10 Ways To Make Fuzz Pedals Work For You - That Pedal Show
Рет қаралды 305,286
Күн бұрынDo you struggle to get usable sounds from fuzz pedals? Fear not - we take you through 10 things to try in order to find fun and inspiration from fuzz!
Life too short for long KZfaq videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
A warm welcome to you, sonic voyagers! This fine day we are minded to ask: is there a guitar effect more divisive than fuzz? That beautiful behemoth onslaught of savage square wave so beloved of noisemongers since the mid-1960s… or is it the wanton wrecking of all that is magnificent and majestic on our sacred six-string?
Whatever your position, we hope this video will offer some ideas with which you can go forth and fuzzify.
Enjoy the episode!

I don’t understand how so many folks think the Germanium FF cleans better, and has warmer gain, at least compared with the JHF1 BC108. I tried many different Fuzz Faces, and I still haven’t found one that cleans so well, and has the awesome full gain tone. Even Analogman’s BC108’s are different. Closest one I’ve found, that also is more diverse, with its bass and treble control, is the Deep Trip BOG. It can get very loud, and has a bias so a Germsnium tone can be dialed in, with more or less gain. It cleans up pretty well, but still not like the JHF1.

I'm just throwing that out there for people chasing Pumpkins tones, since it's the same circuit but with far more features than any of the other options.

Beginning at roughly 20 minutes in a program on Fuzz Pedals, we hear some of the most melodic and inspiring clean tones I've ever heard. So moving. If it's that way here in the distant inter-web, it's easy to understand Dan being so moved in person. It's under Thing 5, Fallin Love With Your Guitar Volume Control. Thanks, guys. Fantastic episode. And would be great to have Josh on and go on a Tone Bender.

@noisecode5867 4 жыл бұрын
Would love to see a show with some lesser known/underused fuzz techniques. For example two of my favorites are turning a fuzzface into a gated fuzz by putting a buffer and or boost in front of it and turn any fuzz into an octave fuzz by putting an eq before it. I set a GE7 with all the bands all the way down, boost 400 hz all the way, boost the the volume all the way and roll my tone off, and viola, any fuzz can be a vocaly octave fuzz. I am sure there are many more under explored techniques we as a community could both contribute and benefit from.

I love this. Fuzz is so central to my tone and figuring out how it plays with others is half the fun. My gain chain is treble booster->synth fuzz(earthquaker data corrupter)->OD->walrus jupiter fuzz->OD/lead boost. The data corrupter is so wild but its crazy how much having the jupiter fuzz on after it tames it! I run the jupiter fairly dark and use it for wall of sound stuff. Fun vid gents. More fuzz is always good!

25 years ago my first pedal was an old Colorsound Supa Tone Bender, that my father gave me as a "distortion" pedal. It was noisy, undefined, thick. Did not cut through the mix. When I got the money for a multi fx, I didn`t look backwards and just recently I became fondly with fuzzes, because now I know what they`re supposed to do and know they`re not distortion pedals...
@Craig_Fussell 4 жыл бұрын
Great video guys!! Thanks for all the in-depth discussion about the options! I love messing around with fuzz pedals. I think the reason some folks don’t like them is that you have to take time to experiment dial in the sounds you like. And when you add in other factors like stacking with other pedals, amp settings, etc. it takes even MORE time! Patience is key, but man when you hit on THE sound or sounds you like, it’s awesome fun!! For example, after hours of goofing around, I found that for lead playing, usually prefer the signal to go guitar>fuzz>light OD>clean amp because the OD takes a little of the scoop out but leaves a lot of the “fuzziness.” Funny to see Mick likes that as well! Or...if I want to get crazy, stack a couple of fuzz pedals...a fuzz/octave with a light setting into another fuzz and hold on tight LOL!!✌🏻🎸🎼

True, but there can be an issue trying to "sit in the mix" with a fuzz. It's easy to simply disappear when you stomp the fuzz if you're playing with other musicians. It might not be an unpleasant sound when you play alone, but then it's unusable in a band setting.

I can't wait till the octave fuzz pedal show comes out! Hell yes.🤘 When you do though, PLEASE grab a JDM Pedals - Humdinger and show it off. I think it's my favorite fuzz.. It's like a Tonebender mkII w/an octave up option, similar to the Fulltone Ultimate Octave. Great sounding, reasonably priced, hand-made, boutique pedal - from Germany. I also have his Union Fuzz pedal which I also like a lot. Cheers, fellas! 🍻

Love the fuzz. More fuzz. My favorite example of a fuzz-based album is "Superfuzz Bigmuff" by Mudhoney, one of the first proper grunge records and absolutely holds up to this day.

Just want to say again ...I LOVE MY ANALOGMAN SUNFACE SO MUCH!!! I got one after watching you guys’ episodes featuring them and it did take me a couple of weeks to get my head around how to play to it, but now I never want to be without it on my board. And Mick, yeah I often run it into a Klon type pedal. It sounds great dimed, but it also sounds really cool when you roll back the fuzz and volume and then play with the volume and gain on the Klone. When you guys did Chris Buck’s pedalboard build, he talked about using an overdrive to smooth out the aggressiveness of the fuzz and got a killer tone that way.

Hi Mick, Malcolm here. Reelin’ in the Years was recorded ( according to Elliott - honk) hot rod Strat direct into an Ampeg SVT ( yup, a bass amp) onto tape. Mics not remembered, must be out there somewhere. Any effects - overdrive etc. - were put on tape to tape ( reamping?) I’m sure some of your viewers can ferret out the accuracy of equipment. Great show, I should tune in more often 😉

What a great episode. TPS at its best. It inspires to play afterwards, you learn something you not have tried befiore ( for me this time fuzz in klon clone, fuzz face at 10 and back it up until it stops sounding like frying bacon :-). amazing tones.and cool playing. And all with Dan and Mick in a relaxed conversation. Guitar mags for decades were not able to transport that kind of edutainment.

I particularly like this comment. I was sad when I realised we couldn’t compete in guitar mag print land. So I gave up the editorship of the best mag on the planet and started a KZfaq channel. Everyone thought I was insane. Ha!

That was some outstanding playing and tone in the intro. Love fuzz but being an aficionado of doomy/sludgy metal kinda makes it a given. Fuzz with some really wet reverb can produce some glorious sounds.

Hey there my two favorite fellas 'cross the pond! For me,........I have neither tried a vibe,roto vibe,or a fuzz since i started playing(many years). However, I truly hear some splendid tones on occasion while certain players coax them out of a given set up. Mick........you just did. I love these tones and may just dive down into the "rabbit hole". Thx dudes as always.

The classic fuzz that current generation ignores is the Jordan Bosstone. Pedal Steel players still love it.

I have a Boss tone variant. Gooby ‘Bag of D***s’ fuzz is based on the Boss Tone. It’s a great pedal but it’s very, very, loud and can be hard to dial in. Very aggressive sounding.

I think the satisfaction pedal from ehx is a clone of the bosstone, 30bucks on the 2ndhand market to try it out

Chris Mahoney builds an accurate Bosstone. Voodoo Labs claimed to build a Bosstone but I never thought it sounded like one. The impedance levels on pedal steel pickups can be ridiculous. It can be difficult finding dirt boxes that work well with steel. The original idea was that fuzz provided a strings effect for steel.

Think John Squire used to use a silicon fuzz face into a TS9 through a Silverface Twin Reverb and that might just be my favourite guitar sound of all time.
