Uverbia Real Spring Reverb Pedal Demo
Official demo for the Uverbia spring reverb pedal by ScreaminFX.
On sale here: www.screaminfx.com/Uverbia.htm
The Uverbia is a handmade, real spring reverb pedal which has a driver that sends your signal to a spring tank in a similar manner to a guitar amplifier. The mind blowing tone comes from the fact that this pedal has a real spring tank, not a digital modeling unit that is commonly found in many reverb pedals. Your signal goes through the set of real springs and mechanically reverberates back and forth. The wet and original dry signal is mixed and then run through an output amplifier section with controllable gain profiling. The output amplifier acts in a similar manner to a tube amplifier, when it's low you get a nice clean sound that makes you want to play a blues lick or two. When it’s cranked, you’re surrounded by huge tone, gobs of reverb, with a warm distortion enhancing the harmonics. This results in an unbelievable array of reverb sounds and overdrives that you can't get with a digital chip.

Where to put a guitar buffer pedal in your pedal chain
Переглядів 122 тис.10 років тому
In this video I demo the three main places to put a guitar buffer. You can hear the differences in each case with and without a buffer. In some places it makes a huge difference, but it depends on what you want your sound to be. 1) Before a long cord 2) Between two pedals that don't work well together 3) Between a wah wah and fuzz to get rid of oscillations and make them sound better The buffer...

This pedal has been updated to include a tone knob which rolls off treble enabling you to keep a dark warmer tone even with the buffer on. The boost stage is always activated and you can go from no sound up to a solid boost to keep stage volume. The 1948 Fuzz is a hand built germanium fuzz pedal. The transistors are hand selected and each pedal is matched using the Fuzzmatcher which enables the...

MARSHALL JCM900 RETUBE AND CAP MOD
Переглядів 13 тис.12 років тому
I re-tubed my Marshall JCM 900 with JJ 6L6GC power tubes. For the preamp tubes, I started with all JJ 12AX7s and then changed the first preamp V1 tube to a Sylvania 12AX7-A preaamp tube which sounded a little better to me. However, there wasn't enough bass and growl, so I did a simple mod to some of the caps inside the amp. You can hear it in the video but live it really ads a punch. The clip s...

ScreaminFX Germanium Fuzz Guitar Pedal First Test

I have since started selling these as the 1948 Fuzz New Fuzz Pedal that I just made using Germanium transistors. This is my first real video online and first test pedal demonstration. Check more out at screaminfx.com/
Hey it worked! Thanks for posting this! Since I used a little Attenuator, the pot adjusts the intensity of the Wah pedal. Some guy on youtube suggested that you can just switch the two pedals, one in front of the other, that didn't work. Thanks again!
I could use an attenuator I made that has a 100k resistor, a 250k pot and two jacks in a little box. Worth a try.
Man your wah is broken
But with a buffer the guitar volume won’t clean up - because it’s buffered!
will any eq pedal work as a buffer?
Analogue Man Sun Face GERM
These sound great! I hope you re-release them :) @ScreaminFx
or just use the fuzz before wah.
awesome
How can I order one of these from you. I can't get through on your website.
You are testing the wrong tanks, which is why none of them sound right. The model for the JCM900 Dual reverb is 8DB2C1D, not 8EB2C1B
I gig pretty extensively, and use both a silicon and a germanium fuzz face, with one of them on at all times. I eliminate the oscillation issue by simply turning the wah on, and leaving it in the cocked back position, while nudging the fuzz knob down slightly until the oscillation goes away. This works great, because it's usually where I would want the fuzz knob anyway--slightly backed off from full. Your mileage may vary.
Also, anytime I've put a buffer before a Fuzzface, I have lost the ability to clean up by rolling the guitar volume down. I don't like that because the Fuzzface is the basis for my clean tone--which is pristine, crystal clean. Again, your mileage may vary.
starting to dislike analog gear, doesn’t work half the time
Any 535Q and Big Muff usets?
so ya what were the capacitor values you added in parallel? where both caps changed out or did you just add tow more in parallel? what were the values? thanks!
Anyone at ScreaminFX still around??
Cool sounding fuzz!
hey anybody here ever tried using the tuner pedal as a buffer to go between wah and fuzz? I'm thinking of having the korg tuner act as buffer - supposedly has a "ultra" buffer. Does this work?
Excellent
My wah pedal doesn't work with all the pedals I own, I tried various positions but nothing to do. My wah pedal only works with amp distortion is it a wah pedal fault? what can i do to fix this problem?
That's exactly how it is
ok to put it second-to-last with my reverb between it and the amp?
The peppermint one was so good, especially in the lower end. I still prefer germanium fuzzes but damn
The secret is 2, 100 ft coily cords.😉
Mostly fuzz is better to put before wah. It delivers much more of harmonics for wah filtering. Fuzz after wah enhances even freqs that wah supressed before by tuning at another resonantion point. For wah after fuzz then doesn't matter that wah has in older models high impedantion at output. You can put buffer here, after wah. And it doesn't make noise and feedback.
Sucks that you had to manually wrap that yellow wire around that little pin in the new pot before soldering.
Wow bad ass
Ok, I’m a decade late to this party but that’s a killer pedal. Looking to pick one up but I think the newest version? Without boost switch or knob.
I had the same issue I don't have any boss pedals I had an mxr evh phase 90 I put it first then my dimebag wah new model black camouflage then the electro harmonix big muff pi fuzz, mxr evh 5150 overdrive, into a mxr jimi Hendrix vibe to my Marshall code and it sounds great
Are you still making these small pedal buffers? Emailed you 2 weeks ago still no reply. Thanks in advance!
Great video, thank you. I don't have buffer on my pedalboard. I think I will buy one. Or can I put a equaliser for boost the loss treble ?
Hi the wet signal is sow low I can´t even hear the reverb units, let alone compare their tone or high end roll off. Did you did it on porpose ? please don´t get me wrong, I jast can´t understand your test method here. Cheers
I agree. It's hard to hear them.
When you demonstrated the Boss pedal's ability to ruin the fuzz sound, I felt like you were vengefully stomping on cockroaches when you were trying to make the bad sounds go away.
it sounds sucks because you put the boss pedal before the fuzz on your signal chain...it supposed to be in the first position on your chain
No matter what a buffer will change tone to a much more digital sound. I have a blues rig and the buffer makes my tone less natural, as it does bring up my low end a tad, its not worth the tone loss. I use about 16 pedals on my board and ive found to just put as much through my 10 channel looper, use as short of cords as possible turn up the low a bit, it will beat a buffer situation any day. Granted if you have no choice for some other reasons, buffer can be useful, just dont like the digital thing it does to tone
Man if you find it hard to turn on your Crybaby/Wah pedal, don't destroy any parts off it in order to fix this, one can *adjust the height of the switch* by adding or taking off some of the washers that hold it in place/set up its height, so you can *adjust* how easily it turns on and off without destroying any parts off one´s pedal. Oh, and BTW, it may be just me, but I would have had those wire soldered before having that pot put in place so I won't have to worry about 'hard to reach' and melting things off. Thanks, and, you're welcome too!
I wondered the same thing... why not solder the wires on before you install the pot. ? ? crazy.
Very helpful, thanks! Do you think a tuner in between would work?
Yes it’s the same buffer
Great demo and explanation. Subbed.
That is why Jimi moved to using Vox wahs etc.....
I use the Dunlop Jimi hendrix band of gypsy's Fuzz Face - Crybaby Classic Wah with Fassel inductor its perfect
Thank you so much!!!
Do you still make these?
@ScreaminEFX what Amp are you playing through??
Great shootout I love the big muff but I'd like to have a zvex and fuzzface.
Big muff for the win
Love the sound of your 1948 pedal. Starting to put money aside today :-) Bookmarked your website.
Супер! Подписка!
Hendrix was always turning his guitar volume off after he got done playing a song because his rig would start oscillating if a note wasn't being played before he could stomp his fuzz off. Most people reportedly couldn't play his rig because of this. I did notice you have your fuzz face maxed out on your pedal. I have the Band of Gypsy's fuzz pedal and could not use that much fuzz because it would rob my Marshall of natural tube overdrive and tone...Just saying...Thanks for the video
Nice you are the only video that actually demos the soldering part.
Fuzz sounds like ass before and after the buffer.
