Re: Define Fuzz
Hmm, that's interesting because i always thought of distortion as the ultimate heavyness. If fuzz is so heavy in comparison, why do metal bands use distortion? Why is there a metal zone but no metal fuzz, is what im saying i guess.
Easy mate !!!
Because pedal co's are slow to catsh on !!!
The whole GRUNGE movement was almost over before Boss came out with their two fuzz-boxes. You can say, "too little , wayyyy too late !".
BUT i have good new for ya !
The good folks at EHX just unleached the
"METALMUFF " !

The clips sound good !
But for me, myideal fuzz is more like the tones that you get from, EHX's, the
BIG MUFF, Maxon's D&S, ProCo's You Dirty Rat, Effector 13's "kP".
WARNING :
Most of the pedlas that Devi produce from her co. "Effector 13", is
Extreme Fuzz noisemachines - WAYyyyy OTT - do check look into her site, be be warned !
Her new'est pedal, the "Shoegazer" is also very sweet !
MAN I LOVE FUZZ !
Oh, before i forget !
If you want to hear a " Big Muff " max'ed on a CD, listen to ANY "
MUDHONEY" album !
Tracks like, "Flat out Phucked", "Touch me i'm sick", and "In & out of grace" comes to mind !
Another installment of my 2 cents !
