Sick of not using some of my favorite pedals, and having to make tough gear decisions. Moving everything to a giant board doesn't make sense either, I don't want to haul around a big ass board with 6 dirt pedals and than only use two of 'em if that's what a particular jam/situation calls for...

So since I'm just a couple pedals short for making a second board that's more than just a collection of left overs that didn't make the main board...

I'll let you guys give me some inspiration for the little shopping spree I'm planning

Fist pic shows the latest incarnation of the small board. The big one is roughly twice that size. I like to keep things straight forward, and I don't go the boutique route unless there's an actual reason not to spend half as much on the boss alternative.

So far on the want list: Small Clone, Avalanche run, Ibanez DE-7. Everything else would be purely GAS driven, even more so that the rest.
Dirt: An od that's not as dark and muddy as the hotcake? Another fuzz in the vein of the clusterfuzz, only smaller/simpler/cheaper? Don't really care for modulation, but I'm open to ideas for something unique that could maybe help with making eery/ambienty stuff

Pretty much everything else that I want to use:

Fabtone: The sound of a nuclear meltdown. There's a reason Mogwai digs this mahfakker. Deserves a spot, even though it's not exactly a transparent always-on overdrive.
Maxon D&S: My favorite muff, after trying a bazzilion of 'em. Doesn't need a bunch of silly scoop/crunch/mids/focus/whtver controls to sound badass.
OBD-3: Sounds like the bastard child of a big muff, hm-2 and fz-2 threesome. Disgusing and annoying, in a good way.
Freeze: Didn't make it to the current main board cause it apparantly needs its own unregulated shitty ps.
DOD FX-20: Just a solid phaser for the occasional swooooaash.

I'll see what goes on which board and how/when everything will be used after I'm done shopping

cool!






story bro

hehe yeah, I'm kinda bored, and got a little extra moolah that I'd like to spend on whateever my GAS tells me to spend it on.

So....what's the end-all-be-all superfuzz these days? What about alternatives for the small clone or the DE-7? The latter seems to suffer from inflated prices due to the omg-cheapish-self-oscillation!!! hype

Smallsound Bigsound Buzzz and Dwarfcraft Necromancer would probably be the most IlF-cred superfuzzies to choose from.

Here's a list I had saved of some super fuzz-based pedals, from my own personal notes:

-Behringer SF 300
-Black Cat Super Fuzz
-Boss FZ-2
-Boss FZ-3
-Creepy Fingers Harikiri
-Devi Ever Silver Rose (has a Super Fuzz side)
-Dwarfcraft Devices Necromancer
-Dwarfcraft Devices Silver Rose V2 (has a Super Fuzz side)
-Earthquaker Devices Fuzz Master General ("based on the Ace Tone Fuzz Master, which itself is a pretty straight clone
of the super fuzz, with apparently the slightest of differences.")
-GoochFx Superbfuzz
-Guyatone TZ-2 The Fuzz
-Idiotbox Effects Ron Fucking Swanson Super Fuzz
-Lastgasp Art Laboratories Sooper Fuzz 46
-Lastgasp Art Laboratories Super Fuzz 45
-Malekko Omicron
-Maxon FA10 Fuzz Elements-Air
-Maxon FA10 Fuzz Elements-Ether
-MJM China Fuzz
-Smallsound/Bigsound Buzzz
-Smallsound/Bigsound Super Puzzle
-TSVG The Fluzzy
-Voodoo Lab Super Fuzz
-Wilson Effects Knuckle Dragger

Nice, that should give me buzzy for a while
I know most of the ones in that list, or at least heard of them...But a bunch of others I definitely want to check.

Btw, any reason the BYOC Leeds isn't in your list? And the Wattson FX stuff? Also, I thought the Voodoo Lab only shared the name, but is really based on the Jordan Bosstone. Right? And I've got an FZ-3 has nothing to do with the superfuzz circuit either, it's a somewhat muddy fuzzface imo, at best

Besides that, you saved me a bunch of work putting together a list liket that for myself, cheers

And the Buzzz has been on my list for a while, it seems to hard to score a used one that's not like $20 cheaper than a new one

Just didn't know about them, ha

Yeah you're probably right, don't really know. Just a list of pedals that at some point I read and/or assumed were Super Fuzz based. The only one I've ever tried is the FZ-2.

I had a Wattson FY-6 for a while. Looks rad, and nails the classic Univox Superfuzz tone imo. Still, I flipped it and kept my FZ-2. I tried em side by side, and though the FZ-2 doesn't have that vintage mojo of the FY-6, Boss's take on the circuit is just a little more brutal and menacing, and the eq and boost mode are awesome extras. Never messed with the BYOC Leeds, but it's supposedly a pretty accurate clone too.
