DetroitBlues Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I've been looking for over a year for a used Visual Sound Angry Fuzz. It's been one of those I can't try it unless I buy it pedals. Found it on a price drop for cheap, so I pulled the trigger. It finally arrived in my door step today. My first reaction is its not a pedal for rhythm work. Straight up solo machine. Still trying to figure it out for the right balance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopfler74 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I JUST redid my pedal board, going away from multi effects (Line 6 POD HD400) and toward analog again. I did an ALL visual sound board and I'm really happy with it. The Route 66 pedal is great, and the Liquid Chorus is also exceptional. I think; however, that my favorite is probably my tap delay (single version). It does great sounding delay without having your guitar "swimming" in the repeats. It's the most easy-to-use delay pedal I've owned thus far. I'll be interested to hear what your experience is with the fuzz when you get to the point where you feel like you have it dialed in!

Kuz Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I hope it works out for you and it finds a sonic place for you. I have to admit, I don't know where this will fit int with your current blues band tone. Maybe for some crazy Jimi Hendrix inspired blues stuff. I hope it works out for you, but for your current band I am betting it will be in the trading post soon. Let us know how it turns out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Played with some more tonight, I really like it as my distortion/fuzz pedal for gritty blues and old rock stuff. Sounded great playing Redhouse tonight. I'm not sold on the octive effect, it just doesn't seem usable yet. But it takes time. Its my first VS pedal to which I'm really impressed with tha quality. Next up though is an isolated power supply. Somewhere in my chain is some ground noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ground noise.... Maybe 60hz hum from the single coil pups? Do you have noise when you use your Epi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 My MIA Strat has noiseless Dimarzio Area pickups. My Bluescaster doesn't, but there is very little noise when run straight to the amp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Before you buy anything else, I would check to make sure you don't have a bad patch cable. Even if that is not the cause, good patch cables make a big difference in tone loss. I use George L's myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedtires Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Sounds real good. I had the H2O which sounded great but just took up to much real estate on the board. VS makes some nice pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My noise issue is gone, so much for true bypass. I still can't pick out the Octave effect, but the fuzz is so good I don't care. I'm looking forward to trying it out with my Dot.
