Members Blakemore Effects Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah, even if a fuzz doesn't work live, make sure to keep them around for recording. That's where a lot of them shine. I'm looking at you, Big Muff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members d4rk0 Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 I am not a fan of Muff style fuzzes. Just not my thang. My Fulltone 69mkII however...well lets just say I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members arthurdent'd Posted August 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just one more flip your propensity for Muffs under different monikers leaves me stymied my good fellow, I spent the day cleaning and setting up my new guitar, but played it for 15 minutes or so, I agree completely with the whole tone bypass thing, really opens it up. I have had several NYC, and a couple different Russian Muffs, they just were a buzz-kill in a band setting, well added a bunch of buzz also, but not the kind of buzz that I like. I have owned a re-issue Fuzz Face, and tried a myriad fuzz varients at my local shop like FuzzFactories, 69 Fulltones, Tortuga Yeti and such, they just never did much for me in a band setting. But I am not currently in a band, but recording new material and doing the email/long distance recording thing with different people, so I thought it time to give the fuzz a try again. Here is the current set-up, I have to wire up the Pork Loin later after the Black Finger then into the loop where the Flanger Hoax is with the EQ then into the Big Muff, into the DMM then the Wet and lastly the CAE Boost.

Members arthurdent'd Posted August 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 got the Pork Loin wired up, it seems to stack well with the BMTW. This pedal seems to sound better with single coils to my ears.....I'll play some more after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've had the big muff with tone wicker, pretty cool pedal. I tend to go through a lot of fuzz pedals and the only constant I have had is the fulltone octafuzz. But, I am liking my Wilson effects fuzz at the moment. If both guitarists in the band use fuzz you really need to EQ that {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 Fuzzes have their place for sure. Thing is, that place is nowhere near my board. Best o luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PKTrono Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 i've got the fuzz factory, mastotron, octophant, and cool cat fuzz v1 wired up right now. a noise swash gets subbed in occasionally. try something other than a muff. i never get on with those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turnstylepoet Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't get along with muff style fuzzes even after really trying to make it work. The first fuzz that worked for me was the Algal Bloom. I love that thing. I got the Octophant and it does it for me as well. I have heard that EQing a muff makes all the difference in the world. I may give that a shot sometime. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OMTerria Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 Yeah if you want to do a Muff live, either get one with some kind of mid range boost (Deus Ex Machina, Supercollider, Musket, BYOC, etc) or turn it up real loud. Both have worked for me in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arthurdent'd Posted August 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 not in a band right now, so that is less of an issue. The BMTW sounds pretty good to me right now, hitting it with the Pork Loins darker sounds is reaping tasty rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have worked for me in the past the volume is the key for fuzz I think. Ya gotta run a Whores rig and crush for the Big Muff to show its stuff. I'm not able to do that....but recording with it is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OMTerria Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I mean, I run a Hot Rod Deluxe and get by alright. Some fuzzes are definitely better at that thing than others though. The Fuzz Factory was hella awesome for rocking out solo but had to be like deafening to come out over bass and drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
