Classic Fuzztone !

Post by rocknrollkat »

Hi Gang,
Decades ago when the 'Stones released "Satisfaction", we all marveled at the new sound.
In short order we realized that you could get that effect by throwing in a couple of diodes in the signal path.
Germanium worked best, at .3 volts turnon and a nonlinear turnon slope at that.
Trying to duplicate that curve in Flowstone is next to impossible, but roughly the same effect can be gotten by tossing in a couple of Spogg's perfect diodes.
Here's how we hooked 'em up, you can compare half wave and full wave sounds,
switchable for your convenience. :)
The file is 'shipped' with the effect 'out', patch in your favorite player and horse around with the switches and dials.
Use it on your next recording if you like !
The 'Stones did, and we all know what happened next !

ROXY :D
