Turdus Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Everybody has their opinion on what the best overdrive is. I have that covered. Looking for a fuzz box to kick on for small lead breaks. Would like to keep the price under $150.Some I've thought about:Big MuffVoodoo SuperfuzzFulltone 69, 70, and SoulbenderWhat else is worth taking a look at, in my price range?
madhatter Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 www.pedalworx.com Its a great germanium/silicon hybrid fuzz.
pesocaster Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 If you can find an Ibanez Tk-999 ... they are killer ...
Monacosis Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 3 different fuzz flavors: ZVex Fuzz Factory. Spendy and not the most user-friendly, but very versatile and capable of of some truly outrageous sounds.PE Experience. Cool octave fuzz plus a nice fuzz face imitation.Big Muff (get an old one) or DOD Classic Fuzz (sleeper pedal - very similar to the BM).As you can tell, I love the appropriately placed rude fuzz tone.mike
custom53 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Try some old school stuff... Just a couple of ideas... Sometimes they are a bit noisey, but you know they work... Foxx Tone Machine (If you can find one) Ibanez PUE5
elduave Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Chris-It 'aint boutique or anything but I use the Marshall Bluesbreaker. Works as either a boost or overdrive. The thing I like most about it is that when you kick it on, you are *heard*. I use it in boost mode on my TSL601 loop.
El Kabong Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 The McFuzz is a great choice. I have played with most of the boutique fuzzes that are out today. Here are some of my favorites:The wildest fuzz company with many products in your price range is Effector 13:http://www.effector13.com/_________________________________________________________________The following are out the the price range you specified, but are worth checking. The wildest Big Muff is the MJM Foxey Fuzz:http://www.mjmguitarfx.com/mjm_foxey_fuzz.htmlThe most musical Big Muff is the Frantone Peachfuzz:http://www.vintageguitar.com/gear/details.asp?ID=106The finest germanium Fuzz face is the Jacques Ltd. hand made Wercer Box:http://www.ts808.com/ (search the site)Pro Analog Scary Face (a little pricey):http://www.proanalog.com/Skreddy Zero:http://skreddypedals.com/skreddy_pedals_zero.htm
Brownsound Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Well...if you read the reviews and try one you might have to agree. The Jekyl & Hyde unit is the shiz. I have one and Its great...and you can combine overdrive with distortion or use them independently. Street price is about $114
Samuello Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Foxx Tone Machine (If you can find one) Foxx is actually re-issuing Tone Machine, that should help the search My suggestion, however, is Keeley's Fuzz Head. IMHO you can't go wrong with this unit. A used one should fit your budget!
