Title: Fuchs Verbrator (Dumblator) pedal!
Post by: jzucker on November 05, 2008, 04:10:37 PM
This is a demo of the prototype Fuchs Verbrator used as a tube buffer instead of as an effect loop. It is the last device in my effect chain prior to my amplifier.

The reverb you hear is coming from the pedal. Unlike the standard dumblator, the Fuchs has a digital reverb circuit built in.

Note that this was not the original purpose of the design for this pedal but as you can see, it turns my bass amp into a pretty nice sounding tube amp!

For this demo I am using a bass amp. It's a Markbass LMII which is a great bass amp but is one of the driest and sterile sounding amps for electric guitar that I have ever heard! It does *NOT* have reverb.

In this demo I am using an Epiphone Elitist Les Paul Copy with Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF pickups, a Fuchs Valve Job (for overdrive), later an Area 51 Fuzz pedal and later a Tim pedal.

I heard one of the later prototypes of this unit and thought that it was pretty darn good for the coin.

Nice demo Jack and great playing as usual.  :)
It is really nice device but little bit to expensive. Hope Andy will drop the price  :P or Nick will build something similar inside the amp with additional footswitch. That would be great. 8)

I am abstaining from any provocative works right now :)
