Overdosed on fuzz

[washer]

Well, you can't have too many fuzzes, right? I know four isn't extreme at all, but, I like the idea about keeping it minimal and not too much overlap. What I've got:

Fix'd dlx, Algal Bloom, Pharaoh, Blunderbuss
and for boost/od: Timmy and Brown Rabbit.

I will probably keep 3 or 4 of these and still have a wide range of sounds. Playing a Jazzmaster with standards avri pups + various amps. What do you think?

[goroth]

Pharaoh and Blunderbuss are easy to pare down to one, as they are both Muffish. Which one is a tougher question, but they should be one. The Fix'd gives you a couple of fuzzes for the price of one, so that'd give you a lot of variety. As for ODs, the Timmy covers different territory than the Brown Rabbit, which is a RAT. When it's working hard it's also kinda saturated, like the muff, whereas the Timmy is stuck more in OD territory. That's my 2c.

>list five

Just keep them all?

[washer]

One of the muff-types will probably have to go ...it's probably best to keep playing and see what's not getting used so much. I like them all, though.

If you decide to sell the blunderbuss give me a shout. I've been meaning to try one of those.

It's the only one on your list I haven't owned. If I had to pair down to 3 based on your list. I'd say... Either Timmy or Brown Rabbit (whichever you prefer more for low-mid gain), then Fix'd for the flexibility then pharaoh because it stacks well and blows shit up with the lowls.

Yeah, just keep some off your board, maybe come back to them after some time has passed to change things up a bit.

[washer]

Yeah, there are endless ways of combining them. But in short, I need a od for the clean sound, one fuzz for nasty lower gain fuzz and one for the screaming high gain.

Out of those I would do blunderbuss > fixed > timmy. I've played all you have listed and that would be my pick though I think a fuck overdrive would be better than the timmy at the end.

[modernage]

I'm pretty sure the world wouldn't end if you were to keep them all.

MOAR FUZZ!

[DarkAxel]

Fix'd and Blunderbuss for the Blackout power nice selection

Looks like the Fuck OD can do a lot of good sounds. But does it also have the same transparency on low gain and eq possibilities as Timmy?

Edit: ...well if it did, they probably wouldn't call it Fuck Overdrive, or?

No such thing as overdosing on fuzz! Keep em coming and use them for different projects and different sound.

It has excellent low gain sounds, EQ is only controlled by a hi-cut control. However it is a very full sound with equal hi's and lows from my experience. The beauty of the fuck overdrive is the ability to go from a low gain ballsy clean tone to a super heavy fuzzy rhythm tone. And on top of that it has a momentary switch to make it sound broken.
