can someone school me on this fuzz?
because it sounds cool as hell.

mainly i'm wondering
hows the bottom end?
how well does it stack
does it hate brighter amps.

:group:

I love how this pedal stack...
Octave down > US is amazing!!!
US > heavy fuzz is also wonderfull.

Low ends is great, but I use it mostly for static kind of exploding low gain thing.

Yeah the low end was pretty good if I can remember when I had it. Could get nice and doomy if you wanted it to, or staticky or gated or ungated. Was really fun when I had it

It stacks really well, I love it after my main distortion.

i'm trying to decide between what i can pair with my crimson drive.
not that i have any money so i shouldn't really be contemplating it, but i am regardless.

its basically between this, peace gun, fuzz stang, or mini.
i need something to accentuate the grind(wrong word probably) that the crimson drive has when you crank the drive
but also have the options to get a little weird/gated/ect

I find that I need to use a blender with it if I want the splattery fuzz out of it (which is what I got it for) with bass.
Sounds brilliant blended in though.

Never tried the Peace Gun or the Mini, but I tried the Fuzz Stang MkII.
US is a more modern sounding gated fuzz.
FS is more retro bicker movies type of fuzz.

I decides to keep US over FS because I personally prefer modern sounding fuzz.
And there is more option avaible with the US.

I wish I could try a Mini or a Dwarfcraft She-Fuzz.

:lol: Syl, that's not necessarily a "problem".

If Casavettes wants a pedal to bring out the grindiness in a pedal, a full on fuzz may not always be the best choice.

Maybe some kind of fuzzface clone would do it.
I use to stack a Fuzzy Lady into a Fire Red Fuzz... the sound was awesome.
The battle between the two, Fuzzy Lady trying to stop the sustain of the Fire Red Fuzz, that was cool.
Don't have any of those anymore.

Gotcha. So, you're definitely looking for a fuzz?
