#fuzzface

watching an episode of of that pedal show featuring a prominent pedal designer/builder and they're talking about the history of overdrive/distortion/fuzz effects and it's bringing me so much joy to watch these extremely knowledgable and passionate people nerd tf out about pretty much exactly my special interest. and it's not like music (and specifically guitar) effects technology can reasonably be formally, academically studied, so in all likelihood they're probably some of the preeminent experts in the whole world (analogman notwithstanding, analogman is the unimpeachable legend of guitar technology). and they're so excited that they keep getting ahead of themselves and needing to collectively dial it back so they can keep the episode at least a little bit coherent. like truly aha i do that. also i'm learning that opamp is its own circuit fit inside a teeny tiny chip?? and it's the reason that opamp technology is so ridiculously loud compared to other types of solid state amplification?? anyways moral of the story is, i'm in love with two weird nerdy middle-aged white british guys and an even nerdier middle-aged dude from kansas and their encyclopaedic knowledge of guitars and guitar accessories
