VAS?

[HolmeBass]

I have a small Muff thing going on. I have SP mk II, and a Stomp Under Foot Civil War. I almost got a HoofReaper too. I think I might indulge in the new EHX Green Russian, it's so cheap why not? I've always wanted to get the Pharoah and the Imperial, too. If only I were in a band that would better justify my noise obsession.

Pfat sounding Synthy fuzz, overdrives that sound like a tuba and and envelopes. I have a few delays in the graveyard too because they become obsolete. I was almost prevented from getting my latest envelope (a Keeley Neutrino) by a Guitar Center clerk. And at my age (97) shame on me, I was 1st discouraged by an arrogant EU Wurlitzer clerk in 1978! I though I was immune by now...but after he said, "it's for guitar only, man" I left because I was in a bit of a hurry. I went back the next week having done my homework (it's got a low pass setting), got 2 cables and a onespot from the older guy at the trade desk ignoring the original clerk's inability to find 2 chords and power, and I'm actually liking it quite a bit now that it's on the board. Allot lighter than the Maxon that it replaced and the filter frequency range is great.

I feel you pain, I want more rats and muffs...and an AO

For me it's muffs. I have had many but I'm down to 3 right now which means I can get more!!!

I'm not really an FX guy, but if you are into Muffs, check out the BYOC Large Beaver. They have people that will build it for you if that's not your thing. You can get different specs (triangle or rams head), and it has a really cool 4 way EQ thing. One of the settings takes the EQ out of he circuit all together and it is massive!

Interesting thread. I've always had a sort of admiration for folks who have VAS because I so don't. Subbed for the the vicarious experience

Vas, huh...this is new to me. I'm mostly familiar with gas(gear acquisition syndrome), but never heard of vas.

 

[sigterm]

I've been trying to stay away because I will definitely go down the rat hole once I get started on them, might be time to get started.

VAS is a detailed subset of GAS.

Okay...not quite sure If I have vas, but I have been gassing for effects nowadays.

Pre amp pedals. Love the versatility of a pre amp pedal into power amp setup. It's the only reason I'm even ever in the effects forum. I love reading about people's experiences with different pres.

Oooo thats a good one. If I did have vas it would be for preamps

For me it's the brassmaster circuit. I have a Barker assmaster, VFE woodchipper, and a PE depth charge. The depth charge is winning these days but they all sound different and beautifully musical .

 

[Fuzzonaut]

I also have thing with Muffs: Pharao, Beast, Bluebeard, Dope Priest.

And I suffer from CAS: wanting a pedal of every fuzz circuit (Muff, Superfuzz, .....)
