Sparkle Drive vs. Tweak Fuzz

[Guitar Toad]

Same effect in different boxes?

Re: Sparkle Drive vs. Tweak Fuzz

not at all
the Sparkle drive is a flavor of tubescreamer

the Tweak Fuzz is a smooth silicon fuzz, but with some less buzzy settings available

Would a wanna-be dirty blues player would be better off with the Tweak Fuzz?

Todd, I don't have any experience with the Tweakfuzz, but I do have a Spina modded Sparkledrive. The sparkledrive is the same circuit as a TS-808 with higher quality components...a stock one is good and one modded by Mr. Spina is phenomenal. Great pedal for blues and the clean control lets the amp tone shine through.....Joe

A real blues player wouldn't use any kind of fuzz...tweaked or otherwise. :laugh2:

A TS-9 or DS-1 or some kind of overdrive like the Duncan Pickup Booster? Sure!

I REAL bluesman wouldn't even be able to afford a pedal to play blues on...

Re: Sparkle Drive vs. Tweak Fuzz

I admit I'm not giggin', but if I were, I'd definitely use an OD, and tubescreamers work for me.

fuzzes are a lot of fun, though, and the whole point of the Tweak Fuzz to me, is that it's a fuzz with several usable settings.

ain't nuthin' wrong with a little psychedelic blues every now and then
