Tele-Star

[waveclipper]

Tele-Star chromed wedge fuzz using 2 Matsushiti SB173 germs. This is the FA-II circuit version (also branded by Sekova, Apollo and Crestwood).
It doesn't quite reach unity gain even with attack and volume at full wick. Tried going from attack 0 to 10 at about 1:40 but it gets a bit lost with anything less than full throttle. Still a great fun little fuzzer with a remarkably clean bypass signal, sort of like the sonic ancestor of the FY-2?
Rhythm guitar put through a Pigdog Rangedriver with reasonably conservative settings into a slightly furry Egnater Tweaker 15.
Using a Harley Benton TE-80NT Delxue (sic) which is basically an incredibly cheap 'Prince' tele knock off (cheaper than most of my favourite fuzzes but still a pretty good guitar imo)

Top demo sir.

[waveclipper]

Thanks sirs

Aye Inner, the rangedriver is rather wonderful . The amp had a dodgy phase inverter and tired old valves and I was running it through a quite crappy no name speaker yet the pigdog still manages to make everything somehow clearer and sweeter - sort of like using a compressor except without squashing all the dynamics to death. The old ways just seem to be the best...

Sounds great. Love the interplay of guitar parts.

Thanks gents!

Shit! Sorry, Matsushita transistors, same brand as the fuzzder/LRE etc.
Well spotted Davey - must have been a Freudian slip!
