When Demonauta started, I came of a major break in the music and had a lot of expenses as rent, my studies, the test room, accounts, beer, etc and was buying everything slowly and only inexpensive stuff.

The idea of the sound of the band was always to use fuzz on guitar and bass and large measures in drums, but we did not have any of that and had emergency. So I bought from a friend a cheap pedal, the Zoom Ultra Fuzz UF-01 from Japan. It has an eternal sustain and gets along very well with my Wah Wah Cry Baby GCB-95, a faithful companion since playing the electric guitar, in fact it is the combination I used on the song “Caminando en la Luna”, it maintains the dynamics of the guitar whit wah wah.

I felt that the grain was thin and lacked a bit of body, like shapeless, that’s why I changed to the germanium Fuzz Face, after having previously tried other pedals such as the american Big Muff, the Russian Big Muff, Big Muff Tone Wicker or the Swollen Pickle… I also found all of these lacked of Fuzz and had no Mids.

I like my new combination, even if there are abrupt changes of dynamic and I was obliged to modify my Wah a bit. But it has the fuzz grain thicker as I like it. I want to sound more vintage, but I always use the Fuzz Face to the top, also has lower frequencies now I hear all the spectrum… Sometimes I think it has its own life, it’s a rebel 🙂

For our new record, I’m using the Fuzz Face along with other 2 cheap modulators, however I’m always changing these, now I’m using an Analog Delay and a Vintage Phaser. Additionally, I’m currently using a Korean Samick Artist Series SG from the 90’s and modified for me, with an English Marshall JCM 600 amp, quite simple, inexpensive and powerful setup..
