Title says it all. I have a SuperFuzz clone on the way and I just saw the Hyper Fuzz in the B/S/T so I was considering trading my currently unused HM-2 for it. Talk me into or out of it ILF. I'm depending on you.

I think you should do it. You're not using the HM-2, there's nothing to lose.

My only reservation is that the HM-2 is the best sounding pedal on my bass, but if I miss it too much I think there are a few available locally. How's the Hyper Fuzz on bass?

A true superfuzz or like a VooDoo Labs SuperFuzz (Bosstone)?

I have a FZ-2, and it's nasty.
While awesome, I can't really see myself using it live.

I wouldn't do it. I'd rather have two different types of pedals than two pedals of the same ilk.

A SuperFuzz like a Univox clone. I think I'll hold off for now, maybe see if he's interested in something else I've got. Thanks for helping me fend off the urges guys!

what the fuck is this bullshit.

This is the exact reply I was expecting. I'm really torn, on one hand my HM-2 is a beloved beast, on the other hand, people have been raving about the FZ-2 lately. My IC Muff just itches the scratch for thick gnarly fuzz. If I miss it too much I can get another HM-2 locally... I think I've gotta do it.

Exactly. I'm gonna go one step further: get the Hyper Fuzz, and then get an IdiotBox Dungeon Master to replace the HM-2.

That's the ILF way to do it.

I was just being the voice of reason. :saint:

Suppose it depends on what you're doing......or if this is just an adventure in GAS.

The HM-2 is way more practical and sounds good.
The FZ-2 is crazy.....either too many much mids or too many little mids....boost is cool though.
The Verellen Big Spider is similar, but not nearly as octavey glitchy digitally nasty as the FZ-2.

How does the FZ-2 compare to the SuperFuzz in terms of wildness?

Fz-2 fucking RULES on bass, just so you know.

+1 for DM. The HEAVIEST pedal I've ever had the fortune to play. Theres a tourbox right now for the Idiot box stuff with this in it, maybe see if you can get in on that if its not too late Thurber?

Unfortunately I don't think I've been around long enough to quality for tour box action. I'm leaving to jam with a friend right now, bringing my beloved Rat/IC Muff combo pedal and the HM-2 (and my Blue Box) as my dirt sources. This will be the final test. Depending on how awesome the HM-2 sounds at reasonable levels and how much I want to step on it next to the Muff, its fate will be determined.

I actually a/b'd my FZ-2 with a Wattson FY-6 clone, which is probably one of the closest Superfuzz clones out there as far as I know of.

Sold the Wattson in a heartbeat. Great superfuzz clone and all, but the FZ-2 is just beefierwilderbiggerlowernastier. More gain, more balls, a little less octavy/klangy, if that makes any sense at all. Impo it's not worth getting both a superfuzz clone as well as an FZ-2, unless maybe if you're in a 60's garageband and want a seperate board for your dooù/slude/trash band.

If you can't just keep 'em all, just sell the HM-2. They're easy enough availble in case you regret the decision later on and want to get another one.
