Robert Sledge played pickstyle through an SVT with Marshall 4x12s and his fuzz was a Russian Muff. That's what that clip sounds like to me. Great sound. |

But Jared Reynolds (who is playing on that clip and Ben Folds solo stuff) may have different gear. But at least on Army it sounded exactly like Sledge's tone on "The Unathorized Biography of Reinhold Messner" so it's a safe bet it's a green Russian Muff through a tube amp. |

I'm just going based on tone. And I LOVED Robert Sledge's sound on the Ben Folds Five albums. |

Everything I saw from the tours supporting Songs For Silverman (Jared's first with Ben) had him with the Green Muff, and when I saw them supporting Way to Normal earlier this year it was the same deal. But I've seen live shots with the black Sovtek and studio shots/footage with the NYC. Regardless, it always sounds good.

I just moved to Denver, and strangely Ben Folds gets no love here.
