Your favorite fuzz guitar

[bigchiefbc]

I'm gonna be the big contrarian here and say that I love buckers with fuzz more than singles. But that's because I like thick meaty tones more than bright jangly ones (for fuzz).

honestly, with the kind of fuzzes I see being used around here, the type of guitar makes almost no difference. Your putting your signal through something that has been so destroyed and shaped that so little of the original "information" is left... idk, that's just my opinion. I personally can't hear a guitar by the time it's through something like a Devi Ever or similar stuff...

Much to learn you have. A whole other world in actual using there is. Fuzzes tried how many have you? In less VCO it is instrument matters always. Some fuzzes guitar's pickups react with they do. Explore more you must.

There's a noticeable difference between my Jag and JM, and they're like inbred siblings.

Depends on the fuzz (and the amp), but I like
ES335 -> MkI Tone Bender / Sam Ash (or a Mike Matthews head muff or a Buzzaround for higher gain). This is my more refined kinda sound.
Silvertone 1448L -> Fuzzrite or an Orpheum (like my Andres Fuzzier). This is a great, lo-fi combination.

But there's a whole other world of stuff in there -- blender and superfuzz and standard and BeeBaa...P90s + Superfuzz is a great sound.

I don't really go for those crazy robot fuzzes so much, although I have a Devi TP on the way just for fun so we'll see.

idk, I still feel like, from a purely electronic (eletrical? audio singal-al?) standpoint, your making the signal almost fully a square wave, and when you do that, theres not much individuality to the source... Obviously there may be a bit of difference but like, run a strat clean and I can tell you its a strat. run a les paul, and i can tell you its a les paul. Through those fuzzes all I hear is way too much gain and (to my ears, what it sounds like is) a circuit that isn't working right. That's literally what goes through my head when I hear something with "velcro" decay or when notes cut out. Maybe I'm just noobish but I don't understand how you can hear the subtle nuances of a tone when the pedal cuts out your sound every 2 seconds...

See now, if we were talking about, like a FuzzFace or a Tonebender or a Red Llama or Swollen Pickle, then I would understand, but "modern" fuzzes are just... puzzling to me.

I agree through fuzzes, all guitars can sound alike texture-wise.

but i love the attack, weird overtone, string vibration, and a lot more, of my jazzmaster.

and I love how I can over-eq the clean sound of a jazzmaster but it still sound like a jazzmaster no matter what.

[bennybanana]

I find alot of the modern fuzzes tend to be super high gain, which can tend to bury the guitar tone a little. Thats why I'm loving the Fix'd Fuzz and Parallel Universe, with variable gain, so your guitar sound can still come through a bit more - the Jaguar loves the Fix'd.. My favourite sound right now is an old Tempo (early Univox) guitar through the CC/DC, just the right amount of garage trash. But for all out wall of fuzz its got to be the Vox Teardrop through the team Awesome Fuzz - massive

[Fatso Forgotso]

Seeing as the only fuzz I have right now is a Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz, it'll have to be my Strat.

However I preferred my Flying V with my old Op-Amp Muff.

One exception: my Algal Bloom sounds downright awesome with P90s.

JAZZMASTER!!!

[ohsojayadeva]

I agree with PP. each of my guitars sounds different with my fuzz pedals, but I tend to play off the idiosyncrasies.

[elbandito]

It's pretty much a fact that fuzz sounds best thru an offset guitar. Don't ask me why... ask the fuzz gods.

As for the comment about "the types of fuzz around here", I say
It's true that Devi's stuff is pretty damn crazy but it's all about useage, placement and of course, the pickups you're using. Try a VFM thru a Strat and then thru an SG and tell me that you don't hear a significant difference.
