Members Bro Blue Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I use the Swollen Pickle Mk.II. There's always the Muff. In my humble opinion the best fuzz to be had is one of the following: Swollen PickleBarber TrifectaMusket Fuzz My suggestion is to get a cheaper fuzz and see if you like it. You can usually get used Muffs pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hm. I would have said FZ-2 before FZ-3, for sure. FZ-2 is a superfuzz variant. Swollen Pickle would be a good start, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer the FZ-3 myself. I like the boost function on the FZ-2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JMR Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Big Muff with tone wicker. I've gotten some great doom/stoner tones with the tone switch off and using the guitar's tone to control the amount of treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pinkzep52 Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I've been using my Monsterpiece Si Fuzz Face clone with good success. I love how it cleans/brightens up when you roll back the volume a bit, works very well for the more chilled out trippy sections of some stoner songs.

Members Krallum Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I play in standard tuning. all wrong bWSZYUoO7rE I will agree that big bands usually end up using cheap fuzzes because they're cheap, easy to replace and something they're used to. Its more about how many 4x12s and bass heads you're playing through, than what fuzz pedal you have. I've seen a few awesome awesome stoner/doom bands just using the clean channel on an amp, some kind of bluesbreaker or rat distortion combo. Its also relatively easy to build a fuzz, i've built a couple booteeks myself for around $60 each which can be easily modded [replacing caps / resistors / adding pots] to give a pretty wide range of sounds.

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 In my opinion, you don't even necessarily need a fuzz. Tuning down to at least D, as already mentioned, will help. The other biggest factor to me is to either use your neck pickup, or to turn the tone on your bridge pickup down a bit. If you do that, most pedals with a fairly healthy amount of gain will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BHz_econo Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Any of these old school fuzzes will work. Drop your low-E down to A and leave the rest in standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wjbratcher Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I have a tele that I keep tuned down a whole step and I find that this darkens the sound enough to use a bridge pickup alone. sounds pretty good. I use a barber trifecta which is cool for an old-school stoner sound, but my russian big muff sounds more like these newer "doom" bands. $15 worth of toan, bro. that said, I'm playing through an old bf fender combo amp, so, if I was serious about playing that type of music, I'd have to get a 4x12 to be cool. any decent guitar -> big muff -> any respectable loud amp (SS or tube) -> 4x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
