I use a Bluebeard Fuzz, which is marketed as a bass pedal, but it's really just a modified BigMuff clone...so I guess that's grey area.

Thanks sev - RN is THE MAN!!

I almost pulled the trigger on a DE Super Black Hole a couple of weeks ago but wasn't sure about the whole "bass pedal" thing - now I'm a little bummed after hearing from some of you...

Let's keep it going - lots of good suggestions coming! :thumb:

very....different.
How was that? I've been thinking about giving one of those try...Does it blend the clean signal? Is it really boomy?


i actually really liked it
great tone and a useably blend thing.
bass boost was pretty good. dont know if it was like an old green muff. but it was gewd

Nychthemeron, god you were so right. That was in fact what i was gonna suggest. The Megalith by Mountainking Electronics.

I mean if you're going to go for doomy fuzz, why not buy a pedal built SPECIFICALLY for doom gods like Scott Kelly (Neurosis) and Al Cisernos (Sleep & Om)

it's around 250, but I have some Mountainking Stuff, and i LOVE it.

Like Jrmy said, the Catalinbread SFT is a pedal i'm gassin' hard for, it sounds like the end of the world.

Devi Ever Cherry Pop... i wish i could find one :(

and finally, the Malekko B:Assmaster Germanium, which get's you in the Vein of Electric Wizard.

Actually, Jus from Electric Wizard used strictly a Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz on most of the earlier records, and i have one of those, and i have to say it's fucking crazy awesome.
I've got a fuzzbox and i'm not afraid to use it

Wizard - you hit the nail on the head as far as the fuzz sound I'm looking for. Don't know if the rest of my band wants to hear that but I definitely do, even if it's just at home!!

I checked out a demo of the Megalith and it sounds fantastic, but is too much for my budget right now. I'll have to keep on the lookout for a used one, along with the Catalinbread SFT and Devi Ever Cherry Pop if they're in the same catagory.
