I actually LOVE and USE the Digitech Crossroads Clapton pedal. The trick, to me, is that I use the (mixer) out instead of the amp out (while plugged into an amp, not a mixer). I tend to use the Sunshine of Your Love Tone and am able to get a nice approximation via my Claptonized strats (partscasters with the EC midboost kit). It is definitely something you need to spend time tweaking and arranging on your board. But, I have been able, to my ears, to get a nice tone and much use out of it. I've found some on Guitar Center's website and considered getting another one so I can use it in tandem and use it for the Badge (rotary speaker) sound while keeping my other one set on the Sunshine of Your Love mode. I will admit, you probably need to be a Clapton diehard to find this pedal useful. To each their own I guess!
@danthedem 4 жыл бұрын
But I will mention two pedals that I loathe and won't EVER buy/buy again. 1.) Digitech Metal Factory. They had a used one at a Guitar Center I frequent. It sounded like shit and, despite endless hassling by the sales guy, I couldn't find any reason to buy this. I found ONE decent/okay tone but when I kept tweaking it, I lost that one good setting. The guy kept trying to get me to buy it, but he ended up pissing me off more than anything, and I was ready to chuck at him after 10 minutes! 2.) Ibanez TS9DX. I bought this after seeing my Guitar Teacher use one. I even found some not so bad tones, but once I put it in my pedalboard/set up, I found those tones that were pleasing became muddy and "fluffy" in the pedalboard mix. I spent hours trying to find a better place for it and ended up selling it, ironically, to my guitar teacher (after he sold his). I have since bought the 40th Anniversary TS808 (the sparkly red one) and love it! I use it with my Les Paul, which sounds great!

@TheGlowWorm 6 жыл бұрын
Well this is a completely subjective matter. Golden cello for example is meant for playing those lead lines in the style of Eric Johnson etc. so no wonder if it gets muddy with chords. IMO its wonderful sounding pedal with the right setup. A really cool mix of fuzz and distorion. And so is the fuzz factory, one of the most versatile, crazy and innovative fuzz pedals of all time WITH the right setup. It is a very hard pedal to use indeed. But as you mentioned not being fan of fuzzes I get why you're not liking these pedals.

I hav the Z-Vex Fuzz factory and with the right settings it delivers very usable sounds.

So you can get really cool fuzz sounds and some very experimental weird shit.

Just want to clarify something since you were quick on the comment and it may confuse newer Pedal heads, True Bypass isn't necessarily a good thing -it depends on the type of effect, where it sits in the signal chain and the over all pedal chain sequence of the artist and where quality buffers are located in the chain -and avoiding noisy and tone sucking buffers or using switching to keep them out of the normalized chain. A pedal board of all true bypass pedals will be have a host of tone thieves to contend with -you don't want all true bypass pedals in most scenarios -so it's not really an argument of this pedals good because it has true bypass or not -it's case by case

99.9% of the time it's the guitarist and not the pedal. I spent years with bad tone. Even with acoustic guitars that sounded horrible. Then I sat down and started studying effects. Trouble shooting, Night after night video after video. I can get the amp sounding great but now recording it is another hurdle. My worst pedal .. boss metal zone maybe one sweet spot for guitar. Made any tube amp sound like solid state hell. Probably because the volume gain on it was so loud you could probably hear it with a pair of headphones connected to it.

Woah... I love my metal muff... I don't ever bring the top boost over 9 o clock. It does sound like ass over that 9 o clock point I will agree. It has an active EQ which gives you a lot of tweakability. It was my first real distortion pedal and I still have it. Putting a tube screamer in front of it also helps. It won't be replacing my 6505+ or 3120 anytime soon. But it was a bargan at 50$ to get my metal on. I still have ancient vids of me on my channel getting decent tones out of it. I heard it was based off the metal zone (I could be wrong) which is another pedal that gets a lot of beatings online. I would also argue that the MXR fullbore metal is far worse than the metal muff. Give one of those a shot if you want a good laugh. Love the vid btw. Hope I don't come across as a bitchy internet troll.

Have to disagree with you on the Metal Muff. I love mine. I’ve had to fiddle with the settings, changing a little with what guitar I’m using (usually Fenders). I’ve learned you have to dial it back, particularly the boost setting, but it has worked for me. Again, it’s generally working with a Fender Mustang or Tele and to a crappy amp. I’ll say this- when I’ve run it into a Marshall, I needed to adjust the amp settings, and the pedal settings, which is a pain but doable. I think it can hang with my classic Big Muff, and is much better than other distortion pedals I’ve had (the DOD Grunge, BOSS Metal Zone).

The Metal Zone is a better pedal than people think. There’s the camp that loves it in the effects loop, but I use it on my regular board, and can get some decent sounds out of it, especially stacked with an OD or a Muff. Right now I have it set to where the distortion dial is almost all the way down. I pair it with my TC Tube Pilot (a poor man’s Tube Driver, with no EQ), and I get a tone that’s similar to the one found on the middle solo of “Money” live from the “PULSE” album. Speaking of that album, using the same settings, paired with my old Sovtek Big Muff, and I get that awesome guitar tone you hear on “Sorrow”. It just takes quite a bit of patience to dial that thing in, and it’s one of those pedals that, depending on your amp, your guitar and pickups, might not ever work well. I’ve found that with some other really good pedals- even the Big Muff and Boss DS-1 sometimes just go better with some amps better than others.

If you're someone that isn't into gated fuzz and oddball fuzzes, i can see not liking Fuzz Factory. I'm not a huge fuzz fan. I use a fuzz face, but i use that more of less to get that Eric Johnson glassy, sparkling clean by keeping the FF on and rolling my guitar volume back to clean it up.* I use an old triangle muff too, but i use that exclusively with an EQ or TS808 into the front of it as a lead tone for my Strat. It sounds nothing like a Big Muff (or any fuzz for that matter) the way i use it. I'm not into the sputtering and spitting fuzz thing, but a lot of people do. *I can't use the Fuzz Face this way since i dropped a set of Fishman Fluence single coil into my Strat. If you use a buffered signal into a fuzz face and roll the guitar volume back, it cleans up more gradually like an amp or OD pedal. Id wager the majority of players would prefer that, I'm just not one of them.

I personally have to disagree with the Metal Muff on the list. Although the fuzz element in its tone may not appeal to everyone, but the gain and the EQ overall is nicely controllable. It has a nice amount of mids. I must albeit admit that the top boost is voer-sensitive, and definitely not the best boost for solos, but I find it good fora dding upper mids if dialed in correctly in moderation.

I can’t speak for everybody else on KZfaq, but I enjoy doing “Best of” videos because they’re fun and easy to do, and people do enjoy watching them, so it makes it easier for viewers to want to engage with me as a creator. I did this video partially because I thought it would be kind of funny, and partially because like you said there’s not too many videos like this one out there. And I believe in just shooting straight from time to time. Thanks again for the kind words!

@Rob_B_93 6 жыл бұрын
A couple points. I know this list is subjective, because there are some popular pedals that I don't think sound very good also, but the metal muff sounds good when you turn the top boost under 9 o clock. For the fuzz factory, you have to turn the stab all of the way up and use the gate and compressor to get rid of those squeals. It's a difficult pedal to figure out how to use, but once you spend some good amount of time with it I think you'll find that it can get some of the best fuzz tones...however, it does kind of stink that if you turn a knob a little bit off of where you want it, it can mess up your whole sound.
@ryndanriley5348 6 жыл бұрын
SA2BRK1993 couldn't agree more about the fuzz factory. It's kind of easy to get rid of the squeals, though, so I'm not sure why he couldn't. Definitely not a user friendly pedal, but once you find your tone it's just about the best fuzz on the market.

Robert.... totally agree on the Golden Cello. I acquired one, and boy was I disappointed. I think everyone thought they would be getting an EJ type tone with it. And with mine, the volume was ridiculous. Even @ 9 o clock, way too loud. I adjusted the trim pots and everything. I even emailed my professor, and he said he's never heard of such a thing, and I think basically wanted me to send it back so he can look at it. I traded it in towards a Tumnus. No regrets.

I’m into old style distortion like the MXR distortion plus, and for all the crap it gets the Smashbox is an excellent pedal, with most of my distortion pedals they’re just turned up all the way so the knobs don’t really mean anything to me, but that pedal I actually get some use out of them, I’ve got the regular big muff,, the old one, and it’s a unique sound, and I think that’s the problem and the benefit with a lot of these, unless you’re in a cover band and want to sound exactly like someone else’s rig you want to make your own sound, so one persons crap is another ones gold.

What a friendly comment section. Funny thing about Danelectro... I had a FabTone distortion pedal. Ordered it before I heard it. Since it was called a FabTone, and had tail fins, I thought it would be a nice vintage OD kind of pedal. It was like a freight train of gain stages. Only usable for the heaviest tones, but actually pretty good in that regard. Always thought it might have caught on if they called it something heavy metal. Like Black Licorice LMAO...

I own & use a Fuzz Factory on a regular basis. The harmonic squeal you talk about is pretty easily dialed out if you don’t want it (I don’t use it myself) & there are tons of useable tones on tap if you’re willing to twiddle some knobs. That being said I’ll admit it’s not for everyone, you really need to have a love of raw, nasty fuzz sounds to get off on it. I’ve also owned 3 different FF’s & found them all to sound slightly different; one was noticeably wilder & more chaotic than the others while another played better with buffers.

I think pedals being good or bad is subjective and I agree with your review on some of the pedals but certainly not the Zvex and mooer. I have never really been a fan of the fuzz except using it on the bass but over the last few years it has crept into my pedal board and I like the zvex and again it's not a sound for everyone. I think hands down the worst pedal to ever be made was the BOSS metal zone, I despise this pedal and never understood why anyone used it but then again it was a sound that my ears hated, I have never been a fan of super high gain distortion anyway, my sound is what everyone has termed transparent OD and that's a sound my ears like and you are absolutely right about Danelectro, the black licorice sucks but aside from that I'd use Danelectro pedals anytime, especially their pride of Texas pedal.

Well, I have a Zvex Fuzz Factory and I gotta say; it's a wild horse, very hard to tame. I think I wouldn't use it live cuz it can give you a lot of surprises but it can be very handful in recordings and it's a nice tool to anyone who likes to make some experimentation like me. I was even able to use it as a very good noise gate once!!! I took a picture of the knob positions but unfortunately I lost it, I was able to use two overdrive pedals (one as a boost) to create a heavy distortion without getting noisy or lose signal. It's really a box of surprises, if you don't wanna have one and work too much to get your sound done stay away from it, if you like to dig something crazy and different, go for it. As for me; I don't plan to get rid of it so soon. =)
