Best Fuzz under 120 dollars/euros

PORbass · #1 09-10-2011, 07:12 AM

Hi, my parents said that they are going to offer me a pedal, but now i'm a little short on money, so I need your help to recommend me a good fuzz under 120 dollars/euros.

Please help.

120 euros is a lot more than 120 dollars. For $150 there is a cool fuzz called the Barnacle. Check it out on bassfuzz.com. Other than that, check the classifieds Used is how to get bang for your buck. I am sure you can get muffs or something else in that price range.

do you guys think the bass big muff would be a good fuzz to have? i would replace it in maybe 3 years by something like a b:assmaster or a woolly mammoth

No. You shouldn't get something if you are already planning on replacing it. Much better to get what you really want the first time.

Way Huge Swollen Pickle would be on my list.

EH Bass Big Muff is your best bet.
It's inexpensive, it sounds great and it come very, very close to pedals which are two to three time the price.
It's a fantastic introduction to the world of fuzz. If you have a limited budget and can't have 3 or 4 different fuzz pedals, that the one to buy.
Alternatively a Way Huge Swollen Pickle but you're already venturing in a sub set of fuzz tone.

I would stay away from expensive boutique pedals. They are great but they require a larger budget and you have to have an idea of the specific fuzz tone you're searching for.

Gets my vote. VERY versatile! I miss mine and is on my list to be returned to my board.

+1 for Fender Sub-Lime.
Unless the size is a deal breaker for you, the pedal has a lot of tasty fuzz tones.

i honestly didn't know that the sub lime existed until now

eyeballkid · #14 09-12-2011, 05:16 PM

if ya search on youtube for it, there are a few demos I did... Im a fuzz junkie, and it has stayed on my pedalboard despite taking up the space of two pedals...

First timer on fuzz? Way Huge Swollen Pickle, the swiss army knife of FUZZ...

Black russian big muff... I love mine

ximaipa · #17 09-12-2011, 05:53 PM

Can't go wrong with the Fender Sublime ... definitely cool.

bigchiefbc · #18 09-12-2011, 06:21 PM

Don't be afraid to go boutique. You can get some great things for 125 bucks. Just as an example, check out Fuzzhugger's Algal Bloom, which is under 125. Tom is an amazingly cool guy, and his pedals have this huge and harmonically rich tone.
