Treble-boosting a Fuzz? Where in your chain?

Post by grokostimpy »

I own a Fix'd Deluxe now, and will probably buy a Musket soon. :)
Has anyone had any trouble with these fuzzs being in the middle of a chain? I keep mine first because I'm superstitious that fuzzs only like direct guitar input, and there's so many settings on the Fix'd that I'd rather just not worry about the pedal order.

But now I'm thinking about putting a treble booster in front and I'm curious if anyone has tried this, and how it sounds?

Thanks!

I keep both of my od pedals before my Twosome. I don't have a treble booster (yet...) but both fuzzes take boosts like a champ.

Different sounds -- put the booster first you'll get more gain in the fuzz.
I like treble boost last, just before the amp.
Try it both ways round and see which you like.

So these Fuzzs will sound OK with a buffered input... good to know :)

No idea ... they all react differently. I don't have any treble boosters with buffers either so YMMV
