Things that go FUZZ

Post by sam »

Well I finally got a BBE Free Fuzz and after a few run throughs I like it. This is a basic fuzz that certainly does the job with no frills.

I also have a Way Huge Swollen Pickle that is a great Fuzz pedal that can do a lot of things, but I always dial in less fuzz and turn up the scoop for the Swollen Pickle and get a cross between a fuzz and distortion pedal.

For a straight silicone transister fuzz the Free Fuzz may be my choice.

What is your experiece with the Free Fuzz?

If you use another fuzz pedal, tell us about it.
Cya,

I've got a BBE Windowpane I picked up a couple weeks ago. So far I'm really, really liking it. It's basically a Free Fuzz, just repackaged. It doesn't get splatty and muddy where my Fuzz God II would.

Never tried a Free Fuzz, but I've had a few Fuzz-Face type pedals in the past. The first fuzz pedal I ever got, Mojo Hand Huckleberry, is the one I use the most often. It can do splatty vintage sounds very nicely, and for me that is what fuzz is all about. I've also got a Black Arts Pharaoh in case I ever join a metal band.

Nick Greer Soul Thrust....great ragged fuzz

Hudson Stroll On....when you just gotta be a yardbird/early Zep

Hudson overdrive 850....the best muff sounding pedal made

Hartman Tommy Bolin Fuzz....crisp and clear

just my opinions!
