Just got two new fuzz pedals!

[micahbell]

Last week I picked up two fuzz pedals, and I couldn't be happier.

One of them is by a pedal maker (SBN Pedals) from another forum I'm on. He has decided to stop building pedals, and was blowing his parts out for $65 a pedal for two of the ones he offered.
I wasn't interested in either of them, but really wanted to get something of his so I asked if he would do me up a fuzz, and he did!

In this picture it's the one in the middle, and I have decided to name it the hypnofuzz.

Man, I love this thing. It's grossly thick and there is just so much fuzz. I've found the only way to describe it is 'devastating.'
The left knob is volume, and the second is a battery dying simulator. No tone, no fuzz control - this thing is in no way subtle... but it's exactly what I wanted.

The other pedal I bought was the Swollen Pickle, which is the polar opposite in terms of control - you can do almost anything with it.
So much has been said on it already, so I'll just leave it at "I love it"


I'm now a little worried though... these are my first two fuzz pedals, and I'm in love. I may have a hard time not buying more

Clips.

Yep fuzz is so fun and a bit addictive!

You probably have a Fuzzrocious Stache and a EH Bass Muff in your future, you might just not know it yet!

I'm going to post clips as soon as I can.

The Swollen Pickle was bought randomly - I work at a guitar shop where I get a really good discount. I have been wanting a Swollen Pickle for a while, but couldn't justify the price.
Then one day I came into the shop to find that one had came in used and the price we were selling it for was less then what my discounted price would be, so I bought it.
Right now I can't see myself using it on an album, but it sounds great live.

As for the Hypnofuzz - I just started a band where I where the bass tone will always be distorted/fuzzed out, so I contacted the builder with the hopes that this pedal would give me 'the sound' and he delivered, so as soon as the new band has something to release I'll have some great clips.

How different is the bass muff from a regular one? I played a bit with a regular muff and hated it... my wallet is keeping me from trying out anything else, so for the time being I'm going to avoid googling 'Fuzzrocious Stache'
