Page's "You Shook Me" Fuzz

[Krinor]

I don't usually make threads like this, but I just couldn't resist:

Could anyone help me find a fuzz that will give me that great fuzz sound which can be heard on Led Zep's version of "You shook me" ?
I 'm after something warm and farty here. You probably get the picture.

From what I've read it's a Tonebender MKII right?
That's why I built one and love the sound.

[Krinor]

I read that too, and built one - but mine just won't do the fart thing. 

[drewl]

stick it in the icebox, or slightly "unbias" it.

Yeah, that's right! The MKII, that's the sound! I think it's quite difficult to make it sound that way... I always get too much gain even from mid gain trannies.

Maybe play with the input cap of the MKII

Dragonfly did a fat-bottomed 2-tranny fuz that I'd bet would cover that territory very well. Just can't remember the dern thing's name, he's done so many...

[Krinor]

Yeah that's right. Andrew probably knows... So let's hope he sees this thread eventually.

I nailed that sound with telecaster+fulltone soulbender+fender twin.

Nice.  Will check that one out.
