Hello there fellow low-enders,
I was wondering if anyone could reccomend some good fuzz. I like the boss fuzz and am loking to actually getting a fuzz pedal. Does anyone like the legend of fuzz? I like the casing but have yet to hear it (don't judge a book by its cover right?) So if anyone has insight I am all ears...  |

Also, if you've got some specific fuzzes in mind, you can't go wrong doing a search. |

This fact, however, is also a double edged sword, as there are probably more distinct, unique flavors of "fuzz" out there than there are of any other effect. Bassfuzz.com is a great starting point, however, to get an idea of which tones you like from a fuzz.
Hope this helps.

I don't understand why anyone uses effects except as stated by RCCollins: they help cover your mistakes. |

Well I've been considering taking my head and cab out of the chain completely so I can avoid their coloration - I've noticed they really seem to squash my highs while eliminating my midrange and negating my lows. It's pretty frustrating. However, I find that the buffer on my tuner tends to stretch out my lower frequencies which helps me cut through the mix. |

OP, you would really benefit from doing a search on www.google.com. I typed in "legend of fuzz" "bass" and it yielded over 700 hits. There are links there to www.youtube.com demos of this pedal on bass.
If you're not happy w/ that, follow the other members' instructions and get to http://bassfuzz.com. |
