4 minute video: Is my Analog.Man Sunface working right?

[redragon]

Fresh battery. It seems to me like the controls do very little.

 

[dshobe]

Really?

 

[MrSage]

What are you expecting the controls to do that they aren't doing in that video?

 

[Brion]

Fuzz face pedals behave exactly as yours is behaving. Fuzz needs to be maxed or close to maxed for them to do their thing. I suppose some people dig the fuzz knob lower, but that just isn’t the traditional way to use a fuzz face. Your pedal seems to be working normally.

 

[redragon]

Unity gain for the volume seems to be when it’s maxed out. There is essentially no fuzz until about 3:00.

Sounds shot. I’ll give you $50 for it.

Turn the volume up to 85-90%
Turn the fuzz up to 85-90%
Leave it alone and control your clean to fuzz sound with your volume knob on your guitar.
Its all there if you learn how to control it.
Glassy clean to overdrive to flat out screaming ...all with your guitar volume knob.

You made fuzz starting at about 1:55 in that video. Stay in and around there!

$55! And it's my final offer! :^)

that is how they work.

Sorry OP, my post definitely came across as snark. There's definitely plenty of that on TGP. As previously mentioned, just turn both knobs all the way up and control it with your guitars volume and tone knobs.

If that’s a BC183, try fuzz between 2:00 and 3:00 and volume at 3:00 or higher. That’s how I set mine and it’s glorious.

Both knobs should be above noon for sure and the volume should be above 2:00 generally. That’s where the magic is dialing it back.

 

[David Garner]

Silicon fuzz faces can get by with the fuzz knob lower than max in my experience. Germ fuzz faces like to be maxed out.

Volume on either is the key, and fuzz definitely above noon.

PM me.

 

[Qstick333]

2:00 is what you are after. Crank the fuzz knob and use your volume knob to adjust.

 

[goodhonk]

I tried using an expensive fuzz at church one time. Lady told me my amp sounded broken.

 

[CreedBraton]

Damn that things sounds killer! Lol

 

[Shuster]

Well, I can scratch that pedal off my list

 

[RouseTheBoroughs]

slam the fuzz knob, use an old school dollar store battery ... deal with alot of grief for a chance the stars align and it doesn't sound like a wet fart ... life of a fuzz enthusiast

At no point we’re both knobs dimed. User error.
