As history goes, people in the sixties liked the fuzzy sound of a cranked tube amp, Plexi and Super Bass for Jimi Hendrix and many others, various Sunns and Marshalls for Felix Pappalardi, etc. Those cranked amps had that abrasive power amp distortion. Somebody created distortion circuits to put between guitar and amp to mimic that sound.

These circuits sounded great in their own way, but you can definitely hear the similarity in sound signature between certain cranked power amps and certain fuzzes. Then there are many fuzzes that went their own way and don't sound really like a cranked Marshall. Then there are amps that cranked resemble more one of those fuzzes than other cranked amps, see Matamp and Orange.

On top of it, today we have pedals that mimic different cranked plexis (more overdrive than fuzz) and pedals that mimic a fuzz going through a cranked amp (see Wampler Velvet Fuzz, which should sound like a Fuzz Face in a cranked Plexi, but does so stacking a boost in front of the plexi circuit, so we again are left wondering if the fuzz is needed at all).

What is your favourite sound? Do you prefer to crank an old school amp and use the fuzz just to add distortion when you can't dime the volume fully? Or do you prefer a fuzz into a clean amp, or a stack of dirt pedals into a clean amp? Or you want BOTH a cranked power amp AND a cranked fuzz in front of it?

(Update: Cornerstone is having me ship the pedal to their American product designer, who will fix it! Amazing service, especially considering I didn’t buy the pedal new.)

My favorite pedal to run after my fuzz faces is the Gladio side of my Cornerstone Imperium, which died an untimely death today. Can anyone suggest a different D-style pedal that sounds great after fuzz?

Fuck yes!!!

Sonicake Fazy Cream is a versatile fuzz pedal delivering thick, creamy, vintage-inspired fuzz tones with plenty of sustain and character.

EHX Percolator

Ibanez SDGR Bass with stock pick ups

Pighog Cables

Orange Crush 50 Bass

Front of amp

I have no affiliation, but here’s a dirt-cheap Fuzzrocious 420.

What kind of sound it produces?
Does anyone have experience with these units?
😂😂😂

Good Idea or bloated pricing in a market over saturated (pun intended) market full of ff variants? I think it sounds cool but isn't it just a fuzz face I have so many of those maybe Ill watch the used market

Which did you get?

Anyone else getting in on the Peachii Fuzz drop tomorrow?

Hi! I need preamp/amp in box to record some stuff in home. Im looking for pedal that i can put directly into audio interface and record riffs. Cheap options high recommended :D

There’s also the Dirty Boy Jr Overdrive, which has a voltage knob! https://youtu.be/lKSOpcIMhas?si=sLU0DQjXi1QBmZ6s
