Members Fine_Young_Fool Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 So I have a lil bigmuff. What are some other fuzzes for variety, and will handle chords ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spaceshot Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 i like to have a fuzzface type fuzz along with bigmuff. germanium are warmer and woolier, silicon more brash. Analog man makes nice ones, the newest hendrix dunlop fuzzface and classic silicon are real nice. The Roger Mayer axis fuzz is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johanwastaken Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 For Dinosaur Jr. sounds, a Big Muff is the way to go. You've already got that covered. No Age though, I have no idea. I would like to know. The CD is quite great, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fine_Young_Fool Posted July 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I had a fuzz face clone and I hated it. I think it was silicon. What should I expect them to sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johanwastaken Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 Silicon fuzzes are supposed to be more harsh and brittle than germanium fuzzes with are apparently smoother and tube-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOULKITCHEN Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 You might look into a Frantone "Sweet". It's "Muffish" but still has its own personality...cool pedal. Definitely can "live" on a board next to a BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the design. You can have "harsh" germaniums and "smooth" silicons. Still, for the most part your statement is correct. The best thing to do is worry about the "sound", and not whether its germanium or silicon (or op amp based FTM...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fine_Young_Fool Posted July 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 What about the peppermint fuzz? It sounds really sweet to me. Kinda what I'm thinking about tone wise, from the youtube vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda what I'm thinking about tone wise, from the youtube vids. It has great reviews. It's essentially a "supercharged Fuzz Face", but the different transistors and the bias knob allow it to do some really cool things that a Fuzz Face won't. Good build quality and resale value if you want to sell it down the road too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
