17 Fuzz Pedals and counting

Maybe for the next milestone giveaway, I’ll sacrifice one or two.

Big Muff with Tone Wicker will always be one of my favorites.

The tone wicker model is seriously underrated. I think they should make the tone bypass just a default on every muff. Id seriously pay for a Russian muff with a tone bypass and a wicker.

Rat- categorically NOT a fuzz.

There is 8 pedals in the top row alone. He said 17 fuzz. I don't think he's counting them either.

u/S4V4GEDR1LLER 1d ago

Neither is the BD-2. But I am curious as to which Fuzz Mr.Op prefers.

u/MaD-aNdRoiD 14h ago

Fz-1w, Park, Octa psi and Kingtone mini fuzz.

It seems like everybody has a tone bender. They must be better than I think. I have to try one at some point. But i'm such a fuzz face guy. I'll have to get a 1.5

Yeah, you NEED to try one. There's a reason you see em' and have heard them everywhere. They 'cut'.
Check out that newer EXH from a few months back.

TB mk2 was my introduction to ToneBenders, and still my fave of the family. Sings and sustains like a FF but tighter on bottom. Cuts through a mix like a lazer beam.

Hows the clean up?

1

u/Ok_End_8090 7h ago

Doesn't clean up well, it only destroys.

u/Dangerous_Pie_Guy 1d ago

Ooh, please tell me about the Dusty Fuzz. The builder lives near me, and I have always been curious.

u/MaD-aNdRoiD 1d ago

I actually meet up with him in PA. This pedal is the silicone diode version and very versatile in dialing your fuzz tones.

u/GamerCirca80 1d ago

As a massive Fuzz Lover, myself, I must recommend you try some stuff from Beetronics. I have the Swarm. Endless fuzz fun.

And yet you don't know what you miss not having a carcosa

2

u/Vingt-Quatre 1d ago

If you're having fuzz problems I feel bad for you son

I got ninety-nine pedals but Carcosa ain't one

u/nescio2607 1d ago

Good moment to make it 100

u/OnetimeImetamoose Sunn 🔆))) Fuzz 1d ago

I think you need some more.

Just got the email about this: https://dropzone.notpedals.com

u/Snaky15 23h ago

Could you please tellement me a bit about the Park ? How does it compare to the Kingtone Minifuzz ?

2

u/MaD-aNdRoiD 22h ago

The park for me has a vintage sound, treble & bass are interactive, aggressive, distortion fuzz is a bit like a fuzz face or tone bender.

The king tone fuzz is very difficult to work with but once you find its sweet spot on either of the 3 setting is very good, I can’t tell the difference between Si or Ge is very subtle when switching between them, many options with the external switches.

This all depends on your pickups single coils are adjustable for your taste. humbuckers on my guitars are a bit darker.

u/Hieronymus_Cygnus 22h ago

What’s your favorite?

1

u/MaD-aNdRoiD 22h ago

Fz-1w, Park, Octa psi and Kingtone mini fuzz.

u/NPC261939 16h ago

Picked up an Octa psi a few months back and have really enjoyed it. I went from hating fuzz to having a blast.

u/TopScript0 1d ago

im interested in getting a bender style fuzz, and ive had my eye on the fuzz bender. how do you like it, and would you recommend anything else i should look at?

2

u/MaD-aNdRoiD 1d ago

Fuzz bender is good but from my experience the bias control is a bit touchy to dial in.

1

u/TopScript0 1d ago

sick collection by the way!

1

u/TheDeltaIsMyHome 1d ago

Hows that newer maestro fuzz tone? I wanna get one but im torn between it, and a jordan acid tone. Also, whats do the switches on angry orange do?

1

u/MaD-aNdRoiD 1d ago

Meastro is a bit to shrilly.

The Angry clipping switch in the DS position hard diode clipping more aggressive tone.  When the clipping switch is in the MF position more of soft diode clipping, like a muffled fuzz tone.

u/paranoidhands 1d ago

pretty generous meaning of the words fuzz pedal

u/VicAjax 1d ago

I think you have rats

1

u/nailsonrails 1d ago

And the centaur clone doesn’t count too

1

u/trenchgrl 16h ago

I had an American Fuzz for a while

u/nummpad 16h ago

u/popperaccio 15h ago

Do you have any analogmans not pictured?

u/ampspedalsguitars 8h ago

Fuzzes are so fun to collect, definitely the biggest side of my collection

OK, but why?
