| | |  Fuzz that cuts low end?
Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys I';m actually in need of a fuzz pedal that will CUT most of my low end signals coming from my bass and give a high "buzzsaw" type sound. The reason for this is that I'm running a Bi-Amp set up and this will fit with the music I'm wanting to play, would I also benefit from using a guitar amp? If so which one? Thx in advance. |

You can get a boutique clone, or you can get one from BYOC (I have one) that sounds like this through a guitar amp: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...songID=8757665 |

| | | | actually, i'm going for an even more aggressive sound. I'll try to find an example. |

| | | | Do you know how to wield a soldering iron? If so, you can just replace one capacitor in most circuits to cut the low end.
Also, the Boss DS-1 has a tone stack that cuts low end as it's turned up. They're way cheap, and pretty cool. Big Muffs have similar tone stacks, of course (but it seems like I'm suggesting a Big Muff for everything these days).

This is the only clip of it I have right now (more are in the works): http://www.ovnifx.com/clips/superfuzz_chicago.mp3 |

| | | The Superfuzz and its clones also come with a switch that I have heard called a bass cut switch or a mid scoop switch, depending on who is talking. I ordered a Wattson Classic Electronics Fuzz clone of it a few days ago. It's been used on famous basslines like the Beastie Boyz - Sabotage, for example. But the different tones you can get from it are so different, it's hard to point to one example. Here's a video demo of one of the original vintage models with a bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2HJgHbJ1qY | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
