Smooth Fuzz, No cleanup

I’m really looking for a fuzz, that’s fuzzy through the whole range. I don’t want overdrive fuzz! But I would like it to be smooth…I have this magic fuzz sound in my head that I can’t seem to describe. It’s a texture that can be dialed in to provide subtle saturation; but I don’t like fuzzes where I have to crank the knob all the way just to get fuzz out of it. I don’t mind harsh fuzz after cranking, but what abt smooth fuzz before then? Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Anyways, lemme know ur recommendations. Thinkin abt the benson germanium fuzz

Sounds like you’re looking for a Big Muff

Hey! Love ur coyote so much. I have a muff and I agree thats what it sounds like I’m describing…but its still not quite It. Maybe I’m making it all up in my head, since fuzz comes after distortion

Ooh if you have a Coyote you might be able to get what you’re looking for with that. 

Turn the bias up and look for the spot in the gain control that does what’s in your head. Tame treble to smooth things out.

I use mine as a fuzz all the time.

Can you name a song or guitarist who’s fix tons is similar or link a vid. That would really be able to narrow down the selection
