I build the fuzz driver based on the aldrin board. Initially I wasn’t too impressed with a Marshall jubilee on the crunch channel. I recently bought a Plexi/Superlead amp. I play in a Led Zep tribute band and using the fuzz driver in combination with a EP preamp got me pretty close.

Jimmy has it setup for a brighter tone, but I don’t like that. Small demo from last Friday show:

The pedal is really dynamic, I leave it on all the time. For a clean tone you just roll down and get it really clean, with a good solo tone with the volume wide open. Really amazing pedal!!

Thanks for the demo, sounds great!

Can we see pics of the pedal itself?

Thanks! The pedal is now at the storage, but it just a black box painted by my 5 year old son in some random colors. I don't care too much for aesthetics, I build many fuzz/drive pedals and only use a few on my board. So I don't care too much for the looks.

I think you're probably getting a better sound than Jimmy Page ever did! I have never been a huge fan of his sound. I used to listen to Zep all the time but haven't for about 20 years. You're getting a great sound.

Ah thanks man, I love the music but I’m also not always a big fan of jimmy live sound. I do like the early ones like at the royal Albert hall.

I really like Jimmy’s tone on How the West Was One. But I read an article talking about all the post-processing he and Kevin “Caveman” Shirley did to those tracks, so the album likely bears little resemblance to how those songs actually sounded.

I like that tone too but I prefer the older ones, more raw and open.

Lekker hoor. (Dutch for...nice!)
