Members Elessar [Sly] Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 It's all in the title. I'm not too fussed about the particular type of fuzz at this point (as long as it isn't just for noise since I need it as a generic fuzz). But I need fuzz that cuts through the mix live with two guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, this is true, but I'd say hit a tonebender-style fuzz. They're like a midrange slap in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mid knob is very useful and it does a good job for what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 i'd like to point out that a soulbender fully clockwise sounds exactly like a rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine after my dirt. I'm going to try an upper mid hump tonight and have the other guitar a tad scooped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t_e_l_e Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 tonebender imho depends if you play humbucker or single coils... liked it more with my les paul and for the strat i used to use a big muff (but this got lost easily if not on the bridge pu position) now i love my octophant and it really cuts through a ehx graphic fuzz is very versatile and you can eq it how you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caeman Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 The scooped sound of a fuzz is a feature to some guitarists. It is a desired sound from ye olde days. So, boosting the mids (before or after, different sonic results) or maybe have the second guitarist back down their volume during your fuzz-laden solo.

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted December 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Would the hyperion still cut through even if the other guitar is using dirt? I'm not talking about fuzz or high gain, but a ballsy overdrive. I'm only talking about one song, but just interested to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 depends on the sound you're going for. Pharaoh, Supercollider, Tonebender MKI, Algal Bloom, Buzzaround... so many choices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 I never got along that well with my Fulltone Soul Bender. Everyone kept telling me how well it cut through the mix, but for some reason it just never gelled with me. Because of that, I'd be more likely to recommend (like others have said) a Rat, or a fuzz with a clean blend could help you retain some of your mids. You're still going to have a tough time cutting through with another guitar player though. Either way though, I think I may sell my Soulbender soon if something doesn't click for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpd78 Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Either a Colorsound Overdriver/Power Boost or something based on it would be my first choice for a fuzz that can cut through a mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a very good clone then. Does it have a master volume control?If you turn the gain up (with the volume set to taste), then it reaches a point towards the top of the gain range where it transforms from a boost/driver into a great fuzz.
