What type of fuzz do you use?

I'm just curious as to what fuzz pedals everyone is using, and what types of tones they're getting. I've been listening to a ton of OD clips the last couple of weeks and I think I've realized a fuzz is what I really want :smack: Any advice for some mellow/non-muddy fuzz ala hendrix-bold as love?

I use a Boss ME-50 multieffects, but my favorite settings are the Fuzz Face, Blues Driver BD-2, and Metal Zone MT-2. Hope that helps.

I use a Fuzz Foot from Dave Fox
I am pretty amazed by it. Chris who used to play in Megadeth and now plays in Ohms sold it to me. He uses the Captain Cocunut, and we A/B'd them and The single pedal is a little woodier, and the Cpt Coco sounds a little more like a recording should sound, more focused, touch more compressed.

Either way, it's the most responsive and controllable fuzz with all the classic ousnds. The grit knob easily moves the tone from old Keef to Hendrix to EJ type tones while being woody and full.

Best part, Chris rubbed all the markings off, making a very rare pedal even harder to figure out on my board.

Has anyone made their own fuzz face clones? How hard would this be? It seems like this might be a good route for cost effectiveness (lots of stuff I'm gassing for :( ) and it would be easy to tweak if I make it myself.

Big Muff for dark, saturated stuff.

Boss FZ-2 for middy, nasty fuzz.
 
Re: What type of fuzz do you use?

I used to use a DOD FX52 Classisc Fuzz. It had a very "rubber-bandy" kind of sound. The Fuzz on my J-Station was much smoother so the DOD got shelved. Recently, folks on HC have been singing the praises of the DOD as a poor man's big muff. I dusted it off and it does sound better than I remember, but it takes a little EQ and compression to get it the Big Muff sound.

I use the voodoolabs superfuzz.

Its a nice subtle fuzz for a bit of colour and compression. I use it to drive a semi hollow (godin flat 5) so I cant really use huge fuzz.


Before that I had a zoom ultra fuzz, which was great, but very noodly as it was superversatile.

Actually, since im only playing in the bedroom again, i kinda wish i had the zoom pedal instead. It was cheaper too. :smack:
