Rather than seek out a fuzz with a blend have you thought of adding a Boss LS-2? I do this for bass and then I have less concern about which pedals I seek out. Very handy.

The bass versions of the Rainger FX fuzzes have blends...

The Monoprice fuzz, but that might be OOP.

Can you run the fuzz on the Bitquest without anything else? If so, I didn't know that and I've had one since they first came out.


What flavor of fuzz do you want? Other than having a clean blend. Which those are for sissies anyway. Pffft. :)

filter or notch mode are like two different fuzz modes, imo :)
This is true! Though I've seen many people not be smart enough to use the filter on the Bitquest. :lol: :lol: :lol: I fucking love that thing though!


I like wide open fuzzes for sure.

My all time favorite fuzzes are the Prescription Electronics fuzz and the DMB Bumble Fuzz (both have blends and have amazing tone).

I'm not much help because I don't like clean blends. But if you search around on Talkbass you should find a few hundred options. Pretty sure nobody is allowed to talk about dirt pedals without clean blend over there. But the mini thing is more challenging. There are waaay more options if you can bump up your size requirements.

How about a super small blend pedal?

If you're looking to save board space, I've actually got a custom OCD type circuit with a clean blend. Granted it's not a fuzz, but it's got some different diode options that let it get pretty gnarly. Feel free to PM me if you're interested. I'm not really trying to get rid it, but I'm not currently using it and wouldn't mind getting it into a loving new home.

Holy shit!!!! This looks amazing. I love the LS-2 but quite frankly a giant boss pedal is kind of a paaaaaaaaaaaain. Like to run two friggin’ loops is so much awkward cabling. I would f with this so hard.

I don’t venture onto talk bass very often but.... maybe I should!!

Also the wren and cuff pickle pie is small with a clean blend.

How is an all top mount 125b too big?
Frazz fits the bill perfectly.

Dis. If you rethink your priorities, and maybe replace your tuner or whatever with a tiny version...you might end up with a lot more sweet options for your fuzz search :idk:
