Members Fool Evolved Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 Really have been wanting to play around with a fuzz factory for years but I just cant justify spending that much on a pedal, I buy mostly cheap effects for fun, the most expensive pedal I own is probably my PN-2 because it was a lucky find at a pawn shop. right now for fuzz I have a dano french toast, dano cool cat, and a J. Everman fuzz drive. Should I even bother with a FF clone? If yes who makes em!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onyxrhino Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 Zoom Ultrafuzz good alternative to the Fuzz Factory, but i'd say you can find homemade fuzz factory clones on ebay or messgeboards for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nankuamedha Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 If you're into DIY I'd recemend buying and building a Noise Swash kit from 4ms. It's much more out of hand then the Fuzz Factory in terms of noise generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Boltino Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 Go for a used Vexter Fuzz Factory. +1 If it's the pedal you really want, save up and buy it. If you buy some clone/knockoff you'll always wonder if it sounds as good as the real thing (which it probably doesn't). You can find a used vexter for just over $100.

Members orangesix Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 get a vextor fuzz factory. i have both the zoom ultra fuzz and fuzz factory. they're similar, but there's really nothing quite like a fuzz factory. the cool thing about the ultra fuzz is that you can get more "useable" sounds out of it. vextor ff is probably cheaper than an ultra fuzz if you can even find one.

Members thom Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 -Used vexter fuzzfactory.-A diy clone of ebay. And else, I'm sure one of our fellow forumites could build you one for cheap.-Zoom Ultra fuzz. Kickass fuzzfactory-esque pedal that can be found for cheaps. Had a Wolf Computer. It's a cool glitchy velcro fuzz that can do pulsating synthy stuff as well as a couple classic fuzz/od tones. Doesn't have a whole lot in common with a fuzz factory impo. Fuzz factory is probably a little bit more usable and 'musical', wc can be pretty unpredictable and takes a lot of knob twirling. Can be good thing depending on your musical style I guess. Wc is less noisy impo, in terms of unwanted humm/buzzing sounds. If it doesn't have to be a real clone/copy, I'm sure there's at least one devi ever fuzz that covers some of the same ground as a fuzz factory a does a whole range nasty stuttering bees-in-a-jar sounds.

Members Zappa74 Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 If you have wanted one for years, thats justification enough for the price. Like others said- snag a used vexter model and then flip it for no loss if you dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a clone because I was bored to compare with a buddies and they were nearly identical. Even FF's differ quite a bit from each other actually.

Even FF's differ quite a bit from each other actually. I realize that the circuit itself is simple and varies due the nature of it; I just prefer to give Mr. Vex my $$ instead of a cloner. I guess building one for yourself is a little different but the OP didn't mention that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rileykill Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 love the ff ..... i dont understand why so many people find it unuseable. its one of my go-to pedals for leads. vexter ff's are fairly inexpensive .... maybe $120 used?
