Fuzz for Tele/Strat

Post by The Mad Owl »

Hello everyone!

Question:

I primarily play guitars outfitted with p90's.

I recently bought a Reverend Eastsider with a strat pickup configuration. I love it to death, but I have run into a problem:

I'm looking for a fuzz that will work well with it.

I'm a huge fan of my Devi Ever Hyperion, EWS Fuzzy Drive, Rats, and Bi Fuzz.

I'm looking for something that can get me more bass-boosted low end fuzz with enough gain to facilitate shredding. I play in a Bowie tribute band, and I'm looking for a mix of Fripp and Gabrels when I'm thinking about this tone.

Thanks!~

There's the ARC Buzzaround clone, could work for you. I think fuzz faces and strats are a match made in heaven, but prob not what you're going for...

Also I wanna check out that Shoe pedal now :cool:

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I'm totally digging the Crimson King and Shor pedals!

Any idea what kind of muff variant I should be looking into?

I always found Ram's Head variants to be the best all-round Muffs, but there's many types I haven't tried. If you go down that rabbit hole you'll have to try them in person. Maybe something with less-scooped mids than your typical muff? For cheap, the EHX Tone Wicker I guess. OR... a B&M champ/fuzz unit? Kind of muffish, not as heavy sounding perhaps, but a little more versatile.

I've always like the Musket bestwhen it came to Muffs, it has a fantastic sound with really well dialed tonal options, can go from mild to apocalypse. :thumb:

I don't really hear *fuzz* per se when I think of Gabriels in the Bowie era.

It's more amp gain or straight-ahead rock distortion.

some sort of Buzzaround is a good suggestion.
also, maybe a ZVEX Mastotron or Box of Metal would work.
