BEST FUZZ FOR SHOEGAZE?????

Post by theavondon »

No but really though, I'm gazing on guitar, and I find that I really like my FZ-2 (so, superfuzz) more than anything else. Though, in key moments, the ILFFUZZ is also great. BUT I REALLY WANT TO TRY A TONEBENDER. IS THAT A BAD IDEA? WHICH ONE??? MY MOJO LUST

ALSO, your favorite fuzz for teh gze?

dood, isn't the scarab basically a tonebender? i find that scarab is good at this sort of thing, i tend to play shoegazey sorta stuff with lots of droning strings. i've been letting the guitarist in my gazey band use it to great effect with his strat, too.

you should try a rat, too.

I don't really know how to play the gaze, but check out the last few seconds of this video I did

A Bender would probably be pretty rad for what you're looking for. It seems to work well with chords. I don't really know what's good though. The Tone Reaper seems like a solid choice
