overdrive vs fuzz

[poomwah]

which do you use more?

 

[lowbass68]

Fulltone and Hematoma are my favs.

 

[afroman]

I have a Fulltone Bassdrive and it's great.
Sold my Fuzz because I wasn't using it that much.
I do love Fuzz sounds.

 

[greenboy]

Both.

 

[ihateusernames]

od - about to add a fuzz - and more od!

 

[rratajski]

Just using my Green Stache (GGG-tuned EHX BMP replica).

The pimped out Vintage Reissue RAT is on the sideline.

 

[poomwah]

I'm leaning toward OD as my first pedal. But still considering fuzz

 

[Gasman]

Pro Co Rat, Marshall Guv'nor, Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive, and EBS ValveDrive, all for different flavors of overdrive. Valvedrive does a good fuzz, but I don't really use it for that.

 

[JoshC]

I love Fuzz. I use some OD, but Fuzz is much more pleasing to my ears.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

I use Fuzz way more, but I think the idea of "versus" when it comes to two different styles of distortion is a little silly.

 

[rcubed]

Fuzz.

 

[HelloJerk]

I believe these different types of distortion serve different purposes. I play in a trio, and often use a light fuzz to thicken my tone. If I needed to cut through a large group of musicians, I would probably use light overdrive to serve that purpose.

the idea of versus makes a lot of sense when you can only afford one and are trying to decide which one to buy first

 

[excane]

Depends on what is called for at the moment, but I'd say I wind up using both equal amounts.

 

[Mudfuzz]

FUZZ!!! Whenever I can get away with it I will.

Well, would you buy an apple first, or would you go for the orange?

 

[The BurgerMeister]

both!

 

[poomwah]

apple or orange? it would depend on which one I would be more likely to eat first.
thats the point of this, to determine which pedal would get used more, and that would be the one I'd get first until I could afford the other one

I should be receiving a fuzz shortly but I've been using OD for quite a while. My taste in fuzz is pretty mild and dark, close to OD. Some fuzzes can sort of cop an OD and vice verse as it's sort of a matter of degrees of clipping. I may very well not keep the fuzz but I really doubt I'll ever ditch my OD.

 

[kesslari]

I'm still not sure of the difference - it's one of degree, but where?
Is the Polish Love an OD or a Fuzz? What about... yada yada.

Flipster is an OD... I think...
