Fuzzes from the seventies?

Post by wafl »

I'm really bad at remembering the dates for things.

So what fuzzes were made in the seventies, preferably designed in the seventies.
I have this idea for an enclosure covered in shag carpeting, and I feel a 70s fuzz should reside within.

I'm thinking maybe the maestro fz-1s?
Not a big muff.

the rat was born in the late 70s. superfuzz is late 60s. tone machine is early 70s and had a fuzzy box. thatd be a good one. brassmaster is early 70s too. fz1 is early 60s.

When I think 70's fuzz, I think Big Muff.

60s - Fuzz Face
70s - Muff
80s - Rat

This is how my brain works.

I can only make porn music with a wah, but without slapbass it just sounds depressing.
Like low production value porn depressing.

Damn, I was trying to avoid a muff but now I don't really have a choice.
I'm still going to shag a foxx tone machine. ;)

Step 1: make pedal.
Step 2: call it a "Blue Waffle Muff"
Step 3: profit.



































Step 4: collect underpants.
