@@stanislavmigra Yes, I actually have a tubescreamer. Occasionally I find the sound to my liking, but since building my fuzz pedal and Bluesbreaker pedal I've noticed all the same problems with it that Rhett described in one of his last videos. I've basically not really used my TS-9 more than like twice this past couple years, so I'll either mod it or sell it and build something (subjectively) better.

My take on Fuzz. I started playing guitar in 1960, played Chet, The Ventures and sang etc. Used guitar clean for years. Bought my first (and only Fuzz pedal) in late'66. It's a Gibson Maestro Fuzz-Tone. During that period I played through a Black Face Pre-CBS Fender, Super Reverb. I have owned many amps, but that is still my Go-To Amp. The last band I was in was called The Coelacanths, in 2005. Me, my original drummer and bass player from the band I was in when I bought the Fuzz-Tone and various other members gigged for about 3 years. I love fuzz. I have never needed any other Fuzz pedal. All I ever have to do is put in a new battery when needed. I don't understand why someone wouldn't like that sound. It was used sparingly and appropriately, when a song needed it only. I no longer gig but we Jam still, and I still use that pedal and amp.

Awesome to see you go more in depth about guitar volume effecting tone. People never bring it up online but it's a massive difference maker!

From the very first time I heard Spirit in the Sky, fuzz has been my favorite guitar effect. Now that I'm learning to play I use it as much as possible. Thanks for the insight into how many ways fuzz can be applied in a track.

Rhett, I loved the production at the beginning. That was one of the coolest ones I’ve seen you do. Great job!

You're the one who introduced me to why I needed a Fuzz pedal on my board a year or more ago. Still wanting a Mythos fuzz

This video helps me to make an amazing fuzz sound for the first time. Thanks Rhett.

Fuzz Addict here! I got my first fuzz 12 years ago; It was an MXR MC 402, which is called a boost/overdrive, but is based on the Freddie Fuzz. The next two were the EWS Fuzzy Drive, then the Retro Channel The Fuzz, which is a Mk. 2 ToneBender 'clone'. This past weekend I put the Retro Channel on the board again and it was Awesome! It works well with humbuckers, but singles work just as well. I have a reissue EH Ram's Head that is really good too. Great video!

This is a great and easy to follow demonstration of some of the Cool things you can do with a fuzz and how to do it. Thanks, RS

Good review Rhett! I actually learned something about my pedal! This is my first visit and I will subscribe and poke through some of your earlier videos for info on my other pedals. Thanks!

Really well written video covering the nuances of fuzz for the uninitiated and practical demo + tips - nice work!!

Six months ago I was one of those guitar players we never really “got“ fuzz and I’ve been playing for over 20 years. Used a lot of hi-gain Marshall amps live over the years and considered that pop-punk rock tone to be my home base. Needless to say, I’ve recently acquired a jhs 3-series fuzz after realizing I wanted to build a new pedalboard and expand my tonal palette and now I’ve been looking to buy an EHX op-amp fuzz to get the Billy Corgan pumpkins sound. That modern fuzz sound. Before I got a chance to buy that pedal I saw this lovely thing pop up a few days ago and I immediately ordered it from SweetWater mi utes after learning that it existed, mostly because I know how things sell out nowadays and I didn’t want to miss this pedal. I “get” fuzz now and use it when jamming with my brother all the time now. It’s one of my favorite types of distortion. It’s just so cool and chewy. Of course I’m also in deep with pedals now, having recently bought a photocell univibe and the new mxr deep phase. I must be trying to channel my inner-hendrix subconsciously….

Great tips! Don't be afraid! Making friends with fuzz is easier if you understand what it is. When you gently overdrive a tube amp (edge of breakup) you tend to get even-order harmonics, which are essentially stacked octaves. This doesn't add much dissonance, so doesn't need to impact what you play. But when you hard clip, especially with most solid state gain stages, you get square waves, which stack ODD-order harmonics. This is good for making single notes sound more like power chords, but since it's adding 5ths etc, it gets ugly fast if you hit it with complex intervals, especially thirds. You can use fuzz comfortably dialed back, as Rhett demonstrates beautifully here, or use it to brighten & enrich simple lines & punchy rhythms. Less is more, listen and adjust.

You really coax great Tone out of Fuzz pedals. Always benefit from watching your walk-through posts. There’s a huge squishiness that doesn’t always come through in other demos? Fuzz is so interactive, that I think a lot of players get thrown off? You have really helped me to TOTALLY get into Fuzz. I LOVE it! Way more than “ordinary” High Gain. There’s a FILTHINESS that you can ONLY get from Fuzz!

Finally!!! Thank you Boss for for choosing to finally release this and thank you Rhett for making this video.

Very impressive intro Rhett, what a amazing approach to the solo, really enjoyed this one man

Very informative. Thanks for showing how different types of guitars require setting adjustments. Off to work on my LP fuzz settings…

I agree with you... my favourite pedal is fuzz... This video helps me a lot cause I have just learnt all you talked about and wondered if I was doing it right.. Thanks great video Rhett.

The trick is finding the right amp and fuzz combination. Then keep the amp at a level that you can control the fuzz tone through the volume on the guitar.

Great video as always. Longtime Boss FZ-3 user which appears to be the inspiration for the design of the FZ-1w. I preordered the FZ-1w immediately when it was announced without even watching a video. Now I’m assured I made a great purchase decision.

Great video on fuzz! My first distortion type pedal was a muff fuzz in 1980. I loved that pedal and after a few years it stopped working and unfortunately, I moved away from fuzz into regular distortion pedals. However, I've circled back around to fuzz pedals again and after seeing this video I'm excited to get the Boss Fuzz pedal that you are showcasing. Thanks for the great explanation into the various uses for fuzz!

Amazing production. Thanks man

The opening jam was fantastic! Bravo good sir!

A Fuzz Face type circuit is a great place to start.. Super versatile and not overwhelming, but the volume knob is key! 👍 I think my favorite fuzz pedal is the VFE Fuzz Duo though.. It has both switchable germanium & silicon transistor options, so it pretty much does everything. 😎

Hi Great Video Rhett! I like that you did not simply run through the pedal characteristics just like many others will do (which is always useful don't get me wrong). But it is nice that you instead show how to use it for those who have difficulties handling them (I am one of them). Also it looks to me like a great alternative to all those who could not get a TB-2w. Hopefully this one will be in the same price range as other Wazza Craft;

yeeeeeeeeah, i really missed the intro tracks, you are just so good and the tracks are fantastic.

I used to not like fuzz pedals but that changed a couple of months ago. Fuzz pedals are great. They respond differently every type of pickups more so than any other drive pedal. Also beware that there are too many weird sounding ones as well. One thing i don't understand is the weirder they get the more expensive they become. Start with a big muff or fuzz face type of pedal, you can't go wrong with those.

your video was very helpfull Thank you! Love the Intro

I love the tones on this pedal! Dying to hear a demo on bass

The video work from Chris just makes everything look so cool

Love the opening track!! cool stuff

very nice intro jam! I love the electrified acoustic sound and the drums sounded super good! Also the second section caught me off guard, and is the final straw that caused me to make this comment. Cheers!

Rhett's demo was good, but the demo on the Boss channel is one of the best demo's I've seen on any pedal.

Man, I don't what you played in the beginning, but that was awesome !!!

7:04 onwards... I think that guitar and the fuzz pedal were makeing love!! ;-) That Novo Serus J floors me (in a good way!) every time I hear it played. It may look a bit strange but it's definitely my favourite of all the guitars Rhett plays.

Very informative!

I just bought this pedal and it is amazing. Quiet and the most versatile fuzz I’ve ever used. The best imo ! I put mine after wah in the chain of effects. It can get as dirty as you want and cleans up really good when you roll the volume off. Great tips in your video.. Thanks for sharing!

The intro reminded me of “High” by Tripping Daisy. Awesome video.

Nice opening track Rhett! Would be great to get a vid on how you put these together (if you havent) postprocessing/drum programing etc.

Woah, this changed my mind

Great demo and advice 👍🏻

Hi Rhett. Excellent video. Thanks to you and a few other channels I finally took the plunge and bought a mini Fuzz Face (red) and it's now on my rather minimal board as an always on pedal. I just use the guitar volume pot to get what I need out of it as a when. After the fuzz I just have a compressor and a klon-clone overdrive in that order. I run the lot into the UAFX Ruby and out into Logic. I can't recommend fuzz highly enough. Many thanks again for giving me a different way to think about this effect and do something genuinely new (for me at least).

I fell into the "don't know what to do with fuzz and kinda scared camp" - now I actually have some fuzz options I really like its interaction with guitar volume and turning back the guitar volume and layering it on an amp at the edge of break up creates a really nice OD tone which is more my bag (I layer all my dirt/distortion over amp breakup) Oh, and please do a video on the TripleGraph.

very cool intro w the tape clip!

I own a fz2 since the 90's and love it!

Killer opening track. I wouldn't have expect something like that out of you, so thank you for surprising me!

You've definitely peaked my interest in fuzz now... you did an earlier video I remember featuring the JHS series of fuzz pedals and that video helped me realize that I was a fan of the Tone Bender circuit. Now I haven't yet used it but it's definitely on my list of new gear. I can't say that I ever "hated" fuzz but it's clear I just didn't understand it and most likely just associated it with stoner rock or doom metal which wasn't my thing... but the context of using it the way you've explained in this video definitely makes me want one now...cheers

Cool video. Maybe do a part two where you go deeper with more examples of the ways you can use it in a band setting to fill in like you talked about. I could have used this in the 90’s for my band PEEL which was heavy grungy drop d territory. We were a trio with me as singer. With this I could have done single note lines but have it sound fuller. Great tip.

I think I might just use this as a saturation pedal to back up my box of war as a serious distortion box. Thanks for the awesome tip Mr. Shull!

A video for the big muff would be great it’s such an amazing fuzz

gotta say that opening jam was just AWESOME

Rhett, sweet tones man! I’m a fellow fuzz lover! Just got a Fulltone 69 (basically a modded FF) love it!!

Rhett, you have managed to get me over to the Fuzz-side of life. Got a Way Huge Swollen Pickle MK II recently and I love it. Very flexible and less knarly then other Fuzzes

Another great video Rhett.

Ya Rhett, I’m one of those people that don’t even think about using a fuzz. After this video tho, the different ways you showed using it, man….. I wanna try these! Great vid bro. Cheers!

I’m not into the really high gain fuzz sounds but enjoy using a fuzz for low gain sounds in a swampy blues context. I know it’s not transparent but I think fuzz can add loads more character than an overdrive (especially the TS 😉). Great video Rhett.

Big fan of the clean boost example. I've actually used that for hi-gain metal. RAT pedal through a Marshall 2203. Slayer becomes Carcass.

You made the right call using a strat for the fuzz demo

Some people say: "your first pedal must be an overdrive", whereas I recommend a fuzz as first pedal.
