Where's all my fuzz freaks at? When it comes to effects pedals, my all time favorite variety is the fuzz pedal. I find noise that utilizes lots of fuzz to be some of my favorite noise. I much prefer the noises you can get from using fuzz pedals than any sort of distortion or overdrive. So what's your favorite pedal? What noise artists do you believe utilize fuzz well? Do you prefer fuzz, distortion, or overdrive? What kind of fuzz do you like the most? Do you get it on the germanium versus silicon debate? What are some fuzz pedals that you would love to own that you don't already? That's just a few questions for this thread. If you can, please post a pic of your fuzz collection or your favorite fuzz pedal.
Since I don't know if the picture I inserted is going to post, here is a list of my fuzz collection:
Black Russian Big Muff, Green Russian Big Muff Reissue, JHS 3 Series Fuzz, Teisco Octave Fuzz, Keeley Fuzz Bender, Behringer Super Fuzz, DOD Classic Fuzz, Death By Audio Absolute Destruction.
And yes I consider the Big Muff a fuzz- idk how you couldn't. I find it funny when pedal companies call their fuzz pedals distortion, as as in the case of the Muff, as well as the Absolute Destruction by Death by Audio. Out of all the fuzzes in my collection, the Absolute Destruction is easily the gnarliest in terms of how it obliterates sound but it can be hard to work with, and at times a one trick pony when using it for noise. Death by Audio makes some really crazy pedals, and i hope to own a couple more of theirs' in the near future. If you asked me what was my favorite pedal off the top of my head I would probably tell you the Big Muff. I'm absolutely obsessed with the Muff in all its versions. As well as making harsh noise, i also play bass guitar so of course I gravitate most to the Green and Black Russians because they have the most low end out of all the Muffs. I sold my Op-Amp Reissue Muff a few months back which I regret so II'll be buying a replacement soon, as well as the Ram's Head Reissue. The fairly recent reissues sound great but I would love to one day own an original Green Russian Muff for its aesthetic value.
My favorite out of my current collection is probably either the Keeley Fuzz Bender or the JHS Fuzz because I LOVE the sputtery glitchy type fuzz noise. JHS puts out alot of great fuzz pedals. I want to own a few of the ones they put out in their Legends of Fuzz, such as the Supreme, and the Bender. But yeah... fuzz pedals... whaddya think?
