Uh..what fuzz survives after going into an overdrive and then into a fully driven amp?

That's what I was thinking as well when I saw the pedal lineup for his demo vid.

"I detected Ronson’s pedal was a bit mis-adjusted. For that reason he achieved some of his signature sounds which were in fact
due to this issue, such as farting sounds as the note decays or strange noises."

I liked the sound, but sounds like he's full of speculative crap so to speak.

maybe it's your silicon MKI circuit

In 1973 Mick Ronson switched his famous Sola Sound Tone Bender MK1 to a new fuzz box. A new more agressive sound appeared on David Bowie's records, starting with "Aladdin Sane" or "Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture". Mick Ronson played his Marshall Major severely overdriven and used to kick his fuzz for solos. The fuzz box was first in the signal chain before the wah-wah, then into a Maestro Echoplex and the Marshall amp.


Is this true? I thought Ronson only used the MKI?

No, that one I posted a while back was crap. The one I have not posted is much better.

There's no possible way he could possibly know any of this. It's true the appearance of Mick's pedal changed, but according to more credible sources it was his MK1 rehoused.
He oughta just say he's selling a pedal that sounds similar to Ronson's tone and not that it's an actual circuit used by Mick, at least not without actual evidence to back it up.

youre absolutely right sonic 6. This guy is way out of line on this one.

There's no possible way this guy from Spain could possibly know any of this. It's true the appearance of Mick's pedal changed, but according to more credible sources it was his MK1 rehoused.

I don't think he says it's the actual circuit, just that it achieves the tone.... too bad the guy from guitar hangar who has Mick's Pig amp doesn't have the pedal as well!

Sickle has the Rono Bender as a addition to part of his various MKI collection?, he thought it was a good sounding MKI build.
