Members varialbender Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 I've only got a Vexter Fuzz Factory now, but I think I'm close to joining the fuzz club. I got me some Fuzz God gas. A few others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAtomicJeff Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 I can't dial in a fuzz tone that sounds good to my ears to save my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJLantz444 Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm only going to get a fuzz if a nice trade pops up.. otherwise I'm not going out of my way to get one. It doesn't really suit me, although I suppose bluesmen do use fuzz sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shaun79 Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 i bought a usa big muff without trying it and its decent but not great. it can make sounds that are just amazing but i could never see it being my mine gain sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not gunna be my main gain sound either. I'm running an OCD into my 2203 so I got the straight gain covered. I just wanted the muff for some thick sludge type riffs.

Members Glenn Baren Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Fuzzes react ALOT to the input.(generally they go first in the chain...except for a wah or vibe,YMMV).One guitar will sound great ,another like crap.I like the McFuzz ,lightly,for awesome coloration.Retroman's Sybil is PF cool...and I have high hopes for Sean's (Lovepedal) Dragon He has just a slightly different take on stuff and it's always highly playable (not that other builder aren't ... my ear's just dig his pedals !

Members theRussianMafia Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 So while we are on the topic of fuzz, what does Billy Corgan use? Is it a Fender Blender or a variety...it sounds so massive with both the pumpkins and zwan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gr8fuldodd Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 after reentering the fuzz world, I've quickly realized that fuzz in an addiction inside the larger addiction of pedalsI know that I need at least two more fuzzes before I'm donejust got a super fuzz clonenow I'd like a fuzz face clonethen on to big muff land but the big problem for me is that I don't get to crank up my amp too oftenand I think I've pretty much figured out that this is a bit missing ingredient in my fuzz recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kevorkazito Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 You know, when I was staring on guitar back in 1978 it seemed like the fuzz pedals were on the way out. I tried several of them back then and they just sounded like my crappy amp. I'm intruiged by all the hype around fuzz boxes. To be honest, fuzz makes me wanna puke because it reminds of the crappy Garnet Mustang that I used to have. Fuzz to me sounds like a crappy amp. We were all into the clean distortion of the DS-1 and MXR. Before you flame on, now I'm kinda into that sound. I can't recall the name of that round Dunlop that Hendrix used... but I'd like to get one. Even that fuzz fox pedal in the purple velvet looks cool. I'd also like to revisit the Big Muff by EH. Skilled playing with fuzz is something that I like to hear now. Like some old Robin Trower. I miss my crappy sounding amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stratmaster48 Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 do yall think that fuzz only sounds good in a band setting and not by yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steven Edmunds Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Check out the Retroman Sybil fuzz. It has both a germanium and a silicone side that can be used one at a time or both together in series or in parallel. It sounds great and covers a lot of fuzz ground.

Members fusionid Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Lovely thread and very fitting for this forum cuz we are ghay over fuzz boxes here. I own the ultimate octave fuzz. It sounds goddy with my ibanez with dimarzios but sounds like puke on my deluxe am strat. I mean nasty {censored}.So there you go, if you decide to try a fuzz, make sure you try it with several guitars, amps and different placement (no buffer pre) I am planning to get the Mayo, and a zoom ultrafuzz. Yes I guess fuzzes fell out of fashion. Boss doesnt sell any fuzz for the american market. What with that uh? but its ok cuz I think fuzzes really belong to the booteek market.

Members book_of_lies777 Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 I really liked the USA Big Muff. I wanna try the Danelectro French Toast. Both fuzzes(plus an octave with the Dano) - but completely different sounding, at least to my ears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Originally posted by theRussianMafia ....and the fuzz from MBV? Both Kevin and Belinda's Loveless tour rig is available over at guitargeek.com. Interestingly there's no fuzz at all - Kevin was supposedly using a Marshall Shredmaster, Belinda a Boss HM-2. That being said I'd heard the Fender Blender featured prominently in the recording of Loveless but have nothing to back that up. There may be some info on the net about what was used. I think the Frantone Cream Puff cops a Loveless-like tone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
