Maybe something octavey for the metallicity - Superfuzz, Kay Fuzztone, Fender Blender, Foxx Tone Machine, Ampeg Scrambler, blended to taste and through some light overdrive to sweeten it up harmonically? The Fuzztone is the coldest of those lot I think but the Scrambler already incorporates a blend. I would suggest also getting a power starve and playing with the volume on your guitar to get those silicon fuzzes sounding synthy.

Is the sag knob on the Pedal Power 2+ the same as a power starve?

Ab-Synth with a clean blend, or anything with a clean blend...

I think I am going to just get a Boss LS-2 so a whole new world of options open.


Still looking for some modulation though.

Randy's Revenge is modulation :poke:
Else, go get a Cosmichorus.

Trem bar or bend strings??? I get weird modulation with stacked fuzz and off beat notes... DOD has some pedals with distortion and slight delay...

Both still cost more than I am interested in spending.


I think more fuzz isn't the right solution here after all. I am stacking a wampler euphoria into a BAT Black Forest already and that is too gain much if I don't dial the Black Forest back.

Maybe something like a simpler version of the orbital modulator or bass filter by source audio would be good.

I guess if you don't seem to know what you want we can't tell either... :idk:

Well I sure as hell know I don't need boutique fuzz. I know *exactly* what I want. The stuff you have been suggesting isn't even close, maybe my being polite has led you astray.


And that is why I came to ask you guys. It's a process, and if you don't read my posts past the OP then I can't help you help me.

Read my last message and let's go from there.

Still, I'd say sleep it over, watch some vids maybe (Kayzer on youtube makes good ones for example) and then get back to it, it seems you're rambling too much in your head over it (if so I can relate and I guess a lots of people here can, been there, had that). :thumb: ;)

How about we just work from here, ok? I'll just make due with the dirt I have.

Sure, all good.
One of those might be good indeed, I don't know, try it out maybe.

Yes, but just saying "hey, you will eventually find something" kind of defeats the purpose of me asking you for help.

I said something *like them*, not them specifically. I have tried a few SA pedals, overly complex and not impressed.
