Fuchs Verbrator pedal

[jzucker]

This is a demo of the prototype Fuchs Verbrator used as a tube buffer instead of as an effect loop. It is the last device in my effect chain prior to my amplifier.

The reverb you hear is coming from the pedal. Unlike the standard dumblator, the Fuchs has a digital reverb circuit built in.

Note that this was not the original purpose of the design for this pedal but as you can see, it turns my bass amp into a pretty nice sounding tube amp!

For this demo I am using a bass amp. It's a Markbass LMII which is a great bass amp but is one of the driest and sterile sounding amps for electric guitar that I have ever heard! It does *NOT* have reverb.

In this demo I am using an Epiphone Elitist Les Paul Copy with Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF pickups, a Fuchs Valve Job (for overdrive), later an Area 51 Fuzz pedal and later a Tim pedal.

Nice work.

Sounds great and thanks especially for the clean tones - for my ears, that's where a lot of amp emulation really falls short.

So, removing the reverb factor, what do you like better in front of your solid state amp, the Fuchs or the Jester?

I think the Fuchs has more of the fender meets clean dumble sound going on. The Jester can get clean but it's not a fender twin in a box either.

Fuchs should consider a non dumblator version with tone controls.

Thanks Jack - When I talked to Fuchs it sounds like they're developing a pre that might just be what you're describing. So many great tools these days.
