Doomy/wall of fuzz - fuzz

[Fingerpickingood]

I have a buddy who's a doom bassist. He owns probably six or seven fuzz pedals, and he swears by the Megalith.

Here's some Pale Mare action I made over the weekend.

Yeah I've heard about that but the only demo's I've seen have sounded harsh on the high end and a bit fizzy

Are they the Mr.Ex demos? I see those on the website, and that dude has a very personal stylized tone (which others have commented on) that makes me go limp for every pedal he touches. I've never heard one of his demos that didn't sound harsh in the highs. His rig and style aren't my thing, so it might be worth considering the demos are not representative. That said, I've never played one of these boxes. I just started looking at them from reading this thread. YMMV

Yeah I find most of his Demo's sound the same to me and every fuzz sounds harsh, I've done some more research and like the sound of the megalith just considering the eau Claire and fuzz war too but can't make a decision haha
EDIT: Been looking deeper and now deciding between the pale mare, eau Claire and fuzz war me thinks...

That sounds mint.

It sounds like a big muff to me.

I want it more sludgy though, so pale mare may be the route..

 

[dcarwin]

Sounds like cranked solid state to me.

Muffs are a bit smoother, creamier. Also your link is studio, so anything goes. Have a live link?

Seeing glimpses of an SVT classic & 8x10 here - can't see pedals though.

I've got an 810 and an abm 500, though I would like to get an svt vr in the future, may get the Pale mare to do the trick though

I think that the Silver Rose v2 will do the trick, two parallel monster fuzzes in one pedal.

Will look into it, cheers!

I get that but I think it's just some muff derivative into a tube amp. A 2x15 cab might also be part of that sound.

Yeah, I'm only using this a basis though and thinking a pale mare or a silver rose may be the ticket...

Really really like the silver rose, sounds perfect for what I want, cheers!

I'm a huge fan of the earthbound audio centurion. It is less compressed and less smooth than a muff. More aggressive and ripping.

The earthbound stuff sounds pretty good and they have a lot of choice, I'd probably go for the pale mare of their pedals

 

[vigor&kandor]

Pretty good is and understatement for his build quality

They look mint, just need to decide whether to shell out the extra for a silver rose or not...

 

[Patchbass]

Bump for more suggestions. Really can't decide at the minute, Gone back to looking at pale mare and megalith but not sure about megalith as it sounds fizzy to me...
