Black Rainbows "Hawkdope" album riffing fuzz sound

[traktop]

Last august I happened to watch Black Rainbows playing at "Reverence Valada festival" in Portugal.
I didn´t know the band, but the sound of the guitar player/singer left me astonished.
The lead sound could be any fuzz pedal, but the riffing fuzz sound was a mixture of a fat, mid-cutting slightly octaved/gated kind of fuzz that made people go crazy...
He was playing an average Gibson SG, but I couldn´t manage to see the guy pedalboard, but it seemed like that kind of sound that one could recognize if ever tried...

These guys sound pretty cool. Thanks for sharing

The rhythm guitar sounds a lot like a Superfuzz. That would probably be where I'd start in terms of replicating that sound.  

My SG sounds a LOT different than my other guitars with fuzz. SGs are pretty dark sounding

Thanks.
Yeah, I was afraid that it was a superfuzz...
I´ve been eluding that layout since  it seemed to me that would be easy ending with a big mess... But always I hear that kind of fuzz sound that I like so much, ended being a superfuzz...
Recently tried the easier sepukku space fuzz, but nowhere near...

I agree with Travis - sounds like a Superfuzz to me.

Build one Gilberto, you won't regret it. However I woyld use a PCB like this one from Fuzzdog in the UK:

There is nothing wrong with the Superfuzz layout on this site - I have built one and it worked great, but it is a tricky build. Use this PCB and you can easily fit it in a 1590B. I have used this PCB a couple of time now, and compared to the vero, it is an easy build.

Do it!  :)

Really though, I thought it was intimidating, but did it anyway and it worked right away. Awesome fuzz.

Used this layout: http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.nl/2013/12/unicordunivox-super-fuzz.html

It looks like a lot, but there are a lot of same values used.

Def worth it! What better time to start one like this than now? :D
