SteveModeratorBuilt around the spirit of the old Op-amp Big Muff, this thing is pure ’90s/2000s sludge. Think massive, saturated walls of fuzz that made those grunge records hit so hard. It’s got that raw, amp-crushing edge that turns a simple riff into something heavy and alive. The controls are super responsive, so you can go from thick, velvety, fuzz to tighter grit without fighting the pedal. Loads of complexity and depth that just sits right in a mix and makes everything feel bigger. Don’t be afraid to tune your guitar to drop D and let the metal flow!
Side note: This iteration of the Harbinger Fuzz was built buy my 10 year old granddaughter (with a little guidance from grandpa) by while visiting us over the summer.

BarryKeymasterVery nice, and it is always excellent IMO to get the kids involved.

ParticipantLooks great. Gotta love the faceplates!
I have another of these boards in my stash, and need to work it up.
Goal is to take some guidance from @Barry ‘s Diode clipping workbook and play around with some options.September 3, 2026 at 4:04 pm #40461
SteveModerator@JasonWickersham I’d have to agree with you on the faceplates! Please post your results on your findings with the various clipping options.
I am sure that there are others what would interested in them as well.
Thanks!

jmgrabowskiParticipantSweet faceplate. I finished mine up last month. Wizard came out a little too red but it still rocks.

What a coincidence, just a few weeks apart. I really had a great time there and checked a bucket list item.
I was at the Umphrey’s McGee show and that video above was the opening act The Record Company which was a pleasant surprise.

Participant@Barry , jealous, I have wanted to see Umphrey’s for a solid 20 years now. Perfect venue for the band.
