|  | Registered User | | | | | Too many effects. Choosing which to keep is so hard.
I have 3 fuzzes alone! Fuzzes are very hard to pick on. IMO they all sound great. In their own ways. However chance I ever use 1 fuzz is slim much less 3.
What do I do?
The bass big muff is VERY versatile. Also too much. There's too many sounds I like and it takes up quite a bit of room. The wooly really only does one sound but man it does it GREAT. The swollen pickle is in a class of its own.
Ahhhh |

The wooly is the most unique as its a gated fuzz so it really cant be emulated by the other two. Between the mammoth and the pickle you should be able to cover your fuzz needs! I'm in the exact same boat as you. I have a tonebender, centurion, and a mastotron and it's time to ditch one of them for space!

"What could you possibly need TWO of those for?!"
"Yeah. I bought a third one last week."
She just laughed at me. I think she's starting to understand my insanity. Perhaps, she too, is joining the fray...

| | | | Keep all three, but have only one on the pedal board at a time. Honestly, we hear the difference but the audiance at a gig wouldn't notice if you had one or three. So, keep the pedal board simple and rotate them occasionally to change things up for you. |

I'm in recovery with "only" 30 or so!
