Searching for a Guttural and Snarling Fuzz

[eyobeez]

Like a tee'd-off tiger!

I'll be candid here and say I want to get in on David Torn's fuzz sound. That low-mid-frequency grind on double-stops and chords, the juicy harmonic girth on single notes, the purring decay--sustainy feedback is okay, too!--(i.e. all that new, fun harmonic content one gets to interact with when one steps on a fuzz)

I already have a BA Kay (killer), and I ordered a neon green Dream Reaper today (I've wanted one since they came out ). Also owned a Fuzz Factory years ago (wanted to be able to control oscillation with my feet, hence the Dream Reaper order). I'm sort of a fuzz noob.

I'm looking at a BA Pirk or Fuzz Mutant. I've also heard Torn using the Analogman Sunbender Mk. IV--sounded sick.

Would love to learn about other recommendations and see what the experts have to say!!

Thank you for reading!

You might consider a Harmonic Percolator variant.

I don’t even think this is what I need but I totally want a fuzz called the FUZZ MUTANT

Get that Os Mutantes on

man, my percolator experience was more thin & compressed than guttural & snarling. maybe cuz i was using it on bass

[friendship]

Is the kind of sound you mean? I love this shit.

Sounds killer! Maybe a little too squishy in the lows, but i dig it!!

Good to hear from you, dude! I'm still loving my Vitruvian Mod

Yeah, in listening to HP demos, it would make sense that a bass guitar's frequencies would get thinned out with an HP-type pedal. I think you're right.

The Porkolator and the Pirk def have my attention. Would love to destroy the front end of my Marshalls with an HP!

Tornita by Paul Trombetta Design?

When I think or Gutteral that's a tuff one because I see that as a rare thing and very rig dependent.. Big box RATs, Fuzz Hugger Great wall, LAL Green monster...

Link?

I read that as "a race thing," and I was like, yeah: good point. "Guttural" could very well be an ethnolinguistically relative term lol. I guess I mean to say a fuzz that sounds like it's coming from just behind the epiglottis of a deranged snow leopard.

Thank you for the recommendations. I will be on the lookout for a Tornita, and that Septic Fuzz sounds siiiIiick.

I'll think of some tonal examples I could post here.

[oldangelmidnight]

Some kind of resonant filtered parked wah kind of thing?

[eyobeez]

V good idea. I have also looked into the Dwarfcraft Arf, and still want one!

[eatyourguitar]

i had to really think for a while what fits the description. in the end I came back to something unexpected. a red dot NKT 275 sun face with bias control. maybe with a boost in front.

but also there is maybe a metasonix that would be good for this. the F-1.

lastly, this is the death by audio

I almost thought about some other devi ever pedals but I can't think of anything specific. not an expert on devi ever pedals. there are some full tone pedals I would consider maybe. mostly the fuzz faces.

Thanks! The F-1 looks super cool!!
