have you tried an arbiter?


and of course the fuzz factory basically makes anything it touches sound better...

 

 

Fuzz Factory is high on my list. Some others I was considering:

 

Peppermint Fuzz

Some sort of Skreddy

Z-Vex Box of Rock

Fulltone GT-500

big muff.

for the moments when you get tired of the TS mid bump and the BM mid scoop
:thu:

 

That sounds like a perfect answer, but surely running a __/"""__ type pedal into a """___/""" type pedal will give you a _______ type sound?

depends on wat kind of fuzz flavor your after


I use a silicon fuzz face in front of my TS

 

 

So the signal chain is guitar > fuzz face > TS?

 

Does that boost to solo level? Or just change the tone/saturation?

Good question: a bit buzzy, but I don't want all of the "body" of my sound to disappear. The Keeley modded TS9 sounds pretty transparent, so I'd like a fuzz that is buzzy but rich with harmonics and, of course, sustain.

So I'm just curious: when I use the term "stacked" I mean: "running both at the same time" -- is that the correct usage?

 

I'm just curious about these people saying that they are running various Fuzzes "into" a TS9 -- wouldn't the TS9 sort of mitigate the fuzz -- since it's later in the signal chain? Currently I use a Jekyl & Hyde with an MXR Micro Amp to boost for solos. This works well, but if I want to go from OD (the Jekly side) to a boosted, more saturated sound, I have to do more tap dancing than I care to (engage Hyde side, step on MXR and usually my Boss delay, too). I'm looking for a fuzz that I can put in a loop with my delay so that I hit one button to ad fuzz and delay to the TS9.

 

Thanks

Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Classic fuzz. It's a red pedal the same size as an MXR Dist +. Very light fuzz effect and perfect for stacking or cascading.

 

 

Ah...so what is the difference between stacking and cascading? I'm guessing cascading is what I really meant (a sequence of pedals engaged). Right?
