Favorite Bass Fuzz right now

#61
I'm just about to step into my bass fuzz adventure, I'm torn between the russian big muff and woolly mammoth/ mastrotron.
In the meantime, I went through all my guitar pedals to see what is usable for now. DS-2 not bad, better than the TS9. I also tried jimi hendrix bog fuzz, the mini by dunlop and durham sex drive.
But the new Deep Trip BOG fuzz is pretty usable as it has a lows and highs switch which works well. I just might take it to rehearsal tonight to see

Wanted a new fuzz for a small practice board to take around to rehearsals, so I picked up the Sub Buzz from Union Tube & Transistor.

It's a fuzz made for bass. The knob on the left is the fuzz volume, and the knob on the right is your clean bass volume. This lets you blend your fuzz and dry sound however you like. It makes one fuzz sound that I find pleasant. It's not an extreme fuzz sound that pushes into synth. This is more of what I'd call a great fuzz for various rock genres.

A feature it has that is not on their website is this has an internal battery. I discovered it on accident. It also made it a handy travel fuzz I can throw in my bag and use one the fly thanks to the battery.

I grabbed a Recovery Effects Pearl a while ago and even though I don't get to step on it much with the current band, I just adore the toasty warm 'n beefy sound I get from that thing.

Maybe this is cheating, but the "fuzz option" I'm using the most right now is my HX One. There are way more than just two or three fuzzes - decent sounding useful fuzzes - in this gizmo that can offer a terrific buffet of this or that sound for anybody trying to figure out what can work in a certain mix. I think I found mine used at GC for $180 or $200. Something like the HX Stomp is a bit too overboard for me, at least for now, but the One has been manageable and also a lot of fun.

I am still super enamored with the Fender Hello Kitty fuzz. Happens to visually pair well with my Badtz-Maru bass, but also happens to be a fantastic fuzz for bass!

Surprised no one has mentioned the Death By Audio Bass War yet!

After being a devout Green Russian Guy™ I gave the Bass War a try and it blew my socks clean off! Very versatile and the controls are broad and interactive.
