Members _Idioteque_ Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 What do you people think would be the best choice for a fuzz for early(1st ep and siamese dream) smashing pumpkins tone? Songs I mainly have in mind are Mayonaise(wall of sound big muff type fuzz) and Rocket(sputtery raspy fuzz. I know next to nothing about fuzz pedals that sound like that type of tone). Pweeze?

Members onyxrhino Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 The Little Big Muff should do a good job of this, too. Also, I really like using my Zoom Ultra Fuzz for the Rocket sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _Idioteque_ Posted February 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Big Muff w/tone wicker I'm going for this unless something else pops up (namely a devi ever rocket fuzz at or under 100, although it wont happen).Saw the demos and played one a few days ago and it's tons of fun. It'll be my first fuzz too. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheLemon Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 i think a dice works triangle muff diver could get you close. they're $130 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Well the muff is what was used mostly on Siamese Dream, but most of that sound comes from overdubbing tons of the same guitar part with the muff. Your amp would also be very important. What are you using? If you're interested, this is Jeff (their current touring guitarist) Schroeder's live rig. I've seen them twice now and he definitely gets the Siamese Dream sounds no problem live with this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ejk Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 BYOC Triangle Large Beaver or a GGG Triangle Large Beaver. Check out ebay and you'll probably catch one or the other at some point. I think there was somebody on these forums that was selling one or the other.

Members cobalt-60 Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 No fuzz on that rack? Doesn't the micro synth have a fuzz section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Severed Pumpkin Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 For the price, The Subdecay F-Bomb is a great choice. Not a muff-style pedal, but it can still do Pumpkins tones convincingly IMO. Check out from about 1:48-3:41 of my vid. There are parts of Drown, Rocket, and Hello Kitty Kat respectively: [YOUTUBE]LAalQDj7OF8[/YOUTUBE] Sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Doesn't the micro synth have a fuzz section? Yeah, but I really doubt that would be used for a lot of rythym work. On Siamese Dream it was mainly used for solos, like the Cherub Rock solo, for example. I'm not sure what was used for that really buzzy Rocket sound.

Members iamthearm Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 just play any old muff style fuzz into a jcm800 and scoop the mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they used for fuzz on that one, but I know they used a Boss octave pedal on that track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it possibly be a Fender Blender I wonder? Maybe a combination of Blender and Octave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'll add another for Big Muff with Tone Wicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jorhay1 Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 used big muff or guyatone super fuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orange worker Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 if you can get a stress FX bmp that would be a great starting place. i had one for a while and a mayo at the same time and the stress fx held its own at less than half the price.

Members Severed Pumpkin Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Could it possibly be a Fender Blender I wonder? Maybe a combination of Blender and Octave? Possibly. I'm more inclined to think it's a Big Muff, multi-tracked and EQ'ed for more treble and mids, and mixed with the octave pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Amplifier Worship Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Which muff would you guys say is better for the SD sound? green, black russian or NYC RI. I'm thinking NYC, but all my muffs are at the rehearsal space so I cant try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
