post comparing the two vibes. The distorted clips are with an overdrive before and after the vibes.

With a fuzz before the easyvibe is does sound thin and like a cheap toy. You may have to try it with a fuzz with a tone control to shape the sound a bit warmer.
