I really need to get back to my "regular style" posts, but until then, I'll keep posting my RAILhead Effects related goodies. That said, I tweaked my Peach Custom Fuzz once again, and I'm really, really getting close to the tone I'm looking for in a fuzz. My recording setup is my 88 Les Paul w/Goodwood pickups, bridge position, guitar volume max, guitar tone rolled out, fuzz at max. I start out playing a simple rhythm riff (and eventually have to fade out because I have so much sustain!), then I play a simple blues-type run. After that, I roll the guitar tone all the way in and play the blues riff again. Here's the MP3:

I like it quite a bit — but there's one more transistor I'm waiting on to test, so I may be changing it again ever so slightly...

Heh, totally. According to GarageBand’s, that chord held out for 34 seconds—and that was with tone rolled out, the bridge pickup, and dying strings. ![]()

Man, you aren’t kidding. It reminds me of the scene in Spinal Tap where Nigel Tufnel is showing off his guitars, talking about sustain… “you can go and have a bite… and still be hearing that…”
