Fuzz The Sound That Revolutionized The World

Has anyone seen this film?  http://www.fuzzthemovie.com/

I watched it last night (it's on Netflix) and it was a little old, 2007 I think, but it was interesting.  It had interviews with people whose names I knew (mostly from this site) but had never seen or heard before.  They had Bjorn from BJF, Death By Audio guys, analogman, Zach Vex, Mike Matthews, Robert Keeley, The Timmy guy (whose names escapes me at the moment), the Way Huge guy as well as others.  Pretty cool to hear their views on pedals, each other and the business.  The direction is heavy handed and weird, with the director demoing pedals with increasing odd foot wear, but there it is.  Most of you won't learn anything new, I'll wager, but it was a nice expenditure of 90 minutes.

I must say i am a recent addicted into Fuzz pedals. First time you know, this was just for fun. I tried once in front the amp, and i got that crazy sensation. For a while, i was thinking i could come back to the distortion pedals anytime. In really tiried to reproduce that sensation - low gain, medium gain, high gain... but it didn´t work. I was in need of more. Just under the effect of a fuzz, i got that raw magic. I start to spend a lot of money.  A lot of pedals, that i started to hide under the bed... you know, a wife cannot always understand this fetiche. I wanted all of them... everyone with their specific flavour. I am sure a fuzz addict have not other way than learn to build them.

This is fiction, but surely based on real facts.

My favourite ones are the ones were J Mascis stands against a wall of Big Muffs and he's basically like "Yeah, I like Big Muffs" and EHX factory with Mike being friendly with all the soldering ladies. Anderton was pretty cool too!
