Nein fuzz

[Guardians of the analog]

I'm not a big fuzz guy. I like fuzz but more in the sense of specific context and usually when other people use it. Also I use a gained up Marshall master volume amp with humbuckers so fuzz usually sounds like shit. Also I use a buffer at the front of my board so a fuzz that can work after a buffer is a must.

So those who have built the nein fuzz, will it work for me? Is it good behind a buffer. It's jfets and not like regular bjt transistor fuzz. This video gave me hope, but is it buffer compatible?

I have liked it. I would characterize it like a mix between fuzz and overdrive. That being said, I do have a different rig. Mine is a single coil or humbucker guitar into an AC30 clone.

As for the buffer, I would have to test it. I don’t recall having a buffered pedal before it. That being said, you could place a pickup simulator in front to help with that issue. I have a mod board for a pickup simulator that you could insert before the pedal. If you want a board, send me a note and I’ll get it in the mail to you.
