Sign in to disble this ad
Ok. I joined a Doom metal band, with one guitarist, so I'm responsible for alot of the fuzz chord cascade thing. Right now, I lack any THICK THICK fuzz. Things I were looking at was the DE Aenima or Hyperion, or some kind of octave fuzz (I don't really want the highs, but I'm all for thickness and texture). A while ago somone mentioned the Big Muff to me, but when I tried it out (briefly) it sounded thin (to me), maybe I need more time with it?
Basically I'm looking for the thickest, sludgey, harmonically complex fuzz evar, but don't really know where to begin. Help?
Thankee.

And, It's entirely possible I just suck with Muff-ing (or like I didn't mess with it enough at the time...I think I just went all knobs all the way up  )

edit: if you turned all the knobs way up, you definitely experience the wrong end of the tone know for doom. |

But seriously, it can get a little crazy at high gains, and the bass will drop out. But at lower gain, you really cant find a better octavey doom fuzz. ESPECIALLY for the price.

PS devi's new cherry pop pedal sounds like a beast, look forward to its release. |

I've found a lot of harder and extream fuzz pedals to be lacking in the low end and definition department. You may want to look into getting something with a clean blend to bring in some more definition. But really your best bet for that super saturated Doom sound is a tube head cranked.
Ohh yeah, wear ear plugs because doom is like the loudest music ever.
Peace

I have 5 DE pedals right now and I love them all. I'm sure i'll at least try a cherry pop sometime in the next few months. |

Aenima, Cherry Pop, and now proally VFM, are on me list. And maybe Hyperion...but I'm afraid that it's too nice.

I play post-metal type stuff, and Ive found the deeper sounding fuzzes like the SM and the VFM to be best for that doom-ey sound.
But i'm also running them through a Sunn 2000S stack... |

Unbridled, perhaps...

I find that it has a pretty industrial sounding EQ peak that's tough to get rid of without cutting out lots of the highs. If you do that, or your amp does it for you it could fit the bill.
(also I may have the wrong idea what doomy is) |
