  If they're Sunn users,they certainly aren't using them in this video,Marshall half stacks for the guitar and looks like Ampeg for the bass.Do they record with them ? Mel.

Buzz uses marshall cabinets but uses two Sunn PB preamps w/carver power amps


Kevin (bass) usually used sunn beta bass heads, dunno if he's using that in this video.

Man, and I spelled their name wrong in the subject line, how embarrassing.

I know I'm a new guy and all, but I had to comment.  The Melvins have kicked my butt since the early 90's.  Love the melvins.  I went to visit my old guitarist who lives in LA and we went and saw the melvins, tomahawk(I'm kind of a big Mike Patton fan) at the henry fonda theatre(2004 maybe?) and was once again blown away.  And, of course, put mike and buzz together with some Dave Lombardo= FANTOMAS.  ohh, man.

Here...

you can plainly see Joe Preston's Coliseum's being used when he was in The Melvins.
I'm sure Buzz's Beta Leads are in there somewhere as well.

and for the full show...

I'm gonna e-mail this guy and see about getting one. For $40 new and handmade, nothing's really any better, unless you made one yourself of course...
Title: Re: The Melvins - one of my favorite videos
Post by: grimniggzy on December 02, 2010, 08:17:50 am
Yeah, thats what I said.
I'm haven't used fuzz since I put my Big Muffs away many moons ago but for $40 I just went for it.
I think this fuzz sounds more organic anyway.
He'll put you on the list for one to be made, it takes about 2 weeks then he hits you up with payment info.
He can also personalize it with anything you want on it doesn't have to be that graphic, I'm currently waiting on mine.
He'll also build you a pedal from the ground up if you want.

Yeah I e-mailed him. I asked him to just put the graphic of Buzz on it, seems very professional to me, like a signature pedal, that way.

Mine's finished, payed for and on its way today. I got the green one.
Title: Re: The Melvins - one of my favorite videos
Post by: Walt-Dogg on December 07, 2010, 03:55:54 pm
Mine's the raw aluminum one. Which means, I can't tell if it's the one on the right of left, but it's the one with the red text on the inside of the casing. I'm going to have to put off sending payment till around Christmas almost.
Title: Re: The Melvins - one of my favorite videos
Post by: grimniggzy on December 08, 2010, 09:44:45 am
Yeah, figured one of those was yours Walt-Dogg.

I think yours is the one on the right thats a little shinier.
But I'm just going by what I thought from comparing these...

(http://www.rhythmanddetonation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/redguts-300x180.jpg)

When he told me I could make the pedal any color I wanted I browsed his site and decided that shade of green was crazy enough and not too bright to look cool atop his face.

I almost didn't have enough $$$ in my account to cover this either. I forgot about it and made a big purchase last weekend, but I had just enough to cover it and still be able to see Crowbar on Monday.
If I wasn't already 99% done Chrismas shopping we'd both be waiting for them.
Title: Re: The Melvins - one of my favorite videos
Post by: Walt-Dogg on December 08, 2010, 04:49:02 pm
Yeah, the one on the right for sure is mine then.

I have the money in my bank, but cash is getting a bit tight for me right now so I told my family that I wanted a custom ordered Bazz Fuss for Christmas. So in week or so when I see my family, I'll get the money for it and send it to Mike for my pedal.

haha, commendable hustle.

Post by: Walt-Dogg on December 15, 2010, 03:12:42 pm
Very, haha. Mine came today, I ended up just wiring the money to him from my bank anyways. It's a good pedal, lack of controls is actually a downside and I thought it would be an upside, haha oh well. I do like it though, definitely a cross between a Russian Big Muff and maybe I guess a Fuzz Factory really.
Title: Re: The Melvins - one of my favorite videos
Post by: grimniggzy on December 16, 2010, 08:29:49 am
Yeah, I'm 100% there with you on the whole lack of control but I guess get it. Definitely a cool pedal, I like that it kinda sounds organic the way it does. looks like I'll still be pulling out one of my older big muffs though for now, still need THAT sound.
I think my next pedal purchase will either be a Crowther Prunes & Custard or a Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie B between those and my current pedals I think I'll have all my tones covered as far as recording is concerned.

Great video, thanks for posting. I totally dig this song. I have a love/hate relationship with The Melvins. When seek them out to listen to them, I'm not impressed or not in the mood for them once I get there. When I by chance run across them, I'm blown away - like in this case, I wasn't expecting to have my ass kicked by this video. To me, the Melvins are starting to become like Clutch, meaning I had the same relationship with Clutch for years and years and then one day - the ass kicking became permanent and I love em all the time - anytime is Clutch time. I think The Melvins will be there soon. Going to work on that!

By the way, going to scout out a second Beta Lead today! a 4X10 combo!
