Bands that use Fuzz pedals, have a fuzzcentric sound?

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm doing a little research on bands that utilize the fuzz pedal whether it be guitar, bass, keyboards, etc. What bands do you know of?

Thanks.

Robert Sledge in Ben Folds Five used a Big Muff on a lot of recordings. Scott Shriner from Weezer uses fuzz as well.
