Members paul88lx Posted December 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 swollen pickle is a muff. Didn't seem quite as harsh in the vids and reviews I watched. Probably all the scooping and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marshallmel Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have a slightly tweaked Red Llama clone a guy built for me and I really, really like it. The Wren and Cuff Red Camel is sweet and is based off of the Red Llama. [video=youtube;fnn6KmoM0fg] Gene, I'm sorry if this is a muff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paul88lx Posted December 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I am digging the Red Camel. But all I keep reading about are clones. Where can I has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 VFE FRH Not my favorite muff clone, but VFE makes fantastic stuff. OP, other fuzzes to check out: Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom - criminally underrated. Price is almost too good to be true on the used market. Skreddy Supa Tone - huge bass, very open, tons of gain.

Members Marshallmel Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I don't know the difference between a muff and a fuzz. I have the GGG Red Llama clone , slightly tweaked of course, and it sounds rediculously good through the clean channel of the Shiva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grunge782 Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 Get the Swollen Pickle and stop worrying about it. It can get a bunch of great fuzz tones for a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members "sasquatch" Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 for awesome vintage + extra gain. the buffer makes it play nice with certain pedals. cleans up EXCEPTIONALLY well with guitar volume. awesome tone. con: no tone knob awesome fuzz tones. {censored} you if you don't like a muff. extra tone blah with the wicker blah. these are 2 awesome pedals.

Members Phrophus Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm no fuzz expert, but I've heard really good things about these: Earthquaker Devices - Hoof, Tone Reaper, and dream crusher. Blackout Effectors - Musket, Fixed Fuzz Deluxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have an EQD Hoof 3 knob. It has the least scoop of pretty much any Muff I've owned. It almost blends the clean signal a bit. Nice pedal. Check out the Stomp Under Foot Civil War. This is the one that did it for me and turned me into a fuzz head.

Members sleewell Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 i really dig the musket that i have right now. great sustain, and having a mids knob is sweet as well as the focus knob which can change things up quite a bit. i wish that it ran on 9v batteries though, gat damn hippies.

Members peavey_impact Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 For something unique and a bit more versatile than your typical 'fuzz pedal', check out one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 Also, check out the EQD Monarch. IMO, it sounds and feels more like a fuzz than a Distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spawnofthesith Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 swollen pickle is a muff. Its so much more than a muff, imo. I love my swollen pickle There are definitely quite a few tones that I can pull out of the SP that I could never get out of a muff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soundstorm Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 Really been gassin for an Earthquake Devices Hoof, probably the best sounding, most usable across the board fuzz I've heard yet. Musket Fuzz is also interesting. Kylesa uses those with great results. Depends on the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nerine Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I really liked the Swollen Pickle. You also have the ZVex Fuzz Factory to consider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yarbicus Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 How much fuzz? How crazy? How tight? How crazy? Too many options. I absolutely love my Skreddy Lunar Module but it more of a tight, controlled fuzz. For pure craziness, it would be hard to beat the Blackout Effector Twosome. Had one and it was just too much for me.

Members telephant Posted December 16, 2011 Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 Its all about figuring out which "type" of fuzz you like i.e. Fuzz Face, Muff, Tone Bender etc... and the differences between them. Muff sounds massive for rhythm and kind of scooped lead tone. It also doesn't clean up with the guitar volume well. Fuzz Face has more mids than a Muff, with a smoother top end and it seems to mix more with your amps voicing instead of layering over it like a Muff. And depending on the type, they clean up really well the guitar volume. But I find for rhythm, they're best when the guitar volume is rolled back a few notches so its not as blurry. When it's time for leads, thats when you dime the guitar volume for ultimate sustain. Tone Bender is kind of a brighter, gnarlier version of a Fuzz Face. Admittedly I have the least experience with these. Obviously I'm really biased towards the FF sound. Their lead tone is much fatter/mid heavy than a muff, but they don't have that crazy aggressive rhythm sound either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
