good bass fuzz?

[mellowgerman]

I'm looking into getting a nice fuzz pedal to use with my bass. Now I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions as to which sound good with bass. I don't wanna lose all my low end if you dig
also, i'm hoping to keep it under 100 bucks if possible. thanks

We need more details if you're to get any meaningful responses. What kind of sound are you hoping to achieve? Can you post a link to a youtube video perhaps so we can hear what kind of tone you're after?

There's the intense fuzz, the classic fuzz, the mild fuzz, the blowtorch fuzz, the bassmaster fuzz, the fuzz fuzz and the fuzz (cop fuzz)

I wouldn't call the blowtorch a fuzz - it's too neat n' tidy sounding. I'm beginning to think all MXR pedals are too neat n' tidy for me actually - I'm slowly developing a small pile of them I need to sell.

If you're looking for a good fuzz under 100 dollars I would look at this guys stuff http://www.musicelectronix.com/clips/

Boss Hyper Metal - Not sure if it's really a fuzz but it sounds pretty damn good.

Lots of choices, and sound samples both on the forum and youtube. Most fit your price range.

Well, it's certainly not an overdrive pedal, and by conventional definitions of distortion, I wouldn't call it that, either.

They are readily available on ebay I believe. I think the manufacturer sells them direct through ebay.

I've been pretty torn between an Attack Goat and a Devi Cherry Pop. The Cherry Pop is really freakin cool.

It's too "scratchy" to be a fuzz, IMO. That's as descriptive as I'm feeling today, sorry...

I have to confess I am not enjoying trying to find the "right" fuzz pedal as much as I thought I would. Main issue being that with every pedal I try, I find one sound or feature that I think might be useful, and I can't afford to keep them all.

Next on my list is a Brown Dog, but Chunk/Godlyke don't have any UK dealers at the moment so I'd have to import one.

Lordy, the names for these things are getting so weird that they remind me of the old Saturday Night Live routine where they tout the product called "Mangled Baby Ducks. With a name like that, you KNOW it just has to be fanTAStic..."

 

[Sean S]

Well, Wounded Paw is the "brand", if you will. He's also a TB'er.

I love my MXR Blowtorch, only affects the mid frequencies so the bass is still there underneath the distortion/fuzz.

On that note... Boss Hyper Fuzz FZ-2

Run the effect thru the amps effect loop to maintain the bass level better...

anyone try the DOD flashback fuzz? looks like it might be interesting on account of that "low" control knob it has
