Members Simple Exploding Man Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm looking for a fuzz pedal to use for my rhythm sound. It has to be thick, bassy, creamy and heavy. Not trebley and not too out of control. HELP! I've just bought a Kimbara FY-2 Fuzz pedal. But I think I'll mainly use that for lead parts and short rhythm parts...

Members turtleheadblues Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 McFuzz hot is great for rhythm and lead sounds. Also see the Diamond pedals Fireburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orourke Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 I like my MJM Foxey Fuzz for chords as well as leads. It's a high-class but reasonably priced Big Muff clone. I can get huge waves of creamy fuzzed out chords and singing violin-like sustain with the box. The tone knob on the Foxey Fuzz has a very large sweep so you can go from thumbing bass to that needle-y sixties fuzz. If you are looking for Smashing Pumpkins fuzz chords this will get you there. I've had the Foxey for about a year and a half and I like it more and more.

I know that's a bass fuzz, is it any good with guitar? I had a Frantone Peachfuzz for a little while, I sold it because it was too similar to my Foxey Fuzz. Maybe a little more compressed sounding but very close. That might do the trick also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StompboxMan Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 So many Fuzz pedals. So little time. Plain or radical? Cheap or expensive. A used Fuzz Factory. www.zvex.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Simple Exploding Man Posted December 4, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm looking for something that isn't very expensive. I'll probably look on ebay...plain will do. It just has to provide thick, creamy fuzz...no gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sub rosa Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 I recommend checking out the EHX Double Muff...very cheap, sounds awesome and of course being EHX...looks dang cool. Do it...dooo it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a re-issue Muff and whilst they do have 'that' sound, I didn't find it worked well with rhythm playing on the lower register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Gainster Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 Karl fuzz.... Not a muff. ICBM Is a muff...a very very good muff. Won't sound like your bass player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EvilSoup Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 Don't get a fuzz factory, that would be trebely and out of control and not that bassy. I've had one, rhythm isn't what it's really good for. I would say any of the skreddy pedals would suit your need (the new mayo would do it). I have a M.I. Audio Neo and it gets pretty good rhythm sounds, and you can tweak it a bunch. www.miaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members us2bslim Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 Either the Foxey Fuzz or the Peach Fuzz are where its at. Those are both great pedals meeting your description. You could also try the Jacques Mercer Box. It is super flexible and has lots of gain and bass on tap. I don't know why more folks don't love this pedal. It sounds great with my stuff. Another pedal that does that kind of thing really well is the Budda PhatMan (purple or red). It is very high gain and bassy....mine was anyway.
