Members Dinosaur Sr. Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 When gigging with a smaller amp, I usually have the amp goosed enough for the fuzz to get smoothed out a bit, but when using a higher headroom amp, I can't help but feel that some of my favorite fuzzes ('69, Ram's Head, for example) sound a bit too thin, almost on the buzzy side. Just picked up a Catalinbread RAH (which is amazing in its own right) and I have been stacking some of my fuzz through it, and it certainly does the trick, it really helps fatten everything up. But can't help but feel some would see this as fuzz pedal sacrilege. Anyone else doing something similar on their boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theAntihero Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ive stacked fuzzes before, the Fz-2 and Noisemaker Donner Party stack super well together despite both being insanely high gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I usually like my fuzz unstacked, but sometimes it can sound really good into a really dynamic overdrive, can make for a smoother, thicker sound, but seems to sacrifice some texture, in my experience.

Members reverberlayed Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I used to love my Big Muff into my Catalinbread DLS so I can relate. The DLS made it sounds like my muff was going into a Marshall so it gave me a different fuzz tone than my standard muff into amp tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 the RAH is basically a solid state preamp simulation, so that's theoretically more like hitting the front of an amp with a fuzz than it is hitting a DS-1 or something. If it sounds good it sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jw10 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yes I hate muff through my amp at bedroom levels. Sounds like running distortion straight into the mixer. Blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToonHollow Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Love stacking any and all dirt. Naga Viper, FZ-2, Spooky Tooth, Pharaoh. The trick is setting all to low gain, from most trebly to most bassy, or least that's what works for my setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I do have a smaller amp (20 watts) so that bastard is almost always broken up... perfect for fuzz. No stacking needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hurtzher Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I always stack my HBOD with my Musket. I never really use the Musket by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrChrisos Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Are oyu kidding, I love stacking my Monsterpiece Classic through my Timmy - Fuzz into OD is byootiful. OD is just trying to replicate you overdriven amp - so it makes perfect sense. Hell, amps with drive chanels are just clean amps with an OD circuit built in anyway. You think Hendrix was playing into a nice clean amp, being sure there was no breakup before he hit the fuzz on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sparkfriction Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 i only stuck fuzz with OD/boost in front if i split the humbuckers into coils And sometimes behind the fuzz to shape the tone/frequencys... i tried fuzz into cranked dirty amp thing - i dont like it...
