What is a new texture of fuzz I can add to my collection?

[Davin]

Obviously the correct answer is you need ALL the fuzz. Also, check out Harmonic Percolator variants. There's a whole thread about them on here.

An HP really changed my world (got an EA from Dirge) I was going to chime in with RAT but I see that already.

HP makes everything sound better,

Some fuzzhugger style stuff like the arc flash or Velcrobot may make you very happy as well.

So as I’ve acquired fuzzes over the years, I always try to get one that covers different textural ground, and try to avoid overlap of the tones they can make.

My current fuzzes are:

DBA fuzz war
SolidGoldFX If 6 was 9
JHS muffuletta
EHX op amp muff RI
EQD fuzzmaster general
WMD geiger counter
Jext Telez DizzyTone
Amptweaker tight fuzz (seems to overlap with If 6 was 9)
Termofuzz

What can I get next that is different than these? Really interested in the Fuzz Factory 7 and the FZ-2.

Also, as an afterthought, does anyone happen to know what circuit the Recovery Effects Sound Destruction Device is based on?

If you want to get into filthy Shin-Ei territory, Fredric Electronics' Super Unpleasant Companion is the way to as it's a Companion and Super Fuzz in one with more gain and an internal trim pot to adjust octave level. I've had a few clones over the years and this is how I'd rank them.

FY-6 clones:
Frederic Electronics Super Unpleasant Companion
Black Cat Super Fuzz v.2
CBC Pedals The Super Fuzz

Zener diode or IC-based:
Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz
Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz
Deadfx I Can't Feel My Face Super Fuzz v.1 (modded with 1n34 diodes)
Deadfx I Can't Feel My Face Super Fuzz v.1

I would also recommend the Foxx Tone Machine or any of its clones with MXR's Sub Machine probably being the best one out now. Turning on both sides of the Germanium 4 Big Muff or Deucetone Rat may get you some great, unique fuzz tones as well.

Very informative! Interested in that FE Unpleasant companion!

Tone machine is a good suggestion. The Greer Super Hornet is also a good clone out now and the octave switch can be set up for momentary.

I would agree after years of searching the Perc is my favorite so far. Each circuit is awesome though and worth a try.

[goroth]

Get a Copilot Caracol. It will add texture and stuff to anything. Stack it into fuzz, or fuzz into it.

I was just listening to demos of the one Orange has out now (Fur Coat). Sounds good!

Add five in one with the DBA Apocalypse.

One of the few fuzzes I sold and want back currently. Last two modes got into devi ever fuckery territory and the the first three modes were just rock solid. Also big EQ/filter knob felt so good to turn.

[Seance]

I love odd fuzz textures.


Montreal Assembly You're and Your is cool, and fairly cheap.


Basic Audio Fuzz Mutant

I have these two fuzzes and they are both fun and expressive and full of textures.
I use them both in this meandering clip:

It's so stupid, they go for less 2nd hand than a fuzz war... when they can 100% do fuzz war sounds as well as a bunch of other sounds. The tone knob is so powerful, it's like a whole library of fuzz sounds, and they all work on bass as well.

[BetterOffShred]

I'll always recommend the

Shoe Pixel

It has a bunch of unique sounds in it.

One of these days I'll commit and try one of their pedals. That one ended up going for $168 I think.
