Fuzz Box Shoot Out by Andy at
http://stompboxsonic.com/
16 Fuzz Pedals * 1 Riff
Andy used a G&L bass and a Sovtek Mig 50 w/ a Weber 18" cab
"It's so difficult to compare pedals online because each demo is recorded in a different room with a different amp, mic placement, guitar, etc. How do you tell when you're hearing a difference between pedals - not a difference between recordings? Or a difference between players? That's why we started the Stompbox Sonic pedal tasting events where people can come by and hang out, try out a bunch of pedals, and shoot the s....t with other musicains. For those who can't make it to one, we're doing a series of pedal videos which aim to take a bit of the guesswork out of those comparisons.
This one is a quick and dirty shootout of a bunch of fuzz boxes. It's not meant to be a definitive comparison. There's not any knob fiddling - just one riff with a quick on and off of each of the pedals (and a switch between modes for the two mode pedals). I find that most fuzzes have a basic character that stays pretty constant. It's colored by the knob settings, but that underlying character stays very much the same. So this video isn't meant to show off the whole range of each of the pedals. It's meant to give a sense of that basic character of a handful of different fuzz boxes all though the same amp, with same riff, same guitar and same mic setup. We hope some people find it interesting.
