Favorite fuzz pedals.

[Nubus]

I think as far as fuzz pedals go I would be just fine with spending 40 bucks on a Russian big muff. Play it, throw it around, stomp on it, spill beer on it. I can't really envision myself spending a ton on an expensive pedal for distortion.

I have a new found obsession with that old school UNIVOX superfuzz pedal that Pete Townsend used back in the seventies. Man, oh man...sounds like the way to go for me. Has anyone else used that pedal?

You know what I have, this weird old Bosstone fuzz made by either Jordan or Sho sound I dunno, but it plugs right into your guitar, doesn't sit on the floor.

The Voodoo Labs Superfuzz is essentially the pedal equivilant of that Bosstone fuzz. Both of those things are great.

It sounds like the 60s.

I have an old Sam Ash Fuzzola II from the 60's that... well... also sounds like the 60's.

Frantone The Sweet:

Holy freakin god.

This thing out-Big-Muff's the big muff. The soundclips on frantone's site are lame, but this thing sounds like a big muff with a larger frequency range for the tone, and a gain boost. I used to use an MXR dist + before my big muff to boost it over the top and get instant sustainable feedback. this does it for me.


This is a terrible quality picture, but it's to the top right of the orange Ibanez PH-9. I can't say enough good things about this.

There's a direct reissue now - modded for slighty better tone - called the "Leeds Fuzz".

You can find it on www.musictoyz.com. (& get the pdf info from the co site) I've looked @ the circuit schematic..its taken exactly from the UV Superfuzz, w some transistor subs (equivalents), & a couple of cap mods to make it a just a bit heavier. But, same sound, its a real spiky-like, staticky, hi-frequency kicker.

I forget the co's name, but, its on musictoyz.

I love the frantone fuzz pedal but it's SO retardedly expensive.
