I have lots of little piles of paper in the shop that are organized in a really weird way and probably just look like trash to most people.

I draw lots of little pictures, block diagrams, mock up effect ideas using software effects in ableton live or logic. I know that probably sounds pretty pretentious. My first projects were overly ambitious and really helped me learn a lot of things that one should NOT do. I read a LOT, asked a lot of questions and wasn't afraid to make mistakes starting out. I actually got my first fuzz pedal working in one of the school labs! Also, my great friend Jordan Levantini, who fixed studio consoles and tube amps was a real mentor to me - I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him. I worked at a coffee shop at the time and met a Northeastern University electrical engineering professor who really helped me a lot with electronics basics. After I finished school I started getting interested in analog circuitry, effects pedals and circuit bending. I was in college (Berklee School of Music) studying performance and synthesis, so a lot of my core knowledge of signal flow and sonic manipulation came from studying sound design. I respectfully declined them and why not? I was serious about becoming a jazz musician and i had no idea how/why i would even use a guitar pedal.
that were just lying around in their basement. I just started playing piano around the time we started going out again and as her mother saw my growing musical interest, she offered me some of the pedals, etc. Sadly, during that interim period of about 2 years, her father passed away and her family sold the business. We went out, then broke up for awhile, then got back together again in our junior year. In high school, I dated a girl whose father owned/operated a pedal/string company. I also play keyboards in a super band named Cymbals Eat Guitars! My name is Brian Hamilton and I live in Philadelphia, PA, where it's always sunny! I run a little operation named smallsound/bigsound where i design, build and obsess over effects pedals. What is your name, where are you from and what do you do? They make killer fuzz/OD/glitchy weird pedals for guitar and bass, like the Team Awesome! Fuzz Machine! Also, look out for the new Mountain Range boost / OD coming soon!ġ.
Smallsound/Bigsound effects is a hyper rad custom/small batch pedal company based out of Philadelphia, PA.

In times like these, I just dial in more of my clean tone (I did mention that was a FREE upgrade, right?), and all is well with the world. When you start boosting the mid-range and upper frequencies on this or any fuzz pedal, you start to experience a perceived loss of low end - even if the pedal doesn’t actually loose any of the lower-range frequencies. It could be that when playing more lead type lines on guitar the lower Tone settings will help you get that thick 70s fuzz tone (sick). I think that, at least on bass, the true character of the fuzz really comes out in the upper Tone settings. I normally run my Pickle Pie B with the Tone control set at around nine o’clock, but with the Tall Front, I preferred the tones that I got when the Tone control was set past noon and closer to 3 o’clock honestly. Right off the bat I noticed that this pedal was much more scooped in the Mid - range frequencies than the Pickle Pie B (you remember our first review right?). One of the cool things about playing with a pedal the second time through.
I had never thought about doing something like that the first time that I owned the pedal. This allowed me to have a boost for my OD and have a reined in fuzz sound without having to knob twiddle on my Pickle Pie B mid-song (which I hate doing). My favorite way to use the fuzz, other than to go from sweet OD to killer rock god fuzzy-ness, was to turn down the output of the fuzz side and use it with my Iron Ether Nimbus for those super huge volume swells that Brian Cook from Russian Circles does a lot. It may be perfect with a wah for that Cliff Burton kind of fuzz/wah sound.
The octave up switch added that cut throat brash-ness to the signal that was the first time I felt like I liked that sound, even if the upper end of the frequency spectrum wasn't fully perceptible in a band setting to my ears. It is fuzz is really well rounded, IMO, maybe even more than the OD side. It felt like it was fuller and ballsier than I remember, but again that could have everything to do with my current bass/set-up. The fuzz side, like the OD side, also sounded better than I remember.
