Behringer SF300 Secret Mode

How is this fuzz into a crunch amp ? I'm asking this, because I do it with all my fuzz pedals except the Big Muff ones.

That's the stuff

Doom Machine into Tube Amps Only !

The real secret hack: This is Behringer's take on the Boss FZ2 Hyper Fuzz, a pedal that can cost a few hundred upwards to $1000.

Just got this pedal and whilst having the tuner on the behringer is pushing odd clipped segments of noise through? 😮

1.5 my fave ... All sound good 👍

I have this fuzz.. I'll check out 1.5. Sounds good.. I had 2 other fuzz pedals. Sold them and kept this one.. Only one I need..

What about the 2.5 mode?

Scored one for $18 a few years ago. I should have grabbed two. Great video!

I plan to have my Behringer rehoused in a metal enclosure. When that happens, I also plan on installing nicer knobs and a four-way switch so that access to 1.5 is more attainable 😊

Fuzz 1.5 is preferred. Does anything useful happen when in the in-between position between Fuzz 2 and Boost?

This is how I watched the playboy channel when I was a kid.

That is fuckin wild 🤘

One of the things you'll notice whether it's an overdrive, fuzz or distortion pedal, the hi knob always makes everything sound super thin. Best setting for me has always been 9oclock or less and then adjust the treble on the amp to taste to bring back some clarity. Not sure how this pedal performs for fast parts because most fuzzes don't take fast playing very well. This problem is always easily solved by stomping on a overdrive placed first in the chain going into fuzz then into amp.

All three are great. Each one does it's own thing. The 1.5 is really cool, but I'll have to go with 2. Electric Wizard all day! But I have been using 3 a lot lately to boost other pedals or boost the dirty channel of my amp. Great pedal!

Your demo sounds like your auditioning for a Stoner Doom band! Thanks for the demo. I shall get the pedal. 💀🎧

Worst pedal ever. Lol

Is there a 2.5 mode?

Awesome!, thanks 👊

Had my eye on this pedal for years, watched tons of demos and finally ordered one yesterday from sweetwater while they’re on sale for $14. Came to watch your demo and it’s got me hyped to see what tones I can expect switching between high and low output pickups 🔥

I can't believe no one had made this in clone form using a dip switch block to toggle each setting on/off (similar to the expandora).

The Jazzmaster with the pedal is the Smashingpumpkinsinator.

That's not secret mode, mate. That is - in fact - Electric Wizard mode.

I discovered a second secret mode, between Fuzz 2 and Boost

Using the correct guitar as well. 🤩

Kinda a Kyuss meets Electric Wizard sound. Cool.

is the middle Position possible with fuzz2 and boost?

How would this pedal sound hooked to the Blackstar fly 3 w/extra cab( 6 watt output). Is it worth buying or will it not show it's full potential?

Anything with the p-90's. A lot of songs were recorded in the past using p-90s. So many it's mind blowing. Though on stage a lot of players will use their regular sg/les paul double coils to break through the mix as well as decrease the feedback

I have been looking for that NIN bass tone and that's it. I use a compressor and overdrive going into the super fuzz on 1.5 mode with the bass dimed, and treble about noon. A noise suppressor at the end, and there it is. Warm, fuzzy, rumbling, with no extra noise. Another alternative is to get 2 SF300s and have one on boost mode, going into the other on 1.5, with a noise gate.

kooL

is there a 2.5?

I hate fuzz 1 on this thing. I use exclusively fuzz 2 with everything cranked except the gain. Sounds just like EW

Haven't been able to get fuzz tones quite right but I've been trying to get them on a Schecter fretless that has Lundgren pickups in it. After watching this I think I'm gonna try putting one of my EQs in front of the fuzz and cut some of the pickup volume heading into the pedal.

What kind of SG is that you’re using? Looks awesome. Great demo!

I just received one a few days ago. I like the mid heavy selection (#1) most except it’s more mids than I would normally want. The scooped sound (#2) I don’t like much at all. Only way I can keep 2). from sounding buzzy is to turn the treble down a little more but the mid heavy one has endless sustain and a great aggressive sound. Thanks for revealing the secret mode, I would’ve never thought of it. With both on it sounds almost like it’s smoothing out the mids by raising #2) and lowering #1). The secret mode is definitely the best!

While I'm kinda on the fence about 1.5 mode ... plus I'd suggest ... just call it mode 3 ... aka 1 + 2!equals ... I'm sure others have tried this ... but you can use the exact same inbetween setting with mode 2 and the boost, and that's oddly interesting, as you get quite a weird mix ... of your clean sound +boosted+ so well defined plus a underneath fuzz ... the downside is that boost at least on the admittedly only a few setting I tried amplifies the noise floor so is a rather noisy affair ... but I would say interesting enough to ay with, plus a noise/gate ... may help

Sorry mate, but this aint my kind of music, but you obviously love the genre.
I appreciate your insight into the SF300 so I gave you the thumbs up.. Rock on....

Wow 1.5 sounds the best imo…although they all sound a bit like static

This is smashing pumpkins as faawwwwwwk

Pair it with the UM300. It will blow you away. UM-dist.75%/ high 50%/ low 100%/ mid and mid freq. 50% and level 45%....SF-level 45%/ treb, bass,& gain 100%. Mode switch 1 1/2. Enjoy

Wow that 1.5 moment hit the spot!!

Sounds terrible!

Love this fuzz it has all the sound anyone could want.....great video

The boost really clears up the sound especially with a digital pedal that is already kinda muddy. I can pretty much get all the tones I want with that combo.

Cool! Nice riffin too!

The secret mode is so secret you can't even tell it's a mode. BS mode is more like it. Mode 3 is the only thing useable

Excellent demo!! Sounds exactly as nasty, choked-out, compressed and without any pick-attack as my own. Hahahaha, crappiest fuzz ever

Thanks for sharing the Secret Mode 1.5 It sounds great on a Tele!

Did you ask for permission from the fuzz Gods?
