Members mattc41 Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm planning on getting a new fuzz. I am debating between the Keeley Fuzz Head and the LovePedal Dragon. They both seem to be very versatile and get great reviews. I was wondering if by chance anyone here had tried both, and had any input to share. Or if you have chosen one, why did you? thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arjae Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 I have never played a Fuzz Head personally. Always wanted to though. From what I have heard from others and from sound clips, the Fuzz Head is more of an OD than a fuzz. Still a great sounding pedal nonetheless. The Dragon I can comment on from personal experience. Do a search on the Dragon as I have at least one thread on it and there have been a few others as well. All have a lot of reviews and thoughts of it on there. I can not tell you to pick one over the other since I haven't played the FH but I can tell you that the Dragon is very versatile. It will give you a righteous fuzz as well as many shades and flavors of OD and boost. There is plenty of gain on tap at all settings of the blend knob.

Members mattc41 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 yea, the dragon seems really tempting. I like the versatility that both seem to offer. I read your thread and it sounds like an awesome pedal. How does it do with humbuckers versus single-coil? thanks for the reply, you are one of main reasons I've been considering the Dragon in first place!

Members DJLantz444 Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 You should also check out the Sun Face, if you haven't ruled out. It's also compact, and it's a nice fuzz face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Knowdice Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 I had a Fuzz Head a while back. At the time I was between bands and it was too loud for home use. Lots of volume and not a lot of fuzz. Reminded me of the rhythm guitar in Manic Depression. I'm in a band now and I'm seriously considering getting another one. Happy hunting!

Members mattc41 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 thanks, that's actually great to know. i have heard it's more OD than fuzz from a few people now. thanks for the comment. and DJ, im still somewhat considering the Sun Face, but the 2 i mentioned i know the least about and am the most curious about. neither seem to be your typical fuzz, which intrigues me. thanks.

Alright, cool. Although I have no experience with the dragon, Lovepedal drives are of the highest quality I have experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members utterhack Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 imho what distinguishes the lovepedal stuff is less how it sounds (though it sounds great) than how it plays. Less an effect than an instrument. I used to look for the next thing to add to my board; since getting my first lovepedal I look more for what I can remove.

Members Arjae Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Here's some crappy clips I threw together a weekend or two ago of the Dragon. Blend cranked, Driver backed off a bit then turned up full about halfway through: http://www.rickbellitti.com/whitedragon.mp3 Blend all the way to the left, Driver cranked: http://www.rickbellitti.com/blendtotheleft.mp3 Blend at 12 o'clock, Driver cranked: http://www.rickbellitti.com/blendatnoon.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mattc41 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 well, while simple, it gave me a great idea of the pedal's range. thanks! that blend control is sweet. its going to be a tough call.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
