What are you getting at??

I have tried a metal zone several times when I was at college last year. It was the biggest piece of crap I ever used

Is that the re-issued Distortion+, mustard yellow, two control knobs?

I know somebody with an early Eighties original. :naughty:

Nope, it is this one :

Re: affordable straight up fuzz pedal?

Go for the Boss or the MXR.

Re: affordable straight up fuzz pedal?

MXR is good, low cost and true bypass, fuzz face, keeley fuzz. D*A*M are pricey and harder to get but sound great and hand made in England

If you want that sound from that UTOOB clip then you don't want a Fuzz Face...

Re: affordable straight up fuzz pedal?

^ One of the worst sounding fuzzs Ive ever heard..at least by the clips. YMMV.

Swollen Pickle is a more versatile big muff on steroids

A Big Muff or Lil Big Muff are great

The Hendrix fuzzes are good if you want to nail only the Hendrix tone, which is a great tone, but the Big Muffs or Swollen Pickle are more like Swiss army knives

Re: affordable straight up fuzz pedal?

You could probably email the guy in the clip and get the schematic, or where he bought it from.

The info in that clip has more info, but I'm not sure it's the same circuit - sounds more woolly and uncontrolled.

I have an old Blue Box Fulltone 70 I really like. Got a Captain Coconut with all 3 of the fuzzcards - Like the Fulltone better at the moment.

Voodoo Lab Superfuzz or DMB Pedals Foxy Pirate....not breaking the bank and extremely versatile and straightforward

To me a fuzz face, big muff pi, etc are kinda more of one trick ponies where the two I listed kinda combine qualities of many different fuzzes especially depending on how you tweak the knobs
