Hello everyone!

Question:

I primarily play guitars outfitted with p90's.

I recently bought a Reverend Eastsider with a strat pickup configuration. I love it to death, but I have run into a problem:

I'm looking for a fuzz that will work well with it.

I'm a huge fan of my Devi Ever Hyperion, EWS Fuzzy Drive, Rats, and Bi Fuzz.

I'm looking for something that can get me more bass-boosted low end fuzz with enough gain to facilitate shredding. I play in a Bowie tribute band, and I'm looking for a mix of Fripp and Gabrels when I'm thinking about this tone.

Thanks!~

Maybe this? http://www.shoepedals.com/robert.html

There's the ARC Buzzaround clone, could work for you. I think fuzz faces and strats are a match made in heaven, but prob not what you're going for...

Also I wanna check out that Shoe pedal now

Big Muff

Spooky Tooths can get frippy

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I'm totally digging the Crimson King and Shor pedals!

Any idea what kind of muff variant I should be looking into?

I always found Ram's Head variants to be the best all-round Muffs, but there's many types I haven't tried. If you go down that rabbit hole you'll have to try them in person. Maybe something with less-scooped mids than your typical muff? For cheap, the EHX Tone Wicker I guess. OR... a B&M champ/fuzz unit? Kind of muffish, not as heavy sounding perhaps, but a little more versatile.

I've always like the Musket bestwhen it came to Muffs, it has a fantastic sound with really well dialed tonal options, can go from mild to apocalypse.

I don't really hear *fuzz* per se when I think of Gabriels in the Bowie era.

It's more amp gain or straight-ahead rock distortion.

some sort of Buzzaround is a good suggestion.
also, maybe a ZVEX Mastotron or Box of Metal would work.
