Ryan follows up on a comment that the $300 Plasma Pedal by Game Changer Audio sounds like a $30 pedal by playing it against the $25 Behringer Super Fuzz, a plastic boxed Boss FZ-2 clone. Stay tuned as he plays out through the DOD Carcosa just for fun.

Honestly, when I first looked at the Plasma Pedal as a fuzz pedal, I thought it sounded horrible - not like a fuzz at all. But when I thought about it from a non-labelled perspective, it is actually quite a unique distortion. It really drives the idea of „broken“ guitar sound directly into a concrete wall at 200km/h. And for that I think it‘s absolutely amazing.

I just played the Plasma today when I dropped off my Flying V for a setup. It was cool on guitar, but I really think it shines on bass. I played a USA Fender Jazz bass into the Plasma into an Egnater Tweaker guitar combo. Absolutely massive sounding. It's hard to describe. It was like being enveloped in a three dimensional wave of fuzz/distortion.

I think we can agree that is sounds good. However, does it sound $300 good? That's the tough pill to swallow. If it were half that price, a lot of people would be all over that. Instead, we are happy enough to spend $30 on an FZ-2 clone. Also, I'd be worried about that plasma tube being fragile, and breaking if the pedalboard gets too jostled in transit or accidentally nudged while playing.

Kevin Chavez I try not to make commentary on prices too often because people have different budgets and different kinds of manufacturing. But the plasma has a unique custom case design and actually has a pretty unique sound. If someone really wants that sound this is where they can get it. And it looks freaking cool. It’s not like there aren’t a sea of affordable fuzzes out there too.

My hands down favorite fuzz(and the single greatest guitar pedal ever made) is the 80s big muff pi. The behringer copies the muff syle fuzz so well one could use it instead of figiting with settings onstage.i used it like that for quite a while. Currently i use one to mimic Original "super fuzz" pedals. Dime the treble, cut all the bass set the gain to just under 9 o'clock, fuzz 1. Volume is between you and your compresion circuits but i leave mine at 9 o'clock so it doesnt saturate to far. Its perfect for that brassy, trombone like, fuzz of the mid 60s. The boost is good to.its very precise, more so than my mxr micro amp. You can dial it it to your amp and get just the beginings of breaking up.add any distortion or a second booster before it and you get a creammy, thick ear popping tone.Im working on a rehouse project but surface mount jacks are a bitch.ive only ever seen a fz2 but if its half as good as this but in a boss case theyd have trouble selling the waza version until this pedal vanishes.

I followed your discussion on the first Plasma-Video. The idea to give some alternatives is not bad, but the Plasma is a one of a kind Pedal. In some Namm videos the guys of gamechanger talked about how this thing works - and its not diode-clipping and not overdriving of amplifierparts(Transistors, op-amps,etc). What comes out of this pedal is the sound that is generated by the "lightings" in the tube - i would compare it to these guys which play their guitar thru a teslacoil(sounds exactly the same for me). Maybe you can get a standard fuzzpedal with a similiar sound - but a clone for 30 quid? i dont think so. In the end its a shiny novelty thing - like the candledriven tremolo/vibrato-"pedal" by zvex.

It was not your imagination about the FZ clone. The issue with the FZ-2 is/was most of the settings only work when you demo it/play solo. It's mostly useless in a band setting. When your mids go (and a good chunk of your highs go as well), the guitar disappears into the rest of the band. Might as well be the FZ-2 Mute Pedal, at least at rock drummer band volume levels. I've not played the Plasma Pedal but it seems like it might be cutting enough to be practical. And that crazy staticy envelope sounds pretty fun!

So, i gotta say i owned the behringer and boss pedals, and the behringer actually had a wider sounding high end, which helped with clarity. I used a gate to reduce excess noise without having the broken sound. A great use of these pedals is to not use it for blues, but for metal rhythm. These are so nasty when playing lower than drop D, and it just sounds beautiful.

The Plasma fuzz definitely has more clarity. I had a chance to pick one up for a really good price from a friend of mine last year, but when checking out demo videos one thing I began to notice is that crackle is ALWAYS present, regardless of settings, after a while it got a bit tiresome, so I took a pass on the pedal. I've had the Boss FZ-2 since '95 (purchased new), and for years it was my favorite fuzz, but picked up a Carcosa in 2019, and a Keeley Fuzz Bender last year, and those are currently in the top spot. I especially like the Keeley for the range of fuzz sounds you can get out of it, and it's comparable to some contemporary high gain distortion pedals when it comes to volume. I haven't yet done a side-by-side comparison, but can easily say it's the loudest fuzz in my collection.

I love my behringer super fuzz.it dosent have the same "soul" as my old big muff. But it can do so much.currently I run it to do gated high end saxophone tone.it can mimic a big muff pretty well.some times I use it to mimic The muff on hi gain.

I own a Super fuzz berhinger and an electro- harmonix double muff. The super fuzz costs 27 euros and gives me plain satisfaction. The double- muff isn't enough fuzzy, and there is too much hum and noise to combine the 2 muff on high level. The plasma pedal seems cool but is x10 more expensive than the super fuzz.

Behringer is great value for money, perfect for a starting off musician or for anyone wanting to save money. But that Plasma pedal is insanely good, there's better clarity that cuts through while still offering that broken sound. Also you've got to love the built in noise gate!

Might wanna try a variety of pickups. Some fuzzes really shine with single coils.

Sigh, that Plasma does sound pretty good. But, for $25, the Berry is sludgy murder. Ive been trying to gather an army of cheap fuzz boxes and picked up an SF and have been very happy with it. I like all fuzz tones, but ya, that busted, scorched earth brimstone crackle is my favorite fuzz tone. Fuzz can be velvet or a wire brush, it's the most visceral of all distortions. God bless da Fuzz. Thanks for your video.

My experience with the Plasma Coil (slightly different pedal) is that it is very "all or nothing". The range of sounds it creates is very narrow. It's a great sound if that's the sound you are looking for but if it is not there's very little room to shape it on the pedal. The Carcosa on the other hand is super flexible. Going from a mild distortion to a crackling mess and everything in between. Ultimately it's a way more useful pedal. The Plasma Coil looks cool as hell though 😁 Would definitely recommend the Carcosa over the Behringer.

Plasma has more mids and high end, more pronounced tone for sure. Sf300 is close, but muffled.

I think the Fz2 need a fairly bright setup. Like a Danelectro or a strat/tele with 50's style pickups into an amp with fairly small speakers to sound the best. Nothing's wrong with the plasma though.

Damn - Sounds like everything I liked about the Plasma, can be done with the Carcosa for 1/3 (or less) the price.

I thought the fuzz 1 setting on the behringer was closer sounding to the Plasma than the fuzz 2 setting. The fuzz 1 setting sounded pretty good on the behringer, although not exactly like the plasma. Can you dial back the fuzz sound on the behringer? Doesn't really seam like you can do that on the Plasma.

you can get inbetween the fuzz 1 and fuzz 2 on the SF300 if you jiggle the switch just right, it's v fun

Which GFS pickups are they, Ryan? Is that one of their P180s in the bridge? I actually prefer the sound of the Carcosa over the Plasma too tbh.

Sweet SG! I have the SF because Josh said same price as a cup of coffee. Not much of a fuzz guy, but i like the first setting that gives some octave action up the neck. The Plasma and the Third Man Plasma are incredible.

what if i told you, that you can have more octave action and the pedal has 5 modes in total at least to my knowledge by getting the switch inbetween modes.

Honestly Ive never really liked my SF300. I thought I was gonna enjoy it, but it feels so scooped out (which i suppose is partly the point haha). And maybe a bit too harsh at the points where I enjoy the tone a bit better.

I do love my SF300 and for sound, versatility AND the price, and for $25 thought of buying a spare, just in case it breaks(it's all plastic, wounder how many stomps it will take Mr. Owl), the Plasma is amazing but is $260 more, don't see spending that for a at home Jammer like me, but you do have me considering, checking out the Carcosa
