Splatty over the top Fuzz suggestions

Post by Boxbie »

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a splatty spitty chaotic fuzz. A bonus would be not stripping off the bass.

I like tone benders but I want a bit more in mod cons (leds, power jack, more bandwidth).

I've had a fuzzfactory, but it's a bit thin sounding. No muffs please (got that covered).

The closest I've gotten has been ramming a fuzz face into an OD (black cat fuzz- but that had so many other problems I don't wanna go back there).

I like that sound where its fuzzy but when you hit hard it hits a wall of harder distortion...

Whats cool and fun? Feel free to embed any YT demos!

I may not know the difference between "splatty" and glitchy/gated. :lol:

Blackout Effectors Fixd Fuzz
Retroelectromechanical Custom Fuzz
The Dwarfcraft Hair of the Dog has a clean blend which would help retain bass and a bias control which gives you that splat

A Fender Blender can be extremely splatty and thick without excessive bass loss, though it may not be spitty enough. The Ampeg Scrambler can serve in a similar capacity when cascaded into other fuzzes, e.g., Muffs. A Foldback distortion generator like the Noisereap Asstone or earlier Source Audio dirt pedals may also be worth a try.

Frazz can get pretty splatty/dying sounding. Has a pretty nice EQ range and has the added bonus of being able to do more straightforward fuzz really well.

EDIT also figure I should add that I bought mine to get Fuzz Factory type tones without all the headache of dialing that fucker in. The Frazz isn't as crazy as the FF, but it's certainly a lot more useful, or at least it is to me...

When I think of a "splatty" fuzz – one that's not hard or jagged but gooey – my first thought is of the Basic Audio Fuzz Mutant. It'll transform you into a giant tree frog with preternatural musical ability. It'll make your strings feel sticky – in the best way possible.
