I love the fuzz sounds other people get with fuzz boxes, but I hate using them. I just got a Selah Misty Mountain fuzz kind of as a last attempt at trying out another boutique fuzz pedal, and it is a really, really good pedal. It's among the best I have tried, with the Selah or Bonamassa possibly being my favorites, but after tinkering with them they just bother me. I start to hate the tone. Then they do this kind of thing that sounds like there's an overpowered noisegate and they feel like you are playing one of those little battery powered micro amps with a low battery.
I'm not bashing fuzz pedals because, like I said, they sound great when other people use them. I just personally can't stand them. I also don't see the need for every boutique builder to make ten different versions of them. It seems like a new fuzz pedal comes out every week. I don't know. Maybe there is something I don't know about using them or maybe I'm using them wrong. The natural fuzziness of Orange amps pleases me, but anything more is just not appealing. I'm going to sell my fuzz and finally move on from trying to make one stay on my pedal board.
