awesome fuzz pedals not based on a muff??

[oldironsights]

Ive got a few fuzz pedals all which are based off of the muff circuitry. Can someone give me some other fuzz pedals that have different tones??

 

[whoatherechunk]

watson super fuzz, tubescreamer clones, rats....there are a bunch....

 

[oldironsights]

Here is what ive got: fully ocd, rat, bluebeard. Now what other fuzz/dist sounds different than those 3??

Check out Jacques Fuse Blower. (I don't know the specifics, but it doesn't sound anything like a Muff to my ears... much more musical.)

Rat isn't based on the Muff, as far as I know...

Check out bassfuzz.com, the Audimonk Fuzz Potion and Tentacle Love Super Fuzz are derived from a Shin-Ei Superfuzz I think. Also the new MXR 108 Classic Fuzz is based on a fuzz face and really rips with bass.

Right, the Fuzz Face derivatives are another flavor you should try. I use a Frantone Bassweet for that; my other favorite bass FF clone was the TecAmp Dream Buzz. But definitely check out that www.bassfuzz.com as Danny says.

+1 on the Fuzz Face ones. The Woolly Mammoth seems to be a derivative of the FF

I don't know if this counts but I really like the Color Sound Tone Bender

 

[rratajski]

Just my two cents...I don't really consider the RAT a fuzz...it's more distortion.

oldironsights - The Bluebeard is muff-based.

Of the ones I own-- The tentacle superfuzz is pretty wild. The Prunes&Custard is a filtery sounding fuzz that is very unique, and the Brown Dog gated fuzz is a great one too.

I've got a bass big muff and just recently picked up a silicon assmaster. Definately a different beast than a muff. But like everyone said, check out bassfuzz. Be prepared for GAS though...

Definitely not a muff...

Legend of Fuzz?

Legend of Fuzz?

I was gonna say that too... i didn't know if it was a muff derivative though...

Are the Boss FZ 2 or 5 based on a muff circuit? I have a friend that uses an FZ-2 and it sounds pretty good...

nope, the FZ-2 is closer to a fuzz face

The Devi Ever Bit Legend Of Fuzz is definitely not based on a Muff. It's unlike anything else I've come across.

Look for Fuzz Face, Super Fuzz, Tone Bender, and octave fuzz variants.

Which is why I just ordered one.

Damn you, Effects forum, and your G.A.S. inducing qualities!

You can also use it as a noise gate.

I'm going to eventually build up a clone and mod it.

I love the Prunes & Custard. It and the Superfuzz type (e.g. the Guyatone TZ-2) are my favorite fuzzes.

The MXR Blue Box is probably not up your alley, but it's definitely different from a Muff.
