Non-Muff fuzz!?

[JanusZarate]

I thought your favorite might be a non-Muff fuzz, given that the thread is an anti-Muff thread.

I could've said Ultratonetorch, too, or Supertonetorch (depending on whether you like the Univox Superfuzz and its variants).

For NON-Muff, here's a current thread on the Univox Super-Fuzz, which considerably predates the Muff:

Sorry to kick at a dead-ish horse... but I had to bring this thread back, so I could toot the IBANEZ SMASH BOX's horn!

I'm A/Bing my Little Big Muff with my Smash Box

I honestly, for the life of me, cannot get the Muff to sound anywhere NEAR as golden as the Smash Box. Much love for the smash box

Sweet video! I want the Hoof Fuzz!

I'm thinking I may want a Hoof myself. I wanted a Dirt Transmitter from Earthquaker but the more I hear of it the more I feel like it won't be the best for bass. Shame too because the bias knob is something I'd love.

I've been waiting for this question! team_awesome fuzzmachine

My favourite fuzzes are currently the Colorsound Bassfuzz and the Zvex Woolly Mammoth.

For non-muff, I love my McSpunckle Gnomeratron VTF - it's got the clean blend everyone loves, and a reeeeeeeeeal nasty octave (but with the tone & gate controls, you can totally tame it).

I also love my Danelectro French Toast, which is a cheap cheap cheap clone of the Foxx Tone Machine.

ERRRRRRNT

Muff hass more clipping going on and higher gain trannies. Adding a LBP circuit to the tail end of the Tonebender (and I am talking about the 3 knob Colorsound Tonebender - the Vox Suppa Tonebender is basically a big muff) would not alter these CRUCIAL areas of the existing circuit.

I'd really need to compare whats going on in a Brassmaster and compare it to a muff. I'd be willing to bet the Mammoth is loosely based on a brassmaster. and then the fender blender looks like a fun one too!


Build I say Build!!!!

The Mammoth is not based on the Brassmaster, it's more like a Fuzz Face type circuit with a Big Muff tone control and some resistors replaced with pots (ie variable resistors).
