Two fuzz mayhem
If you were to use two classic fuzz pedals on one pedalboard - either seperately or together (in series? Parallel/blended?...) - what would they be?
I've only ever used a second one to boost the signal for loud bits. Are there any that interact in a speshly cool way?
I'm thinking of making a two-in-one, is why I'm asking...

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
i recently did a fuzz face into a tone bender mkIII (Mind Rocker into Harbinger) which sounded nice!

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
I love the sound of two fuzzes in parallel! If we're only talking classic circuits, I'd want one to be a Foxx Tone Machine... the other... hmmm... maybe a Tone Bender (for contrast)... I really loved the EQD Tone Reaper - can't remember which version of the TB it's based on, though.
Or maybe a Tone Machine / Green Russian muff (if it was modded to eliminate the scoop or add a mids bump). I bet you could get some suuuuuuuuuper thick sounds out of that combo.
Oh, and while we're making wishes, I'd want the octave on the Tone Machine to be foot-switchable. That would be awesome.

I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
A Tonebender into a Brassmaster = huge crushing doom fuzz. I'm liking it better than the Meathead Dark or my Megalith right now. You can dial them back for all sorts of awesome rawk sounds too, but I mostly use the combo for DOOM.
Fuzz Face (on the higher end of gain, but not maxed) into a big muff (with no mid scoop and low fuzz) is pretty sweet for punk riffing and blues-punk. Lots of variation in sound with volume roll off on the guitar. Both on or one at a time.
A three stomp Fuzz Face OR Tonebender of any sort into a fOXX Tone Machine with the 3rd stomp for the octave effect would be pretty awesome!

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
for parallel stuff, something octave-y and something else
for series, i like something with dynamics into something without dynamics

No matter what, I'd love to hear clips when it's done!

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
I use an Ampeg Scrambler clone into a Fender Blender RI regularly.
it goes from zero to mean in one note, my 'boost' switch is a crackling, Bee-Baa esque channel on my old Boss rackmount analog distortion preamp.

Not two fuzz mayhem but nothing sounds better to me than a treble booster after a superfuzz type circuit!

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
I dig the Tonebender >> Muff action of the EQD Hoof Reaper. I also like any kinda loud-ass drive or focused fuzz (like a Fuzz Face) into a more splattery octave fuzz (like a Fuzzrite.) I looooooooove blasting and battering the octave with high gain mayhem from whatever's in front of it for the apocalyptic death tonezzzzzzzzzzzz.

I use a great destroyer into a supercollider with the gain fairly low a lot for slow parts. Nice thick chords with a little bit of octave glitch.

Sunn Buzz and Fuzz Face.
The FY-2 w/ Mids knob > Green Ringer is pretty amazing too. I find the FY-2 to be a great stacker.

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
Distortion+ > a Tone Bender or a Buzzaround. either end does its own wonderful thing by itself, and when you put them together it's a pile-driving roar of dense, buzzing goodness that'll do vintage or modern with equal aplomb. and feedback? have i got feedback for you!
for non-traditional, i really like D+ > Velcroar for the Live Rust kind of sound, and anything > Algal Bloom.

Re: Two fuzz mayhem
Fuzzface into meathead/fuzzface is cool. As for a wider range, I'd go with the octave-y/not octave-y suggestion. Maybe the non octave could be something fat.
