I am to love this Fender Blender. This pedal, she is so crazy with the fuzz, but so hard to find for the many years. Que expensivo! Disgraziado, what the collectorini have done!
Salut, Fender, for doing this unexpected thing!

Fender Blender
Shush! Are they to sound just like the old Fender Blender, the unholy marriage of Fuzz Face and Coloursound Fuzz?
This I will have to investigate!

I have one of
THESE and I am very happy with it. It's a bitch to find the right tone, takes a lot of tweeking. Worth every penny.
But I will also vote for the Tech 21 distortion.

Mesa Bottle Rocket. Avery nice tube pedal pedal that doesn't have a semi-conductor stage in its overdrive circuit, goes from clean to metal. Lots of sustain and compression, very little buzz, midrange-heavy, dark and lots of low end =) Me likey.

TheMilford wrote:Ok also here's a neat mod to try with your MXR dist+.
Open it up and replace the 10k Volume pot with a 100k pot. this will give you more output volume. you can use it at lower distortion levels and still be louder than your clean sound. with the 10k the output volume is low, so you have to use more dist level to get the output up.
It'll sound a little different... try it, you can always change it back.

I use a lot of gain pedals. My favourite of all is my Rat. I've had it for years and it never lets me down. I've just bought a Turbo Rat on ebay too..
My current favourite is a Boss HM-2 in a feedback loop which I built using this schematic
.
It sounds great.

Has anyone tried the Ibanez SM-9 Super Metal?
I'm really interested in trying one out...but haven't read a whole lot of reviews. Just the ones on Harmony Central. It's got the JRC chip. Theoretically it should sound really good.
