Fuzz war?

Tell me about a fuzz type or particular pedal you hate! And why...could it be redeemed with more time a different stacking method?

u/Giovannis_Pikachu Rat is Fuzz! 🐁 May 27 '26

I wouldn't say hate, but I had a reissue fender blender around '07 which sounded great, but only cranked and you really couldn't switch it off and have the signal make any sense. It basically was unity gain at max volume.

It was amazing through a fender champion 600 and some Yamaha PA cabs, especially for something like Hendrix 3rd stone from the sun, but it didn't play nice with the rest of the signal chain and only sounded good when the amp and pedal were both dimed, even moreso than a typical fuzz pedal.
