So I got to thinking the other day that I just use off the wall crazy fuzz now. When I need something light I just roll back the volume on channel 2 of the Marshall dsl. When I first joined this site I liked mild fuzz like fuzz faces, but now years later I use fuzz for weird textures. I loop a lot solo so I like glitchy synthy sounding fuzz's. what fuzz do you guys love the most at this period of your life and why ?!?!??

maestro brassmaster. or for me the malekko assmaster. it does everything i want from a fuzz.

Between my midfi glitch computer, what?!, and random number generator I'm fully covered in fuzziness

I've never owned a fuzz pedal

Muffs, man. Fuzzstortion. And Octave Fuzz into muffs. Cranked Harmonic Percolators. Meatheads

Companion Fuzz clones, particularly the one Bukowski built me. Ram's Head Muffs.

I was a big muff guy for the longest time, but in the last couple years I've been getting more and more into the grindier side of fuzz. Currently I'm using a Tone Machine, an Orbit, an Aenima and soon I'll have a custom one finished which is fuzzrite-based.

My tastes are best described by the name of a Mudhoney album.

If it's good enough for Mudhoney it's good enough for ILF...

Fuzzhugger, all of 'em...

versatile ones, really. I totally get the appeal and benefits of a 'set and stomp' fuzz like a muff, but I just find myself happier in the long run with something I can experiment with in greater depth. The Great Destroyer is what I have right now, and it certainly fits my requirements. GASing for a tafm something fierce though...

+1, Since We've Become Translucent, good choice.
It represents my love of light drive that just gives my tone a hint of color.

pretty much haha to be honest the most normal sounding one out of the three is the glitch computer (if you consider sounding like a low octave synth running through a velcroish fuzz; i use it to add bass to my loops)

im going to have to indepth check an assmaster out in person. i always drool over your pedal pics, so for you to put it on a pedestal(catch the pun? ) means its gotta be tits.

to be honest besides devi variants ive never owned a true muff maybe i need to rectify that

Yup.

The custom Tone Machine -> Pharaoh LaoWiz built me has been my main fuzzlove on bass since I got it:

1.) Brash yet full/synth-lead-esque sound (Tone Machine, octave off)
2.) Barley discernible chaos (Tone Machine, octave on)
3.) A mild but driven "notched" sound (Tone Machine, octave on, vol knob rolled back)
4.) Sludge (Pharaoh, germanium setting, everything cranked)
5.) "Mechanical Death" (both stacked, octave on)

I would like to get something more on the gated/sputtery/oscillating/unpredictable side of things, but overall I'm happy with these flavors.
Would also like to try a Brassmaster one of these days.
