What are some of the fuzzes you consider the most badass

[dubkitty]

nobody has mentioned the Shin-Ei Companion circuit yet? and then there's whatever it is that Jorma uses on the Airplane's Volunteers album...an Ampeg Scrambler, apparently?

[Jero]

yeah jerms stuff is badass. someone had a jerms companion up on reverb for 250 and i hesitated and it was gone quick. that seems like a great price.

$250 for a basic 2 stage fuzz...I'm clearly doing something wrong

Dear Jero: I am sorry to inform you that you have failed 1) Why Greed is Good, and 2) The Joys of Predatory Behavior in the Marketplace. Please consider yourself on academic probation until you have completed the workshop How to Rid Yourself of that Pesky Conscience.

I'll figure it out some day...or perhaps, not.

Ps. a friend had a Jerms Muff years ago and it was pretty legit

im keeping my eye out for a good price on a used canyon climber
dont think i can use it on chords tho, only the riffz and leads

i was checking out the pink elephant on youtube the other day
dont think it's really my thing but it sounds good
im pretty big on anything creepy fingers tbh

Don't think anybody mentioned the Dwarfcraft Shiva / She Fuzz yet? That thing rips. Realized the other day that I've had it for five years. Such a neat little box of joy.

And yeah, the 88, everything Fuzzhugger has made, Wolf Computers, MASF Epilepsy, Noise Swashes, and still have a soft spot for Fuzz Factories.

The Lamp Shit Box has caught my attention recently. Seems badass?

I had a Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun that sounded really badass, I coudn't get it to work well though cause I was stupid I guess. Regret it but also honestly haven't used crazy fuzz like that after anyways

I thought DC was going to make more of the She Fuzz. I either missed it or they haven't gotten there yet

whats the deal with the shin-ei fy-6 superfuzz vs the univox, pretty much the same circuit just from a different year? anyone had both?

They are the same (but no I have not had both)

There’s a crazy variety of closely related circuits in the Superfuzz family. Six or eight transistor, bjt or fet input, some ordering of stages, and whether components are matched for stronger octave or unmatched for more anarchic fuzz. Oh, and tone switch or control knob. If JHS has done a multi-SF like their multi-Muff of multi-TS, I might have held my nose and bought one to explore all the variations.

Seems like something we as a fuzz forum could make happen

on a related sentiment, i really dig the way the ssbs buzzz sounds, and i love having a zillion switches and knobs to tweak. i should probably just start there. i also find the ibanez standard fuzz pretty intriguing

man, brad at creepy fingers might be my favorite builder. had a sugar boost for a long time. all his stuff sounds so good and it's not super pricy on the second hand market.
his super fuzz is awesome but i think i'm more into the regulus 8 right now. im sure most of you guys know about it already but it sounds very similar a companion fuzz to me...which is a good thing imo

[gila_crisis]

All by MASF, especially the Epilepsy.
I also enjoy a lot Earthbound Audio take on the Big Muff, with its Supercollider.

Onorable mentions: Earthbound Throat Locust.

I like this thread because I have played like only 10 or 12 fuzzes in my life and now I'm even more confused on what to try next.

I've been using a Jimmy Behan buzzaround for the past number of years. Bought a new buzzaround from Arcane Analog recently that rips. Here's some quick demos for reference:
