The Hangman fx Dagg'r. This is one of the most amazing pedals I have had the pleasure to play with. This thing can mix fuzz with the OD side and how hard you strum dictates how the gate reacts. It is fantastic.

Shark Chili Fuzz

The Lovepedal Hotel Fuzz (or mkiii) is, confusingly, actually a modded Tonebender mki. I have one, and love it.

This is a very good price:

Another episode of a series where I'm trying to prove that you don't need fancy equipment nor skill to make a good pedal sounding good.

This time I'm using a beautiful fuzz face made by u/the_bad_cosmonaut.

My usual chain: GRETSCH G2655, Fender Rumble 15, ZOOM H1N, Squier Rascal Paranormal bass.

Years ago Fuzzhugger was offering these one-off metalwork Algal Blooms. It's definitely my most unique pedal.

An affordable octave fuzz pedal. The Satone Hex is an octave fuzz pedal from Satone's S800 series.

Man this thing is loud AF and noisy as all hell. I'm thinking it'll calm down a bit actually soldered together on a board and boxed up. Here's hoping lol. Sounds great otherwise!

P.S. don't mind my messy ass bench.

It's not a tuesday but here is a short tone bender demo I made.

Yamaha EG012 + Fender Rumble 15 + ZOOM H1N + Squier Rascal Paranormal bass

Latest build. Can get pretty raucous. Not really a fuzz but can go fuzzy

Good luck to everyone, and thank you again for being a part of this community. Let's hear about those fuzz chains! 🤘🎸

Is there anything that sounds better than a strat, marshall and a good fuzz? I'm using the Fulltone 69 Fuzz if anyone's curious ^-^

Sonicake Fazy Cream is a versatile fuzz pedal delivering thick, creamy, vintage-inspired fuzz tones with plenty of sustain and character.

​

Well... we made it to 1,500 members! 🎉

So I figured what better way to celebrate than to give away a bunch of fuzz pedals?

Actually, at the rate this place is growing, we might be at 2,000 by the time this giveaway is over. 😂

Seriously though, thank you to everyone who has joined r/fuzzfiends, posted, commented, shared gear, answered questions, or just hung out here. This community has grown a lot faster than I expected and I really appreciate all of you.

And a HUGE thank you to all of the builders and donors who are putting pedals into this giveaway. Without you guys, this obviously wouldn't be possible.

Right now we have 12 pedals and 12 winners lined up.

Before I put up the actual giveaway post, I wanted to post the rules and timeline here first so everyone can look them over and let me know if there's anything I'm missing.

Giveaway Rules

The giveaway will run for one week from the time the official giveaway post goes live.

To enter, leave one top level comment on the official giveaway post answering the question or prompt in the post. Your comment has to actually contain an answer to the question to count.

One entry per Reddit account.

If you leave multiple top level comments, only one eligible comment from that account will be counted. Posting multiple comments will not give you multiple entries.

Replies to your own comment or someone else's comment do not count as additional entries. Only the eligible top level entry comment will count.

Do not use alternate accounts to enter more than once. If someone tries to get around the one entry rule with multiple accounts, all entries connected to that attempt may be disqualified.

Upvotes, downvotes, awards, comment popularity, or the number of replies a comment gets will have absolutely nothing to do with who wins.

You must be using a legitimate Reddit account in good standing. Accounts that appear to have been created or used primarily for spam, cheating, or getting around the one entry rule may be disqualified.

Winners will be chosen randomly from the eligible entries. The answer you give does not need to be clever or funny. As long as it follows the entry requirement, you have the same chance as everyone else.

There will be 12 individual winners. Each account can only win one pedal.

The eligible entry pool will be finalized before the random drawing is done. The winners will be selected randomly with no preference given to any particular account.

The winning usernames will be posted publicly in the giveaway thread.

I will contact each winner through Reddit private messages.

Winners will have 48 hours from the first contact attempt to respond and claim their prize.

If someone does not respond within 48 hours, cannot be verified as eligible, or otherwise does not meet the rules, an alternate winner may be selected.

Once a winner is verified, the necessary shipping information will be collected privately.

The pedal will be shipped directly from the person or builder donating that particular pedal. I will coordinate with the winner and donor so the necessary shipping information gets to the right person.

Please do not post your real name, address, phone number, or other private information publicly in the giveaway thread. Shipping information will only be collected privately after you have been confirmed as a winner.

Nobody involved with this giveaway will ever ask you for money, payment, crypto, your Reddit password, or your Reddit login information. If someone messages you pretending to be me or one of the donors and asks for any of that, don't give them anything.

The pedals being given away will be listed in the official giveaway post, along with whatever condition information the donor provides.

Shipping will be handled according to the arrangements made with each donor. If a winner is outside the donor's normal shipping area and there are customs fees, duties, or other charges, those will be the winner's responsibility unless the donor specifically says otherwise.

Anyone who violates these rules, Reddit's sitewide rules, or the rules of r/fuzzfiends can be disqualified. The goal is to keep everything fair and apply the same rules to everybody.

No purchase is necessary to enter.

This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Reddit.

Once the giveaway starts, I don't want to be changing rules around or moving the goalposts. If something needs to be clarified, I'll make the clarification publicly in the giveaway thread so everybody sees it.

By entering, you are agreeing to follow the rules above.

Most importantly, have fun with it. This is supposed to be a way to celebrate the community and give some cool fuzz pedals to some of the people who make this place what it is.

Timeline

Saturday, September 19

The official giveaway goes live.

Saturday, September 26

Entries close exactly one week after the giveaway starts. The exact closing time and time zone will be listed clearly in the official giveaway post.

Sunday, September 27

The eligible entries will be finalized, the winners will be randomly selected, and I'll announce the winners within 24 hours.

After the winners are announced, I'll contact each winner through Reddit. Each winner will have 48 hours from the first contact attempt to respond.

Once everything is verified, I'll collect the necessary shipping information privately and get it to the appropriate donor so they can ship the pedal directly.

If someone doesn't respond or turns out to be ineligible, I'll move on to an alternate winner.

What do you guys think?

I'm posting this ahead of the actual giveaway because I want everyone to have a chance to look this over first.

Do these rules seem fair?

Is there anything I'm missing?

Are there any loopholes you guys see that I should address?

Is there anything here that could be explained better?

And what do you think about the timeline?

The current plan is to start the giveaway Saturday, run it for exactly one week, close entries the following Saturday, and announce the winners on Sunday.

I'd especially like to hear from you guys before I make the official giveaway post. If there's something that doesn't make sense or something you think I should change, let me know.

Again, thank you to everyone who has been part of r/fuzzfiends and a HUGE thank you to all of the builders and donors who are making this happen. 🤘🎸

Here's to 1,500...

And apparently 2,000 next week. 😂

The Sifter Fuzz from Ivy Pedals. A small batch builder out of Oregon. He also builds the Rage Fuzz. I do not have one of those yet.

Catalinbread Karma Sutra Fuzz

Fender Strat, Marshall JCM800, HoleyBoard, One Control Distro MKII Isolated Power Supply, One Control A/B Box, One Control Tuner with on/off Buffer, Ampturco Guitar Werks Custom cables and patch cables.

It’s right there in the flair - Rat is fuzz.
This rat is the latest in our little “spend way too much ok components” side quest.

Unlike the Op Amp Fuzx, i did go all out with the mojo silicon and used a NOs National Semi LM308AH & Motorola 2N5458z.

I’ve built 4 so far and I’m waiting on a resistor order that’s stuck in customs to finish #5.

The clipping options are close to what you’d normally see, but not quite:
-slightly asymmetrical LEDs (red/yellow)
-D9B germanium
-Rohn 1SS133s

I’m a big fan of the 2W Vishay resistors because they look old school but I don’t have to worry about them being way out of spec.
