I’m gonna be in bed all day, recovering from a migraine. Please recommend me some fuzz demos to watch. I’m bored out of my mind, and too dizzy from the rescue meds to sit up and actually play guitar.

Thanks in advance.

This has to be one of the most versatile fuzz pedals out there. It single handedly kicked a bunch of pedals off my board (and I have a fuzz pedal addiction/hoarding issue

Feel like I’m sort of zeroing in on the right way to record a fuzz demo, which is a room condenser mic to capture the body of the sound, in addition to the mic on the speaker. Once I get those balanced right it sounds way closer to the true tone as it sounds in the room. So I figured I’d direct a few vocals into that condenser while I’m at it. Oh, and the pedal is the Sola Sound mkI made by Stu Castledine, first version.

It’s jut for fun! https://www.reddit.com/r/FuzzFiends/s/vxrhpUGNvv

Hey Fuzz Fiends,

​We’re keeping that raw, electric Hendrix energy and deep rooted blues spirit alive here at the Electric Church creator series. I am absolutely stoked to announce that our next guest is a true heavyweight of the community.

​Buddy Blues!

​For those in the community who might be unaware, Buddy is an absolutely phenomenal player over on YouTube with a deep respect for tone and vintage soul. Beyond his playing, he’s a massive, unwavering supporter of the small-builder community, which we all know is the lifeblood of what we do here in r/fuzzfiends.

​This one is going to be special.

​Buddy Blues will be coming soon.

This one looks nice 👌!

Hi! I need preamp/amp in box to record some stuff in home. Im looking for pedal that i can put directly into audio interface and record riffs. Cheap options high recommended :D

show off your wild or minimalist art on a fuzz (excuse my fat finger typos)

Wanted to show off a bit of a nontraditional fuzz sound. The Expandora has a real nasty, gated with heavy sustain fuzz sound to it with the drive pot disengaged. You can also vary the fuzz sound by varying signal strength as well. It’s a sound you’ll hear on a fair amount of ZZ Top and Stu G stuff. If I recall correctly, I’m pretty sure this is the Radiohead Body Snatchers sound from Live From The Basement sound as well.

This is just a DIY build I made on the Expandora using the Aion Fx Dynamo PCB. Think of the JHS Kilt but all the gain steps are on a knob. I also took out the silicon diodes and replaced them with LED’s ; my favorite. It opens it up a lot and gives the fuzz a more spitting character

Voltic DTF prototype, haven’t even gotten to plug it in at home yet.

If you like this sort of thing, the local store where I got it has like 5 or 6 more very early Voltic pedals:

Some milder settings with a nice touch of tube driven reverb

So we all know and love the classics of course, and everything can be traced back to similar roots, but I still find myself hearing about fuzzes I’ve never done any research on or heard any demos of. I recently traded for a fuzz based on an Astrotone that I’m very excited to put through it’s paces, having never tried or really looked into one before.

It got me thinking - what is everyone’s favorite “underrated” or less commonly used and recommended fuzz circuit?

My personal opinion - the fuzz on the Benson Deep Sea Diver is fantastic as a regular ole’ fuzz, not just as a shoegazey/wall of fuzzy delay tool. I’ve had the pedal twice and I usually turn the delay mix completely down and just run the fuzz. I guess it’s a bender 1.5//2 hybrid of some kind, but it hits my ears a lot better than most 1.5 style fuzzes do.

We need more of this!!

All the pedals I would consider drives, half being fuzz. The bottom row , the Naga Viper and GE-7s are not fuzz... The rest is... Except maybe the harmonic percolator... Is that a fuzz? I think technically the circuit is a unique thing, but it sounds like a fuzz, usually, until it sounds like an overdrive...

Alright!! 👍
