What's your fuzz about?!

[aedes]

Cos I play metal most of the time I don't use a lot of fuzz. But when I noodle I love the Laowiz Cystech.

Dude, I'm going to have to get you a new one when they are ready. It destroys the first version.

All this influencer talk is getting to me, I wanna try one now.

I am going to concentrate on finalizing a new version soon. After making the 1st version I wanted to take a break from that circuit and put out a hyper fuzz variant but got bored of that and started messing with this circuit again. There's something so addicting about this particular circuit and I keep discovering new and exciting sounds, thought I was close to finalizing all of the options and then a couple of days ago I discovered a straight up RAT like option that is pretty glorious that I feel like I need to include. Likely going to do a small number of them in ridiculously huge boxes with a few extra options and then more of a production model that's more pedal board friendly. I'm always in slow motion building wise because my job sucks up so much time but I think this version will be much better than the original version as there will be many more sounds to be had and a nice active tone control that spices shit up. Someday soon (ish)!

good god man, v1 is amazing though. it can't possibly get better right?

Ah, thanks!!! It will be more versatile with loads more of the experimental fuzz settings. With the active tone control it cuts more, sounds more crispy and present but you are able to cut treble with a treble control which is working great. Less to no oscillation with a brighter filter range. I really want to incorporate this Rat setting but it would require an additional control which would make it 8, might do that as a standalone...

I was actually thinking of you a couple of days again. Sorted a bunch of those transistors, will hit you up.

You have my attention.

[gila_crisis]

I have many fuzzes. The one I use/like most are:
MASF Epilepsy: my one to go for all my noise and doom needs, tons of volume available and a wonderful totally uncontrollable noise/oscillo generator!
Lastgasp 46 Sooperfuzz: super cool Superfuzz variant, able also to self oscilate.
Earthbound Audio Supercollider: wonderful take on the Big Muff, superflexible, can do anything from vintage to mordern tones.
BSRI Audio TFZ: the last fuzz I got, i suppose it's based on a tonebender, with some cool and clever twists, that lets it achive many sounds.
Spiral Electric Allora: super cool fuzz, very velcroisch, but gain amd bias knob let you achieve a tons of good tones, from slight overdrives up to sludgy walls of noise.

[fcknoise]

What sucks ass is that both my fave muffs are in need of some simple fixes. Blunderbuss and Supercollider '71, because it seems that i without trying almost always get the "almost" version of whatever else is really cool and popular

[fcknoise]

But more seriously. Sometimes I wonder: do I love fuzz? or do I love fuzzy distortion and the weirdo land of semantics that exist between dist and fuzz? Like HM-2, RAT, to some extent Big Muffs (but with the mids control), death metal pedal, metal zone -> all thesse make me feel the best. I tend to fall outta love with a lot of fuzzes after a while. Maybe I am just overthinking this

i'm about to enter a new era of green ringer stacking

EHX Germanium OD into a Dunlop Ge FF mini sounds nice.

I’m here for you - I feel the same way. I’ve been obsessed with the OG DOD Grunge lately. Squarewave distortion on the Data Corrupter, the HM2, the Turbo Rat….

I always go back to the Muff and the Hyper Fuzz clones I’ve been jamming recently. I don’t hate fuzz.

boosted fuzz faces are my shit! How does the dunlop work with stuff in front?

My fuzz is an expresso germ into CLANG cause clang. Jag middle position, strangle switch ON

Well with the Germ OD, it's like a splattier Blackmore; more sizzle, fuzzier. The stacked germanium is about as unstable as it gets. When I ran a Distortion + before the FF, it sounded sort of "fuzzstortion", but more emphasis on the distortion. Vibes and other modulations before it tend to make the fuzz grittier and more pronounced. I prefer running a Green Ringer after it vs. before. Before just does your basic octave fuzz pterodactyl shrieks, but running after seems to blend the tonal characteristics of either pedal more and creates interesting textures of fuzz with more octave up undertones-kinda spongy.
