Yeah, just missed a Gnarly for $110 on TGP. Damn. Thinking about a Creepy Fingers Harakiri or Fuzznugget, anyone have experience with these? I know there are cheaper options, I just find CF stuff alluring for whatever reason.

+1

I've a Maestro FZ-1A clone by Vectra, a SkinPimp Buzz Around and I'm the process of getting a Fuzzrite clone from a good builder here in Italy.

The Maestro clone is the best for nailing that mid-'60s gnarling and snappy fuzz tone. The Fuzzrite is a "Stooges-in-a-box" fuzz pedal. The Buzz Around is similar to a 3-knob ToneBender but with its own aggressive and acid character (famously used by Robert Fripp in the early '70s).

Yah, the Creepy pedals are great - quality all over. The fuzz nugget is a clone of the FZ1-a, with the added 3 position tone switch. So you can get the uber trashy spit and snarl, but also a deeper and bassier version as well as a more focussed mid-heavy version of the sound. I owned a Vectra clone FZ1-A but sold it as the Creepy owned it. The Vectra still sounded good, but side by side it was a different animal to the nugget - it didnt seem to have the same spittyness to it. Theres a reason the Creepies dont come up for resale that often - they are too good to sell!

Good thread... definitely one of the neglected/less-discussed areas of fuzzdom.

I know this isn't on the "Buy/Sell/Trade" page, but I do have an Ashbass FUZZBRITE (copy of the FuzzRite) for sale at the moment. Good condition/velcro on back. Asking $80.
Hit me back if interested.

I have FZ-1A that Brad repaired for me, and added the Fuzz Nugget alternate output cap switch. Sounds wicked.

He also does a killer Ge Fuzzrite clone called the Fuzz Fight.

No kidding on the Creepy Fingers staying put and going fast when they're on the block. I missed a used Creepy Fingers Kay Fuzz by a couple hours. Looked like a really sick 60's fuzz in a wah enclosure...

:mad:

Really hating my delinquent ebay buyer ATM. Merkin, Bosstone, Ashbass, got an idea for a Fuzzrite in a wah I bet Aaron/StupidDream88 could build me... Bah! :mad:

Brad's pedals are awesome. <3 my creepy kay. It's super fuzz related.

Yeah, and I've been a fan of Fu Manchu since the 7"s on Slap A Ham, even before he was in the band, and I'd like to add one of his pedals to my keeper collection at some point...

Nah! Fuzzrite, Maestro, Bosstone, MkI Tone Bender
Buzzaround's really muffy too. How about a Dizzy Tone?

I like the way the thread's going with the lists... But this thread is really making me wish I'd have hunted more fuzz pedals up in the 80's-90's. :cry:

Where do the Kay fuzz and Brassmaster fit on this list of rawness? I love that silicon B:Assmaster sound. :love:

Its a deal :thumb:

Add ShinEi fuzz wah, from my expirience, it sounds different from superfuzz, and I love to add few occasional cocked fuzz sounds with Jazz/Jag pup volume on 8 + a clean/ish tube amp :omg:
