Sold my Fuzz because I wasn't using it that much.
I do love Fuzz sounds. |

The pimped out Vintage Reissue RAT is on the sideline. |

| | | | I'm leaning toward OD as my first pedal. But still considering fuzz |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: La Jolla, CA | | | I believe these different types of distortion serve different purposes. I play in a trio, and often use a light fuzz to thicken my tone. If I needed to cut through a large group of musicians, I would probably use light overdrive to serve that purpose.

Well, would you buy an apple first, or would you go for the orange?  |

thats the point of this, to determine which pedal would get used more, and that would be the one I'd get first until I could afford the other one |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: The Berkshires, Ma | | | I should be receiving a fuzz shortly but I've been using OD for quite a while. My taste in fuzz is pretty mild and dark, close to OD. Some fuzzes can sort of cop an OD and vice verse as it's sort of a matter of degrees of clipping. I may very well not keep the fuzz but I really doubt I'll ever ditch my OD. |

Is the Polish Love an OD or a Fuzz? What about... yada yada.
Flipster is an OD... I think...
