I tried my first fuzz.

Post by Adoom »

Played my violin through an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi reissue that belonged to a friend today.

Jesus.

:ewok:

So. The great fuzz hunt begins.

I like that thick, swampy tone. I was running it with the Tone knob generally in the counter clockwise region, and the sustain quite the opposite. Monstrous sounding. So anybody I should check out? The Muff had it's problems. Not enough to stop me getting one and playing it non stop, but yeah. Who else should I gander at.

I will never have money again.
I play.

I bet it would sound great with a violin and it can get pretty muffish only bigger and cooler.

Other muffs like a supercollider or pharoah or something might also be cool? Gnomeratron VTF looks super fun and probably does the sound you want!

Borrow more pedals and don't spend on anything until you find one you absolutely love.

To each their own, behndy.

I know it's gonna be weird to hear, but I really dug the defunct FH Chalice when it was still around. The ss/bs TAFM is also a pretty raditudinal fuzz box full of versatile noises. Of course I've had a lot of fun messing around with an EQD Dreamcrusher.

Just gotta keep trying 'em out to see which one works best for you.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

No...


You could spend a lot of time and money on muff clones alone. The Dwarfcraft Devices Eau Claire Thunder for me is about at the top of the heap if we are talking muffs and muffkillers. My favorite stock muffs are the old green Sovteks. Favorite muff clone is the Thunder cloud by Katana Sound.
