Right on guys, that'll be fun! I was wondering if maybe they had a live band but I'm glad it's cartoons on a screen. I just hope nobody dies and they don't summon anything.

Dr., ask and you shall receive! *smile* This is a short clip my pal Lyle made with his 909, he futzes around with the mix, the gain, and the sizzle.

Lyle's 2 other clips... let me show you them....

Both synthesizers, that's how he chooses to live his life. (I'm not sure what synths exactly, maybe he's not either.)

They usually play on a pretty dark stage with a big ass screen behind them.
Bryan Beller (the real murderface) is pretty badass.

Sorta nsfw in the intro...

Oh, and everyone go buy a frazz dazzler. Seriously. That is all.

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

wow sweet thanks ryan! or shall i say dr as well! clips was unexpected! might have to grab one of these in the near future. i really like dirt boxes with a mix knob on drums. sometimes full on fuzz is too much but just dialin in a subtle amount does wonders in conjunction with the clean signal.

also laughin at how dancy/miami cluby the sounds of the 909 are. hilarious. gloria estefan anyone??

also also, im out of the loop on all the newish adult swim shows as its been years since i've had cable, but is this brendon small guy your all talkin about the same brendon small from home movies?

[Nychthemeron]

If you can somehow get Dethklok to use some of your pedals, that would be awesome. I could see a Dr. Scientist cameo on the show in the future.

BTW, Frazz + TR909 is really awesome sounding.

yep. same guy.

Stupid Customs keepin' me and my frazz apart.

My cosmichorus took roughly 2 weeks to arrive...with any luck you should have it within a few days.

Mine took roughly 2 weeks to arrive from dr. scientist, with any luck you should have it within a few days.

It shall be worth the wait.

[Blurillaz]

Just got it today.. Words cannot describe the awesomeness...
I guess if I had to relate it to any other type of pedal, it would be kinda like a Big Muff with better EQing and an awesome mix control....

A fun setting I found is with Sizzle and Gain at 0, volume at 5.5 and mix at 4.7... It's pretty clean sounding aside from some hiss in the background, BUT these spectaculaurly weird fuzzy copies of your signal just come in almost randomly, like an octave or even sometimes 2 otaves down from the dry signal.

[Ryan]

Right on, B-man, glad to hear you like it and thanks again!

[mff]

Is there any way to turn off the gate, on the older Dazzlers?

Sorry if i haven't paid attention, and it's allready answered elsewhere.

[Blurillaz]

Not on the older ones, the new versions let you switch the gate on and off.


However, if you have the gain high enough on older versions, the signal will be stronger than the gate.

[Ryan]

Being able to turn the gate off requires a whole new output stage, a 5th transistor, and I'm afraid it's not a mod that can be done to older models as it requires a new pcb, sorry about that mff!

B-man's got it right though, the hotness of the signal going into the Frazz can have a big effect on the gate control. I mostly play a G&L Asat and the single coil in the bridge can't over-ride the gate even with the gain dimed but my Les Paul can.
