I just need a few more. Same as ever. (And I don't flip.)

Re: How many fuzzes to be "legit"?
i have seven currently. five are on my board, largely for the convenience of having them in defined ranges of gain/fuzz. i could get away with two or three--my only dirt pedal for 30 years (that's not a typo) was an old Distortion+ i still play today--but it's simpler to have a Tone Bender and a Buzzaround than to adjust the Buzzaround to cop a Bender-ish sound.
to be legit you just have to find the right sound for yourself. it's what you do with it, not how much you've got (TWHS).

About 10 at the moment, covers enough ground for now.

i think I have seven on hand at the moment but I rarely use more than one at a time because I don't really like stacking.

If you count Elements and Fuck OD, then i have four
i don't use them as fuzzes though, so i have two... if you count Helio as a fuzz, i might have three
i've always been lame
but Byron was lame as well

I'm always buying or selling to try different things but I generally have 5 or 6 at a time. Got 4 on my board right now and some others lying around.

Re: How many fuzzes to be "legit"?
The correct answer is 42. When pondering questions about life, the universe, and well, everything, the answer is always 42.

Re: How many fuzzes to be "legit"?
Down to 6 distinct flavors...with half being different muffs; 2 of them based on variations of the ram's head circuit.
When the mini fuzz faces ship it will be 7
Each one does something different, 3-4 are in my guitar rig, 1 in bass rig. The Harmonic Percolator is the wildcard.
I typically dial in the sweet spot with my rig and then set/forget.
Then I expand their range with tremolo, delay, reverb and octave/pitch shifting.
Dirt boxes are the bookends to a good KILLER pedal chain...but recent findings suggest tremolololo before everything is how you stunt, freal.

Re: How many fuzzes to be "legit"?
you either need six of whatever or just one era correct ram's head muff. if you are considering a duplication or clone of the ram's head, you are seriously going to need atleast five other fuzz pedals.
i ended up ditching fuzz altogether and now just run eight ring modulators in serial.
seriously though, i use one fuzz (BoW), one drive, and one boost.
been yearning for a caroline guitar company cannonball though.

The amount does not matter, it's the size of your love for fuzz that matter.
