sooooo, i suck at googling ilf.

i also don't know the pedal lingo enough to understand the marketing texts or describe what i want. i need to find a box that gives me a ripping, splattery, textural mess, kinda like on witch's seer, but maybe an even more extreme shade of velcro. you know the sound. someone wrote that it's og little big muff and someone else knew that it's the double muff. i have no idea, but neither (according to the youtube demos) quite hit the TASTINESS of what i can hear on the record. from what i've tried, muffs seem to be more like this wall of sound, that i'm not searching for.

os mutantes? superfuzz? WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR??? i feel like there is an obvious answer to this, but i'm not a guitar person, so i'm just lost.

A trad answer for ILF, but I love my fuzz factory for this purpose.

Fuzz Mutant and Hyper Fuzz fo sho. Lots of ways to get tharr. Suneater is my current champion for this.

First fuzz that comes to mind after listening is the Solidgold fx Formula 76. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dznFNqwm-NE

That into an amp with some bumped up mids would be sweet.

fOXX Tone Machine?
I read that Kyle used a Little Big Muff live, though.

Big Muffs can get a little scratchy depending on the amp, especially into a scooped Fender style amp. A poster on another forum claimed that album was recorded with a muff and a "Tweed Champ + Super Champ cranked way up."

With that setup in mind, I can definitely see a muff doing the job. Actually, listening back to the recording with this in mind, I cannot unhear how critical a role those cranked small Fenders play in it. If you are using a big, high headroom amp, some of the alternatives mentioned will get it done.

thanks y'all! i'll check your recommendations out! i think someone i know has a fuzz factory and mayyyybe a tone machine clone.

fwiw i'm using a music man hybrid combo, but it doesn't sound like that with a BMP (i've tried a modern one, clone of a green russian and a bluebeard). i think og little big muff supposedly has a different sound to it than BMP, but i have never even seen one live.

Get on this now. The bot mode lets you get all the filtery loving you need.

There are two SICK finishes available at the moment. If you are going to use it live get the big box version - I kept stepping on both stomps by accident with the small box.

Yeah, there's a ton of nice booteek pedlols that can do a simimar thing. But I bet any old overdrive into a big muff will get you close enough.
Having said that, the amp might play a key role here as well

The Fuzz Factory could indeed do the trick, a Red Witch Fuzz God II or a Clusterfuzz too.

Second vote for the velcroar here.

Fuzz factory of course does this well but I find them a bit annoying.

Zoom Ultra Fuzz is good if you can find one but they're a stupid shape.

+1 to the Velcrobot, one of the most amazing pedals I own.

damn. that velcrobot seems really nice. i'm kinda hoping to not spend a ton of money into this, but i'll def keep that in mind.

An older finish is on sale at Fuzzmonster. They are good dudes.

According to The Internet

The singer uses an SG, and the only amps they used on the recording were an old Tweed Champ and a Super Champ cranked right up, with a Double Muff for the fuzz sounds

but I dunno - that tone seems pretty heavily filtered, which you definitely don't get out of a double muff (no relation to a big muff). I can imagine that the velcro-ey sag you are getting is just from slamming the old amps (double muffs are loud) but I can't imagine getting that filtery tone out of that sort of amp - but someone who can slam a tweed can perhaps correct me.

Either way, you're going to want to simulate the crumble of that amp catching fire.

two others that come to mind for me are the keeler kick or the wright sounds fuzzstang.

Velco is in the eye of the beholder, but I like the gated settings of a ZVex Fuzzolo for velcro. But there are really two kinds of velcro - gated and non-gated. I think you're talking about the non-gated kind. Get a Velcrobot.
