Fuzz suggestion ??

Post by Midnight Rider »

I have Pharaoh but it's not heavy fuzz & don't oscillate,so I need something like Fat Fuzz Factory or Devi Ever Truly Beautiful Disaster.
maybe something from DBA...??

DBA supersonic fuzz gun has a load of tones in it. along with an oscillate switch. you can go from smoooth bassy creamy fuzz to breaking up crackley gated velcro fizzle and anything in between. really versatile pedal. the fuzz war is also amazing, but doesn't other than just fuzz. the supersonic can give the fuzz war tones. add a kill kill filter and you're in it to win it.

truly beautiful disaster is amazing, its oscillating fuzz is just nuts, super aggressive so i put an od in front to tame it and get more usable tones. the feedback looper is where this pedal really shines for me, awesome feature set along with photo eye expression.

dwarfcraft eau claire thunder is a russian big muff clone with cool features that give a wider range of tones..like a stomp to bypass the tonestack getting rid of the muff midrange scoop. its HEAVY with great range. no oscillator, but has a momentary stomp for activating an internal feedback looper.....so all sorts of mayhem can ensue including oscillation noises.

i own all of these and would recommend any of them.

edit: the dwarfcraft shiva is another pretty cool pedal to look into. has octave up, and can get suboctave downs. its pretty thick and meaty and depending on how you set up the knobs you can get oscillations or those glitchy step arpeggios or starve decays. loads of nasty and loads of gain.

Yeah, if you're into muff tones and want heaviness and oscillation, I'd try Eau Claire Thunder as the first choice :thumb:

thanks for advice ;)
Supersonic fuzz gun looks like a very good fuzz, Shiva too but a long time is out of stock...
For Fuzz factory people say that is complicated for using live...probably because of the "incorrect settings" squeal and that can be annoy for some people.

If you want oscillation and muff style tonez, Eau Claire Thunder or the baby version (one in b/s/t right now I think) will certainly get you there.
Or you could just run another fuzz into the Pharaoh.

Devi's Disaster Fuzz sounds pretty awesome, but to get big low end you'd need to stack it with something like the Pharaoh.
Fuzz Hugger's AB-Synth seems to be a go-to oscillating fuzz for peeps around here but I haven't played one me'self.

FuzzHugger(fx) AB-Synth, that's all you need.
I have the 5k version, and it's the best I've tried.

fuzz factory is a great pedal with alot of usable tones. but yeah, you have to dial in the squeal with the stab knob and then adjust the other settings etc.

the fuzz factory probe has even more usable tones, and you control the stab knob via theremin type action with your foots proximity to the pedal...so you can get even crazier sounds by moving you foot real fast side to side or etc. and you'll have ultimate control over when the squeal is on or off.

That's just what I want...and of course I don't want to be limited with muff sound...I wanna all pleasure's from "fuzz world"

Fuzz Hugger's AB-Synth ... yeah man,that's good one :thumb: does it have high gain ??
...and there's 3 type of A-B synth:A-B Synth,Deluxe (with 1 more knob) & Suprime (with awesome pic and more knobs.
Does anyone can tell me more about it ??

Just find out that SHIVA is now SHE FUZZ :

what do you want to achieve with your fuzz? if you like bassy shit find a glitch computer. omfg so good. fuzz factories are fun but so temperamental its easy to lose a setting and never find it again. some times i feel like the fucking tone would change with the weather. devi's tbd is fun and awesome but ive never been able to really use it musically. it was always me farting around with the effects loops seeing what kind of broken atari noises i can make. the disaster fuzz in the tbd is nice but i kinda dig her sm circuit more for fuzz, i ended up flipping my tbd. dba has some awesome shit. im sad to say ive never owned them so i cant really knock it or say its awesome. personally i love mid-fi fuzz's; right now im running a glitch computer>what?>random number generator

+1 for Eau Claire Thunder.

If you want something purely (almost) uncontrollable, check out a SS/BS Year 4545. Oscillation is barely tamable, it's ridiculously heavy on some settings, and it can do the crackly, cutting, vintage fuzz as well. Worth a look IMO.
