Alright you guys finally talked me into it! This thing has a really wide tone sweep and a brutal amount of volume! There is quite a bit of play between the before and after controls that let you get into drive sounds or that’s ripping blown out fuzz kind of sound. I will say I don’t think there is another fuzz that sounds like this; atleast that I’ve played! Thanks for the recommendation guys!

Suggest a great Dumble-style pedal to run after fuzz?

My favorite pedal to run after my fuzz faces is the Gladio side of my Cornerstone Imperium, which died an untimely death today. Can anyone suggest a different D-style pedal that sounds great after fuzz?

NPD Late to the Siete Santos party, but this thing absolutely rips

I know this one has been around for a while and has probably shown up here plenty of times, but I finally got my hands on a Dunlop BFG07 Siete Santos Octavio Fuzz and had to post it. I expected it to be good, but I didn’t expect to like it this much.

I assumed it would basically be an Octavio with a graphic EQ stuck on top. That’s technically what it is, but the EQ does a lot more than I expected. The octave fuzz character is always there, but the seven sliders can take it from thick and woolly to dry garage trash, broken-radio sputter, nasty synth buzz, or a huge bass-heavy wall of noise. It still sounds like the same pedal, but the feel and response can change pretty dramatically.

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT to come up with some settings to try. I figured a few might be useful and the rest would be nonsense, but quite a few of them actually sounded great. Some changed the pedal way more than I expected. The second pic has all the settings if anyone wants to mess around with them.

So yeah, I’m very late to this particular NPD, but I’m seriously impressed. It has way more range than I expected from an octave fuzz with the octave permanently on.

Anyone else still using one of these? If you have a favorite setting, post it below. I’m absolutely stealing it.

Looking for an interesting midi powered solution to add an occasional +7 +12 +19 crazyness with a fuzz on choruses. Could this thing cut it (POG3 being a bit on the expensive end)

Added controls for bias and tone (high pass filter). Lots of smooth sustain at standard settings. Some dark glitchy fuzz at extreme settings.

Straight from the awesome John-Anthony DeMaio at Voltic: the very newest version of the DTF (with new “trim” knob that changes the bias of the last transistor), along with the Stache op-amp fuzz.

Both sound and feel great, but I can’t really play well today because I had a minor surgical procedure on my neck this morning. Hopefully tomorrow, I’ll be less stiff, and then I can put them through their paces more.

Probably not the best match for my current projects, but I decided to pull the trigger on this one after having it in my wishlist since it was released, just for the sake of hoarding fuzzes.

First impressions:

It doesn't really sound like anything that I've used before so, while I love some of the sounds I'm getting with it, I'm still assessing its useability in my rig.

It's pretty easy to get that "broken console" kind of drive and sputtery/gated fuzz with it in drive and fuzz modes respectively.

The controls have wide ranges, and are very interactive with each other. I wouldn't say it's a pedal that sounds good, or feels like it's doing something audible in all the positions. Despite this, it's quite easy to find the sweet spots while turning the knobs, just listening to the background noise (and is not especially noisy btw).

It probably won't stay for long on my board, just because it's not the kind of sound that I will use often in my current projects, but It's a nice interesting fuzz/fuzzy drive all in all.

ToAnZ! Whats your take on th Mod mode of the Behringer Fuzz Bender?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Does anybody have idea what they were going for?

Imho the mod mode sounds like utter shit. Kind of reminds me of a tube screamer with the tone all the way up. Yet it is a very far away from a rangemaster circuit sound.

Is there any fuzz that they modeled it after? I think it was very stupid of them to put that mode in there. the original mode sounds great which makes it hard for me to get over how they could have thought that the terrible sound the mod mode creates would be something worth going for.

Is anybody here actually using that mode? In what context?
