Re: Is this a Fuzz
Sounds like it could be a big muff or fuzz face depending on amp settings. But it could also be a direct signal (no speaker cab) with overdrive or fuzz blended into an amped signal but that is based on just listening to the above clip.

Re: Is this a Fuzz
its splatty like a face. I reckon a silicon face. Still, hes got so many other sounds on there i reckon you can get close with a number of fuzzes. Having said that....silicon fuzz faces are really cool pedals and i reckon they would get a lot more love if if were not for the mythical status of unobtanium transistors.
There are a number of great ones out there from analogman, theo hartman and fulltone just to name a few.

Re: Is this a Fuzz
Hmm, it sounds vaguely tonebender-ish... though I may have reached that conclusion because I just spent a few hours with a tonebender.
If you're interested in a great bender at an awesome price, this is the one I've got. They run $184 shipped, and they're worth every penny. The new ones even have soft touch relay bypass. There's a polarity inverter in the circuit, so you can use it on a one spot, unlike most germanium fuzzes. And it's just a killer fuzz. I plan to do a write up on it once I've had some more time to play with it, I only just got it yesterday.

Re: Is this a Fuzz
you have a direct link for the yootoob clip?
my kindle doesnt support yootoob clips (i posted the op via desktop)
hmm..silicon, eh? indeed that album and tune have tons of stuff going on trackwise. amazingly he did it with two guitars and two amps, an echplex and a couple pedals.

Re: Is this a Fuzz
Yeah, it really does. I only got to test it at low volume last night but even there it just slays. For lack of a better word, it really just sounds extremely "rich." In harmonic content, saturation, and as stupid as it may sound, even in the general feel. And that was just with my D'avanzo. I can't wait to try it with my WLH-loaded McCarty.
Honestly, you can't get a good germanium MKII bender for less than $200, and that's not even including all of the awesome features this pedal has (MK1.5 mode, fat switch, external bias control, power supply/led, being able to daisy chain it, soft touch bypass, and I think it's even wah compatible) so this is probably one of the best deals on a new pedal I've seen in a long time. There is a wait at the moment, but it's only a couple of weeks, so it's no big deal. I highly recommend this pedal, it's extremely awesome and surprisingly versatile. It should be able to get that fuzz tone you're looking for and much more. Even if it doesn't, it will sound f'n amazing. Led Zep I for days.
