The most important element of a good fuzz isn't just a good fuzz pedal.. In my opinion, a great amp makes for a much more responsive and diverse fuzz tone, more than any other type of effect. Also matching the proper type amp with your style pedal and guitar. Great great show

What is best for you? A very clean with lots of headroom sort of amp? a very pushed compressed overdrived amp tone? Or a totally crunch one?

I couldn’t agree more. A great fuzz through a shit amp won’t sound great

Man that Big Muff sounds killer

I love the history and science bits...do more of that please! I am not suggesting you turn it into a lecture but those are the parts I like the most. I love the length of these videos also, just the right amount!

Love it! Can't wait to see what else you guys have coming this year!

Just subscribed to the new channel. Looking forward to a great year of That Pedal Show!

Thanks guys! I was one of the fuzzily unprimed, and now I feel much more primed. I don't know why it took me two and a half decades to get into fuzz, but now I can see that it could easily become an obsession! Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe owner here... I received it on Christmas Eve and still experimenting and loving it!

Cheers, guys. Yet again you've saved my dull Friday afternoon at work!

One of the best demo channels on KZread, good work.

New channel looks amazing! Organized by subject just how I always wished channels would do!

Hey, you guys are great! So informative. Great chemistry. And always entertaining... You've probably helped millions of players, myself included, to make wise choices in the gear we spend so much of our money on.. Pedals, pedals, and more pedals!! Thanks guys. Great playing, by the way.... For our sakes, keep it up!

Thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience! Thanks guys;)

Ahhhhh Friday! Relax, and see what the lads have for us this week lovely 😃

Watching all again on ‘18 😀 every episode is a classic.

Dan and Mick, this is the BEST guitar related channel on youtube. You guys know your shit and do such an amazing job in passing it on. There's way too many guitar wankers out there that will "demo" a overdrive pedal by cranking the gain all the way up. I wish I was still living in Dublin and we could go for 347 pints of Guinness whenever you guys were visiting!!! Keep on rocking that pedal show!!!

Watching the glorious bromance between you two blossom has been a privilege to behold. Subscribed to the new show, and am eagerly waiting the new videos. Awesome news to hear you'll be working with Andertons and Pete as well. If you want a suggestion, it'd be cool if you did some videos comparing Chinese pedals to the ones that inspired them. Particularly the Klones, the Tone City KoT copy, and the Tone City Mandragora (Kalamazoo copy). Maybe even compare the Angry Charlie to the MI Crunchbox. I know a few other channels have done this, but you guys actually know how to play guitar, and you always do a great job of micing your amps, so your videos are far more useful.

Guys - I'm friggin' dying over here with the "name-drop" horn. SO funny!!

Has it been 4 years already?!? This is still my favorite episode. Glad I'm not the only one who turns into a giddy school girl over fuzz. =)

Loved Mick's ballad at the end...

Fuzz Fuzz Fuzz. The new channel needs more Fuzz!

Nice work, guys! I'd love to see an episode on running fuzz in front of a dirty amp instead of a clean one. Or even putting a fuzz in front of a light distortion pedal, which is what I wind up doing often. It's pretty fun.

I laughed so hard .. you guys are awesome. 9 chained fuzzes is hilarious :)

Loved the 'Shin Ei Duo Fuzz', it is basically an analog octave-up fuzz with those harmonics (which now you just mentioned now that I watched it longer)

If this was made today (2019) they would have had access to the EHX reissues of the Triangle, Op Amp and Sovtek Big Muffs. I would have liked to see them try those!

I have a silicon OxFuzz on the way. Can't wait! Btw, you guys should do an episode comparing speakers. There's such a vast selection out there but you could cover the more common makes and throw in some wild cards.

Band that really well used that discordant stuff Mick is doing at 14min is Norma Jean. A Small Spark vs A Great Forest was the track which immediately sprung to mind.

I laughed out loud when you put them all on at once

Awesome! And even better, you get to see your fillings at 2:33!!! Rock on gents.

Back in 70's I was just trying to play and I bought a Little Muff Pi. When I plugged that in, all of a sudden I could play like a whizz. I was 14 and playing Black Sabbath. Some of the most Glorious Days of my life. I would love to buy another, but can't find them anywhere.

Great show as always, thanks. Have you guys done a gated fuzz episode?

The Hendrix Fuzz Face is so,so good.

thankyou for doing more fuzz!!!! Can you please do another show with more obscure fuzz tones?

Great vid. I think I liked the tonebender the most. I still need to get one. I've just bought a fuzz probe. Bit disappointed that you didn't check the cleanup on that last sound haha

I use the swollen pickle, super versatile fuzz, but man i want more fuzz pedals lol

Brilliant vid guys! I've learnt a lot from you guys and about gain structure and ordering pedals etc having just started building a pedalboard! Although will there be a video where you're NOT staring into each other's eyes? ha.

fantastic as usual Gents. Micks all pedals on attempt at plastic surgery by adam ant was massive. maybe the Goombay dance band next week!

I credit the Big Muff to the large surge of guitarist that appeared in the early/mid 70s which fueled the 80s era. I remember the guitar as this thing that sounded nothing like the records and was frustrating. Then I plugged it into a Muff!! The coolest most incredible sound ever came out of the speaker and I was forever addicted. Had the Muff never appeared, a lot of guitarist like me would have gave up.

That Big Muff sounds REALLY good. 😻

Good one. Very funny and informative.

to me the best sounding pedal here was that red mini fuzz face.. did you hear that? that Gnarly "wooooooo"... teetering on the edge of breaking throgh and/ or feedback,,,, love love love love... just ordered one..cheap too! half the price of the analog man sunface! (which is a great great pedal..dont get me wrong)

I agree I love mine. It is a very unique fuzz sound. Very aggressive and chaotic sounding, but it is a pretty versatile pedal. I go back and forth between the Band of Gypsys fuzz and an If6was9 Fuzz.

+ You want some FUZZ? Run an J. Rockett Archer Ikon on a clean boost setting into a JHS Firefly into a Big Muff and you'll have more fuzz than an all girls junior high school! It's amazing the tones that you can dial in with the 3 pedals stacked together. I stumbled on the set-up when I added the firefly. I had planned on replacing the Muff with the Firefly, as it's such a good Fuzz pedal...... But then I figured since I had room on the board for both pedals, to leave it in place until I needed the space. I'm glad I did!

26:58 Best Part, somehow still has more clarity than a metal zone.

Thanks again, guys.

No rumble from Link Wray ? Probably the first ever song that used fuzz, and till this day the most badass !

Corey Weatherford It doesn't matter what he used, what matters is his sound used on the track, wich undeniably had fuzz to it, Tony Iommi never used fuzz pedals yet there is fuzz in his sound aswell from the laney amp - dallas rangemaster combination, Link Wray claimed he used to punch holes in his amps for the effect, he is probably the reason why the fuzz effect exists.

The square wave is rather smooth sounding actually, with flat tops and no peaks. Most fuzz tones, like a saxophone will produce a sawtooth wave. Nice history of the fuzz. Thanks

I'm using a fuzz face 68 clone with germanium together with a voxac15c1/ac10c1 and telecaster. Dirty top boost an the FF on full both on gain and volume (just a hair back to get rid of the bumblebee sound). I control everything from my volume and tonecontrols. Sweet sounds all over from clean to fat lead. Almost always on:)

The EHX Good Vibe is a cool option, with photocells as original, but demos don't convince me.... as the Voodoo Lab Micro VIbe, also with photocell but no trem. The MXR is indeed cool and seems to sound great, although not photocells. I must definetly try them! (though the Fulltone seems the one for me...)

This fuzz addict approves. :) Never have enough fuzz. See you on the new channel.

Love you guys! OMG! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

I think you guys have edged into the lead. Nice!

Hey Dan! Big fan of your work. Which Jackson Ampworks amps have you tried? I'm guessing you don't have the one in the video anymore given the video is from 4 years ago. I'd love to hear about your experience.

Absolutely in love with the Pigdog MkII Professional! It's just too expensive for me. Any suggestions on a cheaper alternative?

Sweet! I hope to run into you guys at NAMM!

Love the Matt Bellamy tone with them all on at once, yeah!!

Good God that was awesome!

Check out the Caroline Olympia Fuzz and/or the Caroline Wave Cannon MK I at high gain. Great stuff. I took my big box Rat off the board for the Wave Cannon. And I mean it has a 'Havoc' switch. You can't go wrong. ;)

Great episode! Think it's time for a univibe shoot out! 👍🏽

I love my Muff, one of my favorite things is using it with my looper and overdubbing the same riff 2 or 3 times and suddenly you have a synth line that sounds absolutely nothing like a guitar.

It would be interesting to have an discussion about bias. For example tone loss with a lot of pedals. TheGigRig business models IS pedals put on a rig. Very often straight in to the amp gives best tone.

lol! The horn is awesome

Really monster sounds.you play guitars so cool. which fuzz you used at 2 19 to 2 31 minutes video? thanks bros .

That Strat sounds so damn good.

What's the guitar paradisso thing you have going on with Andertons and Danish Pete I'm curious as to the different formats?

Hope to meet you guys at NAMM!

Proco Rat fuzziest setting is: Distortion maxed and filter at 9. You won't believe how fuzzy it sounds, especially with humbuckers.

27:40 thats the sound of an amplifier begging for mercy or sweet release...

Couldnt find any videos where you covered fuzz and realised they are on this channel not the new one (well not really neww these days). Have either of you tried the Maxon Elements, Im looking for a MKII and its Wind considerably cheaper than alot of them, there is also Fire and Void which seem cool.

I had no idea the Rat was a fuzz. So glad you had a Maestro here. A pedal you might have forgotten was the Boss Heavy Metal pedal.

+1971SuperLead Technically Rat isn't really a fuzz (it is opamp based and uses clipping diodes but so does the Op amp muff) but it gets fuzzy at high gain so can get fuzzy tone but compared to saomething using germanium transistors it isn't quite the same.

@chrislongovids

8 жыл бұрын

+JimijaymesGuitarist I would never classify the Rat as a Fuzz pedal. It's basically a tweaked version of the MXR Distortion+. To disagree with teh video, I'm not sure if I'd call the Big Muff circuit a simple fuzz either. It's got four transistor amplification stages (opamps in some versions), two being diode clipping stages. Compared to Fuzzface circuits which are basically two transistors and some biasing circuitry. I've always considered Big Muff a distortion that can sound fuzzy. The scooped mids are what does it.

CAL NYC Really? A Rat is a tweaked MXR Distortion +? Because I love the Distortion +. I don't feel like the Rat is as dynamic (meaning the distortion fades quickly when rolling off the guitar"s volume) I love a dynamic pedal. Someone tell me what the most dynamic pedal is.

I missed this!:P

All fuzzes on together was the funniest moment in youtube pedal reviews. ever. Mick's face at the end looks like he's just but seriously busted doing something very bad. :)

You should make a video about octave fuzzes!

Thanks heaps :) Been following your channel since day one and I absolutely love it. Oh BTW, I'm a RAT collector and and RAT is both distortion and fuzz. I was waiting for you to dime the distortion knob on it to get into crazy crazy fuzz type unique to RAT. If you keep the distortion low with the volume at 3 or more you are in distortion heaven! But if you keep the volume at noon or 1 o'clock and dime the distortion with the filter at 2~3 you are in fuzz world. Cheers! And please if you can make a video about buffers and also about volume pedals. Where to put the buffers in the chain to help us use the volume pedals (volume pedals usually suck tones! grrr!) without the tone being affected. Thanks again!

What song was that at about 15:30 ? It's been itching at me and I feel like it's a Hendrix song but I just can't remember! It does sound glorious though.

Hey guys, I was looking back through all your videos on Fuzz, trying to find the Fulltone soul bender, but didn't find it. Have you tried it? And is it worth me driving 20 miles to try?Of course you are the standard by which i judge all others. Cheers

a good fuzz tone is shown on you tube, ie a guy who seems to be pulling off a great "Spirit In the sky" riff, playing via some kind of fuzz, through a clock radio alarm :)...a bit like when Dave Davies took a razor blade to his speaker and got the "You Really Got Me" distorted sound :)

Is that a Klon t-shirt! Oh man, I have to get one of those. Hopefully they are not as expensive as the pedal.

you guys gotta check out the original maestro demo record. you will hear it sounding like many horns really well. also check out Otis Reddings version of satisfaction he uses horns for the riff. its very cool... Jonny Hafer Sound Sounds fuzz filters

Hey you guys at Pedal Show! Would you please do a demo of how you can get the Victory V40 1x12 to sound like something that compares with the Marshall JTM45 as a clean base for pedals, and demonstrate it through the angry charlie and OCD?
