How much fuzz...?

...is enough? Or too much?

I only have two fuzzes but they're both amazing and versatile (can overdrive, oscillate, be full blown or gated, be completely weird or pretty straight too). Some days it seems like there's plenty they can't do, and some days they seem almost too versatile, you know (just want to kick something and make noise, not too fussy)?

So do you need something to cover every fuzz tone, or are you cool with what you've got?

I'm a set-and-forget dude, so I use a couple dirt boxes that I can set up for different sounds, then just stomp and go.

I feel like my selection is just different enough to justify having them all on my board:
Singing Tree
Rat
Algal Bloom
Wolf Computer
GZ

can you dig it?

I've got a VFM and a Wrong Side of Uranus. So, run of the mill Devi fuzz, and bitcrushing effects.

Need more. :lol:

There is never a too much...

Ok On my board ATM I have one and am waiting on one to be made.: Katana Sound Supper Bass Fuzz and I'm waiting on a smaller GWV3.

But I have many fuzzes
Fuzz Hugger: Phantom Wall [custom, Phantom Octave > Great Wall V3]
Devi Ever: Work Horse Fuzz, SMBH, Ok, DF.
L.A.L: Super Oscillo Fuzz 88
Katana Sound: Thunder Cloud
HAO: The Roar, I have 4 of these
General Guitar Gadgets: Tuned BMP, Shin Ei™ Companion Fuzz™
Sovtek/EHX: Green BMP, Black BMP, NYC BMP and a BBM
SD: Teak Fuzz
Voodoo Labs Supper Fuzz

I think that is all my fuzzes... I think I am forgetting one... Oh.. also have a moog Freq-box...

I can think of at least 10+ fuzzes I still want...

No such thing as too many ... or enough.

Mine are listed in my sig,and my dirt collection is ever-changing. The 2 constants are the Phantom Arcade and Devi Soda Meiser with chaos. Those go nowhere. But I could go for more,specifically a standalone Phantom Octave,an Arc Flash Oscillator,an AB Synth,and a super secret something I'm dreaming up.

I don't think I'll ever have enough fuzz (or dirt in general).
Right now, I have a Bogdan Polish Love, Zendrive Clone, Black BMP modded to Civil War specs, Musket v2, Great Destroyer, BIT, Fatman V1 and I have a TAFM and Groundswell on the way.

You're a wise man muddy. I may even let you live.

I run 3 to 4 fuzz pedals on my board and with all other pedals, to me that is already too much to carry to gigs....
