A Holy Heavy Metal (Literally) FY-2 Fuzz

Here's a fun one! My buddy Clay over at Rainbow Guitars works metal for fun. He recently brought me a fun enclosure to work with.

Of course this needed to house the gnarliest of all fuzzes, the silicon FY-2. It does not play well with chords in the style of an octave fuzz. However, there is little to no octave component to the tone. I added a pot to the mid scoop at the end of the circuit to dial back in some of those mids (and volume and ability to cut through the mix). With the control at zero, the stock mid scooped tone is fantastic and sax-like for single note melodies.

Here's a short down 'n' dirty video demo.
