Honey Special Fuzz.

[digi2t]

I don't know what happened to this guy. He was all keen to contribute to the cause, but he's completely fallen off the radar. Didn't even reply to my last PM.

Guess we'll never see the Honey Special Fuzz clone come to life. Bummer.

i'm currently in costa rica (long story), but i'll get back to mexico on august 2nd, and will still have 2 or 3 weeks of vacation left... IT WILL HAPPEN.

Yo Pat!!! Good to hear from you again. Thought you fell off the radar big time.

Like I`ve said before, I don`t mind covering the shipping. PM me with the details. There`s a lot of inquiring minds (including me!) that would love to see this circuit fleshed out.

And while your at it, have a brewsky for me, will ya?

Cheers,
Dino

YES IT WILL happen

Yay! Can't wait...

[Craiz]

So I think the consensus was that it's an up-octave, auto-wah fuzz? Holy mother am I interested in making one. Especially with switches for the auto-wah/octave. Mmmmmm......

[LucifersTrip]

to go off topic while we patiently wait, what's the "peak" box?

[mth5044]

I can't wait!

[Pacafeliz]

thanks guys!

oh i'm having a splendid time... plus, as i'm just getting divorced (etc.), my dad's intrudicing me to all his "big shot" friends, to see if i can get a good job down here... 
we'll see.

tis a beautiful country. climate is PERFECT and the beer is always cold. as long as you drink it FAST! 

btw, the PEAK is a fuzz tone (or was it fuzz box), those were made in japan and rebranded. but this one ain't hardly got any guts anymore.

If it's to anybody's interest I've tracked down one of these here in Sweden, and the owner is willing to sell it for (quite hefty) 500 usd.
it's more than I can afford, but I would gladly help out if someone has an interest in buying it.

[reverberation66]

if we could get 500 people to throw in a dollar....

[pinkjimiphoton]

no need, pat is hooking us up. patience, people, patience!!

Alright folks...

This is about to see the light of day  . Got tired of waiting on Pacafeliz, and hobo_hephew came to the rescue. I mean SHIT MAN! I love sun, surf, and beer just as much as the next person, but we got serious business to care of here  .

hobo and I have managed to deal, and I've got one on the way from Sweden. I'd like to say a great big fat THANKS to hobo_hephew for doing the leg work on this. I'm putting everybody on notice here; put this guy on your "good guy" list.

Another hens tooth about to be revealed. Yeah baby!

[pinkjimiphoton]

sweet!!! go guys, go!

i can't WAIT to see the guts in this thing!

[Pacafeliz]

 
ugh... sorry... i'm catching my flight back to mexico tomorrow.

well, still cool you found another one. i'll be following this thread anyways.

Pat.

[digi2t]

IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

It about as retarded as I never could have imagined... in a good way!

It is... ahem.... an octave fuzz, with a fixed speed phaser type effect built in for good measure  .

The fuzz is nasty  . Sort of close to the Ludwig fuzz, but with some Ampeg Scrambler thrown in. Then when you hit the "SPECIAL" switch, that kicks in the phaser effect. The direct switch bypasses the fuzz, so you can only treat the clean signal.

Video and pics coming later today, have to change the alternator on my car first  . It is by far, the nastiest piece of fuzz kit I've ever had the pleasure to play through. And the harmonic feedback content, especially octave-wise, just blows whatever few brain cells I have left to smithereens.

I'm wondering though, if the "Special" effect shouldn't maybe give more "auto wah" instead? I mean, what the hell are those 2 inductors doing there? Anyway, more to come....

[Pacafeliz]

well... i can still send (really!) mine, for comparison or so...
just in case you're not too pissed at me... 

i feel bad and guilty. let me clean up my name/face, will ya? 

[pinkjimiphoton]

pat, relax, bro...nobody is holding anything against you!!

please do send it to dino, he'll take real good care of it, and it gives us two to compare notes on.

this is AWESOME, bros!! can't wait to hear this thing, and better yet, BUILD THE MOFO!!! 

[John Lyons]

Good news Sounds fun. Go Dino!

[glops]

Can't wait for the vid!
