I have an old Ibanez PQ-9 Parametric EQ that I use for this sort of thing. Works like a charm! Fuzzhugger Magic Meter is a GREAT one for eq'ing too.

Re: Making the buzzz cut through better
Because people will inevitably come here looking for more advice.
LOW GAIN mode into more Gain from amp/different pedal sounds GOOD.
I play a Dual Rectifier. Crazy on ILF but it fits what I do. When I want to get really sludge-filled I can kick on the buzz and get way weird. I
ll try to post settings next time I'm at my practice space.
VOLUME is def at 10. Silicon Diodes. Low Gain switch.

although volume needs to be way up man. 2 o clock. yes.
bias just around 10 o clockish gives a really nice sag. there's a special setting right around 10-11. find it and you got yourself a big muffy sound.
Yeah -- I realize Buzzz isn't Muff based but being able to cop tat style of tone out of it was precisely what I needed.
Plus -- DAT OCTAVE

Re: Making the buzzz cut through better
Anybody have a buffered pedal in front of their buzzz?
In the past it wasn't super interested in my Way Huge Green Rhino being in front. Got a great deal in The Elements (sorry Satan) - had to pick it up. Just wondering what others experiences have been.

Mine is usually first, but I thought I was alone in noticing its buffer unfriendliness!

Re: Making the buzzz cut through better
elsewhere i had seen somebody say that it was fine for them.
maybe it's just the particular buffer?
i'm totally cool going buzzz --> elements as I doubt they'll often be on at the same time. just a curiosity.

Re: Making the buzzz cut through better
It's mainly because I use the buzz with the guitar volume pot to clean up and that seems to work better without a buffer. Might be in my head though

run it this way anyway to clean blend in the buzzz with your elements signalodontophobia wrote:elsewhere i had seen somebody say that it was fine for them.
