Yes, a slight variation on "what's your favorite fuzzbox." 
But the more I've been posting in here, the more curious I've become to figure out what a lot of the regular fuzz guys here would use as their "holy grail" of recorded fuzzy/distorted goodness.
As far as I'm concerned, Al Cisneros's work in OM has what I'd consider the best distortion/fuzz ever recorded. It sounds like a melting rig (which, I suppose it is), and I love it. |

I'd also have to say some of Fu Manchu's stuff. And Acid King. Also, Godstomper has a pretty gnarly fuzz tone. He uses the Green Russian Muff.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Albany, Western Australia | | | My favorite will always be Luke Gower from cog, he get's the most amazing fuzz tone out of his rig (old old sovtek muff, we think it's the green one but that's yet to be confirmed due to re-housing)
but yeah Luke Gower, i suppose to make a comparison think similar to Chris Wolstenholmes muse tone.....but it really has it's own unique flavor and he combines it incredibly well with delay in My Enemy |

Also really like the bass sound on Tahitian Moon by Porno for Pyros(sorry, don't know who the player is) and just about anything Doug Pinnick does on the early King's X stuff.
Peace

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | Felix Pappalardi's Sunn tone in Mountain. Specifically the live at the Fillmore one.
Al Cisneros's tone specifically on the last two and a half minutes of At Giza, Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead, and on Sleep's Sonic Titan.
Troy Sanders tone in Blood and Thunder.
Jesse Keeler in Death From Above 1979
Jeff Matz tone in Death is this Communion
Tim Bagshaw's tone on Mind Transferral
A certain goob in Buzzardstien
Ron's tone at 2.45 of Reefer Sutherland
Takeshi of Boris
Guy Pinhas playing on III.
And yes I realize that a couple of these are amp distortion tones. They still sound the best. |

A lot of the time you have a blend of clean and fuzzed. but it always sounds so good. Never too synthy. |
