  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.

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...

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.
