No need to apologize. Someone asked about the Guytone Fuzz and I mentioned that I'd heard that it (the Guytone) and the Zoom Ultrafuzz were considered the "poor man's" Wooly Mammoth. I found it funny, that he didn't like the Mammoth, but enjoys a pedal considered a cheap alternative for that pedal.

All but one of my basses are active (well two if you count the acoustic) so I certainly understand XtraLongScale's reasoning. But owning the Guyatone, I wouldn't consider it a poor man's Woolly Mammoth. Both are fuzzes that hold the bass extremely well, and both (IMO) are one trick ponys but they are fairly different sounding. The Mammoth is full and thick fuzz while the Guyatone is much sharper. More like a buzzsaw.

Also, its subtle octave effect gives it a very weird, almost ring-modulator like clang when playing upper register double stops or chords. Especially with active basses.

It's a neat, inexpensive little pedal, but I don't find much use for it. I think if I used passive basses the Mammoth's industrial tone could find its way into songs more often than the TZ-2. Still I keep it around because what little it does, it does very well.

I'm in the process of re-building mine to include a multi-loop bypass strip and fully-concealed cabling.

Here's my old one. The only thing on there I'm currently using is the English Muff'n...

Yeah, I know for a fact you don't have that Disco BOB on your pedalboard anymore . . .;)

Hey Lenny,

How is the Klon on bass?
Click to expand...

It's not bad... I think that, by itself, it isn't what one would really want to use as a bass OD. I bought it primarily for my g****r rig. The pedalboard serves double-duty.
I must add though, it does get a great sound when used in conjunction with the Octabass.

That all said...I spoke with Bill at Klon last year and he mentioned that he was working on a BASS Klon. I wonder if he ever finished it?
Peace and blessings...

Hah hah, yeah the zoom does raise a few eyebrows compared to the rest of my kit, i felt better having found out that a surprising amount of top players and even some big names have kept theirs as well! It really is one of the best sounding pedals ive ever heard, and a great many 'signature' sounds of mine live in that decade old plastic noise maker!
I use two compressors as the hartke di/distortion really jumps the level when activated so the boss brings it back down before the amp to keep the level constant and protect the front end. This is why i have the noisegate, both are after the di and only affect the amp tone, the only compressor out front is the subtle aphex one.
The notes on my boss remind me to tune flat with Link Removed and double flat with Link Removed its not a glamourous boutique set up, but its born of 15 years gigging in everything from tiny corners to massive arenas and i think ive finally cracked it, apart from a line selector to switch the 506 in and out the loop.

Here's mine, just finished over the weekend. Signal flow is: Bass -> Modded Dunlop GCB-95 wah -> Digitech BSW -> MXR Bass DI+ -> Boss CH-1 Super Chorus - > Amp (YBA200). The Fender tuner is not in line with the pedals because the footswitch acts up a lot. I've got a line running from the tuner out on my amp to it and I keep it on the whole time. The entire board is powered by a Visual Sound 1 Spot and fits in a utility bag that I bought from Sam Ash a few years ago.
