Members DaveGrima Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 Im thinking of picking up a fuzz box soon and dont want to spend a fortune . .so I was wondering what's the best fuzz box for under $100.

Members Jacek Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have the Righteous Tones Sonic Mayhem...great pedal so far. True bypass, cost me $75 new. http://righteoustones.com/sonic_mayhem.html I admit I am not a fuzz guy, I bought it mostly on impulse to have something else besides straight distortion in my chain...but it's been growing on me. Finding stuff to play on it that I wouldn't on my regular distortion box. The true bypass part is great...just leave it in my chain and switch it on/off when I need it, does not affect my tone when off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'd say Big Muff ... or Little Big Muff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members murch33 Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you're able to build then I'd say get a GGG Big Muff kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members english_bob Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 It's worth considering what kind of fuzz you're after- there are lots of classic designs that sound very different to one another. The three "classics" are probably the Big Muff, Tonebender and Fuzz Face, although there are lots of others worth considering- Fender Blender, Octavia, Roland BeeBaa, Shi-ei Companion, Maestro Fuzz-Tone, Lovetone Big Cheese, ZVex Fuzz Factory, Mosrite Fuzz-Rite, Jordan Bosstone... Although originals of most of the vintage designs will set you back a LOT of money, there are near or exact clones of most of them available for a lot less (Monsterpiece have a very good reputation around HC for making great Fuzz Face, Jordan Bosstone and Tonebender clones reasonably cheaply, and possibly even Big Muffs if you ask nicely), and DIY kits to build several of them. DIY is fun, and fuzz pedals are a pretty good place to start since they're usually really simple. General Guitar Gadgets is one option, another is BuildYourOwnClone, who have Fuzz Face, Tonebender, Octavia and Big Muff kits- their Tonebender and Fuzz Face kits have recently been upgraded with all top-notch components, and the Big Muff kit has a 4-way tone switch that selects stock (scooped mids), flat mids, mid boosted and tone bypass. I can vouch for the quality of BYOC's kits and their excellent, clear instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hand Amputation Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I really really really enjoy my Little Big Muff. I have a Russian as well as an old 70's green Muff and my LBM keeps its spot on my board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveGrima Posted April 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. I checked out the byoc tonebender and it looks pretty fun. Whats the difference between the types of fuzzes, tonebender, Big Muff, etc, in terms of tone? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LSDis4me Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 Dude, it's only been a day. The search for fuzz is a journey, not a destination. Damn man, give me a minute to think that my pedalboard is complete. But the Hyperion gives me the tone I've wanted. I've had a J. Everman fuzz, and the Foxrox CC2, but this new one is it! (for now).

Members TomCTC Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I dig my Muff, but I'd rather have a Fuzzface. So that's what I'd suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
