I want to do this, I've got a ps-2, ps-3, and a pog and I want to make them awesome with fuzz, at least one of them. Have you done it before? How did you do it? What fuzz did you use? I want to riff along, heavy chugga chugga type stuff, root notes, maybe some 5ths nothing fancy, down would be good, up is ok too, I can take glitch, I want kinda synthy. Got it? Ok good. Also, don;t be afraid to tell me it can't be awesome, that you tried it and it wasn't cool. I can handle that too.

Big Muff> Pog w/ octave down and 2 octaves up detuned.

Should I crank those sliders? Adjust to taste? I was trying the sub and the regular input way up with a "sprinkling" of the upper octaves but it didn't catch me, I think I need to take them higher.

Might as well just crank 'em all for maximum chaos!

In my experience:
Bass into POG into Turbo Rat = crazy lead tonez.
Bass into POG into Assmaster = crazy glitch angry computer stutter.
Bass into POG into Wolf Computer = WTF?@#&!(#$
Also, if you're looking to get new gear, I like the pitch shift + internal fuzz on the Holy Stain.

Putting pitch shifters before dirt just messes up your sound for the worse IMO.

Do you pitch shift after dirt? I've only done it before... maybe I should try switching things around.

Well, my dirt is always some sort of FUzz, usually a derivative of the Big Muff. Putting something like an octave pedal before just makes it sound like you are playing in octaves normally(i.e. a power chord without the 5th for those type of peoples

) But with it after, it doesn't track quite as well, but the sound is much more full.

Definetly!
Big Muff> Frazz Dazzler > Blue Box> US

edit: oops, the Frazz and Blue Box should be switched around so the Blue Box right after the Big Muff.

A Big Muff before it adds sustain.
