Sanford And Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz Pedal Used By Surachai To Melt Faces
Surachai shows off the stomp box that creates his custom sound when performing as a metal act. Sonny, a friend of his, created the Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard Distortion/Fuzz Pedal. Even though this box looks small and innocent, it can drive heavy distortion through walls.
The key to this particular box is that it is a full-range pedal. Unlike guitar effects pedals and bass pedals, the Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz pedal encompasses the entire range of EQ. Be warned, though. This is not the innocent stompbox it appears to be, and is designed to take the paint off walls. Plus, it comes with custom artwork on the inside and hand written serial numbering on the outside.
Check this link for an mp3 sample of the pedal:
BILL HOLLAND: Hey everybody. Welcome back to Gearwire.Com. I’m Bill Holland and I’m here with Justin McGrath...
JUSTIN MCGRATH: Hello.
BILL HOLLAND: ...and Surachai.
SURACHAI: Hello.
BILL HOLLAND: And we’re going to talk about a custom pedal now. Your friend made this pedal?
SURACHAI: Yes. His name is Sonny, and essentially with this is is a Big Muff clone, that giant, bulky Russian thing that everybody loves but essentially what this is is called a Blue Beard, and it’s full range which is kind of special because well I do synth work and those are full range, so it’s not like just bass. It’s not just guitars. So, essentially what happens is all these metal bands are having these things on everything. So like the band that uses it is Mastodon. They just went like really big, and a lot of engineers just keep it in the actual studio. But yeah it’s a fuzz pedal but it’s a brutal as hell and like it is essentially the only thing I use when doing my metal stuff, and actually I throw voices over it as well and, I mean, all the full-range stuff so essentially it does anything. But, yeah I mean like, it’s like written by him and it has like a serial number which this is like number 24, I don't know what they’re up to now like a couple of a hundred. And Sonny is like the nicest human being on the planet so much so that if I took this off, I wish I had my screwdriver with me, but like if you took this off and basically one like that, you would see that he drew a custom picture for me. It’s like -- Justin, would you describe it?
JUSTIN MCGRATH: It’s like a Blue Octopus or something.
BILL HOLLAND: Blue octopus? Okay.
SURACHAI: It’s like it’s a neon yellow background with an octopus with a top hat, and I mean that’s as metal as you can get, right? So --
BILL HOLLAND: That’s pretty damn metal.
SURACHAI: Oh wait. The best part of it is it’s just like blindingly blue, there you go, and this thing just like beams at you in the middle of your like dark ass setup. There you go.
BILL HOLLAND: That’s pretty dark, man. Okay. Well, lesson learned. If you’re making some Norwegian black metal, definitely pick up this pedal. Do we have a brand name for that or web site or anything?
SURACHAI: You can check Atomic Music online and they sell it through that web site. You can contact him through that web site as well, and this is called a Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz.
BILL HOLLAND: Fantastic. Well, thanks guys, and we will see you back at [PH] Sonitech at Gearwire.Com.
Sounds Great!
the pedal
you should do a follow up
you should do a follow up vid with a demo then.
i agree
at the moment, my hands are tied to do so since we have "covered" the pedal already. However, I might talk to surachai about doing a demo on my own time and recording the results. Maybe a performance?
