What kind of fuzz do you lovvvvveeee

Post by fishtankdork »

So I got to thinking the other day that I just use off the wall crazy fuzz now. When I need something light I just roll back the volume on channel 2 of the Marshall dsl. When I first joined this site I liked mild fuzz like fuzz faces, but now years later I use fuzz for weird textures. I loop a lot solo so I like glitchy synthy sounding fuzz's. what fuzz do you guys love the most at this period of your life and why ?!?!??

I was a big muff guy for the longest time, but in the last couple years I've been getting more and more into the grindier side of fuzz. Currently I'm using a Tone Machine, an Orbit, an Aenima and soon I'll have a custom one finished which is fuzzrite-based.

versatile ones, really. I totally get the appeal and benefits of a 'set and stomp' fuzz like a muff, but I just find myself happier in the long run with something I can experiment with in greater depth. The Great Destroyer is what I have right now, and it certainly fits my requirements. GASing for a tafm something fierce though...

+1, Since We've Become Translucent, good choice.
It represents my love of light drive that just gives my tone a hint of color.

pretty much ;) haha to be honest the most normal sounding one out of the three is the glitch computer (if you consider sounding like a low octave synth running through a velcroish fuzz; i use it to add bass to my loops)

im going to have to indepth check an assmaster out in person. i always drool over your pedal pics, so for you to put it on a pedestal(catch the pun? :lol: ) means its gotta be tits.

to be honest besides devi variants ive never owned a true muff :idk: maybe i need to rectify that

Yup.

The custom Tone Machine -> Pharaoh LaoWiz built me has been my main fuzzlove on bass since I got it:

1.) Brash yet full/synth-lead-esque sound (Tone Machine, octave off)
2.) Barley discernible chaos (Tone Machine, octave on)
3.) A mild but driven "notched" sound (Tone Machine, octave on, vol knob rolled back)
4.) Sludge (Pharaoh, germanium setting, everything cranked)
5.) "Mechanical Death" (both stacked, octave on)

I would like to get something more on the gated/sputtery/oscillating/unpredictable side of things, but overall I'm happy with these flavors.
Would also like to try a Brassmaster one of these days.
