Reccommend me a fuzz pedal! =d

[PORKO.]

I'm looking for a fuzzy fuzz pedal, that's fuzzy.
Lol, but seriously, the sound i'm looking for is thick, SATURATED, rich, FAT AND WARM, kind of distortion, that's why i'm looking for a fuzz.

I was thinking about EHX Russian or USA muff pi, but i wanna check out all other options before buying.

So yeaa, any suggestions?
And please do state where to get the suggested pedal from. =D
Thanks.

Dude, try the Frantone Sweet or Peach Fuzz, it will get you exactly what you are looking for, that J Mascias sound...i have been trhough quite a few fuzzes and i ended up with these, the Skreddy Mayo comes a close second also but much better to save the extra dollars...

goosonique fudge 73
i have one for sale.
fuzz based on a triangle muff.
rich warm and enough dirt to last for days.

Try the Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker.

Or, Barber Trifecta.

I checked out the youtube vids for the pedals you guys mentioned.
The peahfuzz was too smooth for me, but the sweet was just GREAT, EXACTLY the kind of grind that i'm looking for. I wouldn't mind getting the barber trifecta too.
How much do they cost and where can i find them?
I'm on a tight buget though; must be below $160. =/

Do check out the Mojo Hand Huckleberry v2. There are a few videos on youtube and the audio clip on the Tonefactor website (note: I have one for sale in the buy&sell section).

Trifecta - TYMC

Price, more than $200 I believe. Can't rem how much I got it for =.=

Own one, good fuzz pedal, can dial quite a few unique sounds and tones.

In my experience, fuzz is ridiculously... varied.

You want to talk fuzz, you can go crazy. CRAZY.

Heck, the thing can work AWESOME at home but bring it outside into the hot sun, and eh, the tone changes.
Buffers can turn your lovely fat warm fuzz tone into velcro... but that may be the only way to cut thru the mix.
Is a $50 fuzz better than a $300 fuzz? The answers are more obvious than the usual od/dist debate.
Is a Muff a fuzz? Some say no. Why? Are you really after a muff-like fuzz or a fuzz-like muff or a fuzz-like fuzz? How about octave fuzzes? What about those uber tweakable, crazy fuzzes like the Zvex Fuzz Factory?

So where to start?

I would advise against asking for recommendations based on some sonic description.

The best way to start is to seek to emulate the tones you have heard and enjoy. Find out what the artist uses to create that lovely fuzz tone. When you do, then you can start researching on similar fuzz pedals, and then ask more questions to help shape the choice of fuzz into the one that will better suit your needs.

hmm..
I wanna emulate matt's tone, the guy from muse.
He uses a Zvex fuzz factory, but it's waaaaay too out of my budget.
On top of that, it's very tweakable fuzz, there are like a million tones he can get out of it.
But the exact tone i'm looking for is the one he uses in the song Micro cuts, during the chorus.
I know the singing is a bit unbearable, but the guitar's distortion/fuzz is great.
Here's a link to the video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlAPkNpS-O8

More suggestions that are within my budget will be very much appreciate. =)
Thanks guys.

Fat FAT fuzz..

If you need something really cheap.. This version of the muff is superb!

Or a simple fuzz face, I'm personally using this one..

Get the muff pi. Matt does use this pedal(i think) together with his fuzz factory.
Alternatively, get a decent distortion pedal. From my knowledge, matt uses his fuzz factory mainly for distortion.

coolcat fuzz.

a frantone peach fuzz for a few dollars!

Guys,

dont mind me interupting the thread too.

me too is looking for a fuzz pedal.

i would love to have one Pete Cornish's P2 fuzz.
but its wayyyy.. off my budget.

Any one has any recomendations that has a fuzz close to it?

i dont mean an exact copy. (coz i believe that P2 Fuzz is a class of its own) thats why it costs that much.

thx

 

[gsonique]

It's Muff with buffer in front a RF filter before the output ...

"P-1 is supposed to be a copy of David Gilmour's 1974 EHX big muff, and the P-2 is a sort of hotrodded version of that...."
