I'm curious how KPA would profile such setup with fuzz with this coil emulator : [Blocked Image: https://www.muzique.com/images/pickup4.gif]
build it a few years ago, it's not bad, but a simple 4,7 kOhm resistor soldered into a cable works just as well.
Guys, I am looking for a good Germanium pedal (fuzz face style). Which one would you recommend?
I’m sure most folks will recommend something from Analogman. I’ve owned a few and they are really great but I’ve also have a Dunlop FF mini (the red one). It’s cheap and sounds right and has a wide range of dirt. My current favorite is the Jam Pedals Fuzz Phrase - it goes from glassy clean to overdrive to distortion and on to a sputtery 60s fuzz.
The key with any of these pedals is to turn your guitar volume way down and adjust up as needed. A great fuzz pedal will have a very wide range of clean to nasty. Crappy fuzz pedals basically go from clean to nasty and have nothing in between.
Fuzz isn’t a destination- it’s a journey. You’ll need to try a few to see what works.
I always recommend a FF as the first DIY kit.
It's extremely simple to build, there are quite a few kits available (even with pre-drilled enlosures) and if you use sockets for the transistors, you can switch them easily later on. (fun, but a slippery slope) 
Thanks. I saw germanium or hybrid Ge/Si fuzzes like the Vemuram Myriad, the OX fuzz, King Tone. Do they worth the hype?
