Fu Manchu Fuzz?

[Pecan]

How can i get this type of fuzz? Would a Zvex fuzz factory be able to mimic the sound with one of its settings? Any other pedals?

One of them uses a Crown Fuzz-Wah, the other uses a re-issue Fuzz Face.

The Crown is a variation of a Shin-Ei fuzz.

You can probably get a similar sound to the Crown by running a Fuzz Face before a wah, though I haven't tried it myself.

That was the old setup. The dude who used the Fuzz Face had an SG with a CC, and the other had a Jaguar with a Hot Rails. Since around the turn of the century, they've been using reissue Dan Armstrongs with Hot Rails straight into Marshall JCM2000s (according to an approx 5 yr old GP interview).

Yea, about two years ago I saw them live at House of Blues and that's exactly what they were playing. The only pedal I recall for sure was a phase 90 I believe.

Normally it's a Phase 100

Yep this is proof why I like the Eddie Glass, Scott Hill, Ruben Romano, Mark Abshire/Brad Davis lineup

Because of the clear guitars?

Actually I think the sound of the lead channel maxed on a DSL100 is an awesome fuzz tone. It sounds just like Fu. It holds together for rhythm but it's still pretty nasty.
