Fuzz/Drive that can make your amp sound like it's damaged

[sylnau]

I legit thought this thread was being necro-bumped from 2009 judging solely by the title.

Me too So confused.

[Ghost Hip]

Listen y'all are taking too long so let me speed this up:

Smallsound/Bigsound: mostly all of them on the right setting
Death By Audio: mostly all of them
Dwarfcraft GREAT DESTROYER, SHE FUZZ, BIG DISTORTION SOUND MACHINE
Devi Ever: LP (aka Let's Play), US, White Spider (Torn's Peaker was already mentioned buttttt this one needs a special shout out), Rocket in Trem/noise mode, Soda Meiser with chaos mode, all them Manglers, Super-Tri Fuzz/Truly Beautiful Disaster, ***THE DEVI EVER OK BY ITSELF, INTO, OR AFTER LITERALLY ANY DRIVE PEDAL***, Destructo Noctavia, Circuit Breaker, Aenima, Spectacular Aenima, NOISE FLOOR
Holowon/TheSyle: Furr Fuzz, Mind Eraser
Mellowtone: Wolf Computer
OHNOHO: BLOWING UP
I will back the HEQ1
Underrated: EHX Germanium 4 Big Muff double pedal thing, whatever it was called.
Does the Geiger Counter count? (hah count)
PLL based pedals like the Data Corrupter if they're set to sound less synthy and more fuzz pedal-like with hints of chaos.

BONUS ROUND: Put a detune pedal before any fuzz that has a hint of Octavia.

Big Muff into sd1
And MK1 with very low attack gates and sounds lovely broken

Mountainking Decomposer is very good for this (also one of the most touch sensitive fuzzes I've ever had too)
The pre and post gain in the RM1N is amazing for this, when you crank them it makes this delayed crashing fuzz wall.
Driving Notion

[adamajah]

Take just about any fuzz with a bias trim pot and bias it "poorly" (aka better), and boost it. :P

Also, TAFM can make stuff sound broken, and it can actually break your speaker for real. That shit gets LOUD

I'll chip in Mountainking's Decomposer!

Gonna have to try that detune into analog octave up (into Driving Notion, natch!)

[duffmcshark]

One of those dying battery simulator boxes can do that, but not all pedals work with them (Way Huge and Hardwire in particular). The cheapest combo is a dying battery sim and an LPB-1 or Muff Overdrive (both can handle next to no power without turning off).

[The Eristic]

Can second Driving Notion and Ultra Fuzz.

Fryette SAS can get as close to an exploding tube amp as anything I've heard besides an exploding tube amp, which I actually have heard.

Not strictly a fuzz but the LAL Cyber Psychic can get totally destroyed.

Also pretty much anything 4MS made. I worry when I play the Noise Swash sometimes.

That's interesting about the Angry Troll, I gotta look into that.

Things become exponentially more gnarly with the Anger control set beyond the second "fist" detent.

I also forgot to mention the Colorsound Overdriver, which can also make amp gain delightfully grody with its more extreme EQ or gain settings. The Aminal Audio Lil' Monster is another extreme boost worth exploring for busted amp textures, especially in mode IV.

Other standalone options include:

Option 5 Destination Squarewave
Lovepedal Mississippi Tchula
Lovepedal Dover Drive
Xvive Sweet Leo
Noisereap Asstone
Holowon Static Egg
Yellowcake Furry Burrito
DOD Carcosa
Function F(x) Clusterfuzz
Fuzzhugger Suneater
Fuzzhugger Velcrobot
Basic Audio Fuzz Mutant
Aminal Audio Filthy Aminal
Most Harmonic Percolator clones
Dr. Scientist Bitquest

I don't know if it's the sound you're looking for, but when I need It i just power a fuzz with lower voltage than required. Most of the times it sounds like the speaker is broken.

[MechaGodzilla]

Hudson broadcast on full blast is very much a something's-gonna-break sound

[Dandolin]

Welp, you guys have obvi got it covered with all your casual bandying about of highly technical jargon like "bias" and "voltage starve" (jk )

There's a fine line, though, between pedloling a damaged amp noise and actually damaging your amp with a pedlol

I kinda like the sound of this upcoming broken sounding jawn from Matty Mattoverse (though I don't know that it sounds like an amp is the thing that is broken):
