Dry Pickle

[Somnambulance]

So, my Swollen Pickle is beginning to sound dry to me. Maybe I'm just getting used to it, but I'm sick of all the damn knobs and the sound of it isn't doing it for me anymore. I'm waiting until I get my new bass to get new pedals, but would anyone care to suggest some Fuzzes out there for me to research?

Diabolik doesn't interest me
Mountainking Electronics Heavy machine and Megalith sound good, but $300 for a fuzz is cray cray.

The Deviever stuff has me kind of interested, and the Walrus Audio Jupiter looks promising.
I love EQD stuff, but have no experience with their dirt.

What kind of fuzz sound you going for? Muffy? Super fuzzy? Octavey? Synthy? Crazy?

Crazy, kind of muffy, and bass boomy.

you described the earthbound audio supercollider! they are totally worth the wait. they are somewhat hard to find. I got lucky and snagged mine of the classifieds. it sounds amazing with my musicman stingray.

The Great Destroyer is awesome. If you want long sustain it starts to get glitchy but I like that about it. A Grey Stache with oscillation would be fun. TAFM is worth a look. The Heavy Machine is 200 so it's much cheaper than the Megalith. Dunwich makes some awesome fuzzes too.

To me if seems like you haven't found the sweet spot on the Pickle. That's why I got rid of mine. Wish I would of gave it a longer run. I know the sound is in there somewhere.

Sounds like your pickle needs some lube.... In all seriousness you may want to spend some time tweaking before you dump it. Those trim pots can really change things up for the pickle.

You can get a good sound out of the SP II, but it's not the be-all end-all by any means. Tried the TAFM? Or the ss/bs Hawk? The Hawk doesn't get much love around here but I am really digging it for heavy gated fuzz.

I'll keep the Swollen Pickle for a while, as it's still useful. The Great Destroyer is deffinitely worth looking into. The videos I've seen of the TAFM don't really impress me. I haven't looked up much about the Grey stache, though the Hyperion2 with oscilation seems cool. I've twiddled all of the knobs in and out of the swollen pickle though, yet to find a setting I really like.

the sp didn't do it for me. it sounded to muffled. thats why I sold the one I had.

Prescription Fuzz?

 

[bassmusic17]

Another one to peep would be the Gnomeatron VTF. It's wild!

I found a few good tones in my Swollen Pickle today.

The devi stuff is crap. Sounds like a mess and can be unpredictable (in a bad way).

You looked at the blower box yet?

Bass demo of the Gnome I did a couple years ago.

Also I don't know if I'd call th e Idiotbox Blasteroid muffy in any way but it is an inexpensive awesome fuzz.

Have it. Love it.

When I combine my Swollen Pickle and Blowbox it's close to the perfect fuzz/OD tone I want. I'm thinking of going to either EQD or Idiotbox for another fuzz..

You should get the Ron Swanson. Just cause.
