FUZZ combo: shootout

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

I'm getting myself a combo pedal made, I wanted some classic fuzz + a crazy fuzz in the same box, this are my "options":

Fuzz Face
Rat
Mosrite Fuzzrite
Big Muff
Dallas Rangemaster
Shin Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz.
DOD 250 Overdrive
Fuzz Factory
Coloursound One Knob Fuzz
Coloursound Bass Fuzz
Wooley Mammoth
MXR Distortion +
Tubescreamer/Eternity/Zendrive style Overdrive
Schaller Fuzz

I can also have a blend knob on the pedals, so in orther to have a vintagey/straight fuzz and a crazy fuzz in the same enclousure I was thinking something like:

Rat with blend + Wooly Mammoth

or

Colorsound Bass Fuzz + Wooly Mammoth

What do YOU think? Any other recomendation?

Rat + Wooly Mammoth. That's actually what I'm running: Rat Tail into Mammoth clone, and I'm incredibly happy with it.

I'll look into Dwarfcraft, but right now I have to choose from that list...

Colorsound Bass Fuzz + Woolly Mammoth is winning right now... But I still have to make up my mind, maybe they overlap too much... I'm not sure if the Colorsound Bass Fuzz can do the vintage fuzz sound...

Are these from BYOC or GGG, is that why these are your choices?
Not all of these choices are truly fuzz. Rat, Distortion+, 250, Tubescreamer. i am sure you know that though.

I would go Colorsound bass fuzz and wooly mammoth together. From what you have on the list, The Wooly Mammoth is really the only modern one. It can get gated.

I like running my Grey Stache into my Colorsound Tonebender. It produces a nice thick stoner/doom tone.

I know, but that is my list, since the guy doing the pedals for me has expeience with those pedals. I can ask for little tweaks like a bass boost of blend knob, but that's about it...
He's "pushing" the rat with blend, i had a vintage rat and didn't find anything special there, but maybe with a blend it's a different game, although I hate the "layered sound": when a blend knob makes a pedal sound like bass + other instrument on top (distorted guitar I would fear in this case...)
