Members mrweems Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 How many are there? I know there are light, heavy, staticy, smooth.. My Fuzz Factory is way to spatery.. For instance, in practice today. i have completely put aside my Marshall even though i don't have a OD with my fender. But i used my FF as an OD b/c it was driving me nuts with not having an OD.. Well my drummer makes a comment.. Why does it fart out like that at the end when you play it.. Well i don't know what to tell him. And he tells me that the pedal sucks b/c of this.. I'm going to need somthing much much smoother for my board.. Unless you think it will stack well with an OD pedal?!? I don't want to get rid of it b/c of recording stuff.. Whats you guys opinions on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members anti-flag193 Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Monsterpiece Two Headed Monster. Can go from OD-ish sounds to thick fuzz sounds and cleans up very well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to be smooth. And sustainy. And not at the end of playing a riff it starts spastically making gross noise that sounds like an digital piece of {censored}..

Not spastic and gross.. It pisses me off so bad.. B/c i'd like to use it live but i just don't want that kind of tone its so gross. But recording it gets some really cool sounds..

Yes that is exactly the fuzz tone that you are hearing in your head. Ever listen to Ten Years After? Cream? Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members loofery Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Originally posted by mrweems tell me about it!?!? it's really {censored}ing cheap, its got good reviews, and would be a first choice for messing with fuzz. WAAAIT UP Have you ever played a Big Muff? I think you may want a Big Muff and not a Fuzz Face. That's smashing pumpkins. The BM is also really fat. The triangle and soviets I would call creamy, never played a NYC, heard they aren't the same. Get an LBM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to be smooth. And sustainy. And not at the end of playing a riff it starts spastically making gross noise that sounds like an digital piece of {censored}.. i've never had a chance to try the FF, but i'm told that the UF i'm running is the poor man's version -- and the UF can be tweaked to eliminate the freak-fuzz tones/etc and be used as a more traditional fuzz or even as a slightly dirty drive pedal. i'd think the FF could too, but, then again, that kinda goes against the general vex ethic i think.... anyways, it comes down to right tool for the job. things of a muff flavor, maybe. i've seen more than one SG-rat-twin reverb combo sound super-great. the everman fuzzdrive does exceptional for an OD with fuzz mixed in (od & fuzz levels are seperately controllable) and a big boost as well.

I love that fuzz tone but am not sure what he's using. Too Many Humans is great guitar work in general too. I suggest you download it. And I don't even know your music preferences, what are they?

Members L6Sguy Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 that dod does a great muff impersonation at some settings, but actually is far more flexible than a muff. great stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a very open mind when it comes to music, as long as its good. For instance i just picked up in the past 2 weeks. Incubus : ScienceMastodon: Blood MountainMars Volta : Scab DatesBrand New: devil somthing somthing.. But my main influences are : Smashing pumpkins, deftones, third eye blind, and then just some other random things.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try a Greenie BM or look into fuzz faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members therhodeo Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Check out these sound samples. The neo is MI's FF type pedal. The GI is there Big Muff. http://www.miaudio.com/NF3.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any differenc between the LBM and the Big Muff NYC? double muff has nothing to do with the big muff, and i'm pretty sure the pocket muff is an overdrive, not a monster-fuzz like the big muff. the LBM reportedly sounds like a combo of two diff old muff versions (green & nyc), the nyc will sound a little different but not like a whole new pedal. loofery, i'll report back post-d'load.
