Quote from: blacksantaDude it sucks! I'm telling ya, get a distortion and an octavizer seperate. I'd sell you mine but it pissed out after a year. All it is is a DOD grunge pedal and a shitty sounding octo mixed together.. It IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE! But hey...to each his own.

ofcourse the pedal sucks, thats the whole point :roll:

and mantis those mp3's were played thru my bridge humbucker. mustangs sound very twangy and thin because of the single coils. I guess it would help if you put seymour duncan hot rails (mini humbucker) in the bridge pos of your guitar to give it some more output, but still, a mustang will never sound as heavy as a les paul

yeah i bought it out of curiosity and i love to play with it and make weird
noises when i'm bored but i don't use it in my pedal-board. my distortion
chain is proco rat dominated - boosted with a tube screamer. i also use a
boss fz-3 fuzz which is WAY better than most people think. however, i tried
out the blue box (plus dist), and yes you can get close but it's not the
same, the buzz box is capable of way more havoc it's also more fun to
play because the b-box is EVERYTHING else but quiet (unlike the blue
box), you can blow speakers with it.

(right click/save because of tripod) a little noise session a few months ago :D

nice rig :) what kind of guitar do you have?
i've got a shitty ibanez grx 70 atm, if everything goes according to plan it will be replaced tomorrow by an epiphone les paul custom, yes epiphone, not gibson, i can't afford a real gibson (about 2500 euros?)

i have a tokai lp replica... tokai is the closest you can get, in other words
tokai = gibson if not better (the japan series). epi's are okay so go for it.
but i would recommend to look up a few tokai related sites or just read
some reviews on harmony central - they're cheap and are build to the
exact specifications, you really can't see the difference (or hear). they
copied the whole gibson line, standards, studios, customs...

here's a pic from the tokai registry: http://www.tokairegistry.com/images/catalogs/tokai_85-86_electric_p7.jpg

The BuzzBox was made to try and capture the sound of the MXR BlueBox, a random Distortion/Ocatve Divider that Buzz uses.  I'd like to get my hands on a BuzzBox to posssibly make white noise on guitar with it.

I saw a used one ONCE at a Long and McQuade In thornhill or someplace WAYYY out East of Toronto I never been to before or since, And I still Regret not picking it up. it was about 80 bucks, I just didnt see myself parting with that cash at the time, but now I realize I probly will never see one ever again. I was really in a shitty Financial spot.

If anyone ever wants to hook me up...I give ya a Fair PRice or Trade etc..Still want one just as a collector.

maybe you got an extra one you can spare. I duno, I just thought Id ask.  :(
