Hello!
I am a musician from Toronto! I like making music and building+experimenting with cool guitar effects. I share bits of guitar advice and philosophy with those looking to level up guitar playing and music creation. I also enjoy building up smaller artists with my indie artist feature series and curating Spotify playlists to spread their music/other music I enjoy. I use my online presence to spread a sense of wonder about guitar and the endless possibilities of sound. Hope you enjoy!

Fuzz seems like a specific use thing, it could sound good under the right pretenses. Overdrive and distortion are pretty good for anything grittier.
based on the backing track, the fuzz tone fits nicely..
They all have there place of course. I think fuzz is more experimental and doesn’t fit as many genres but I would rather have only a fuzz pedal then overdrive or distortion, I just love the way it sounds!

You can dial in some nice general use tones on a fuzz. I use one as an overdrive/distortion and it hits all the high gain spots I want to hit without cranking the amp too loud for the audience.

My man have you ever heard obituary, or any old school death metal bands for that matter? They used more fuzzy distorted sounds often. Also nobody that isnt a musician even likes djent tone outside of meshuggah fans but they own it better. The excessive midrange of djent sounds like shit on any decent PA system and there's no bass presence in their mixes so it's pretty lame overall.

A decent od or distortion and a solid tube amp will always be the most diverse but fuzz always has the unique punch/flare factor
That’s the best example for the practical applications for all 3 pedals, you did it just right.

i mean it’s what i do
I use an overdrive and a fuzz peddle in my chain. I find when set up just so, you can get distortion without sounding too much like it’s constituent parts when combined together but still strong enough to stand alone when required.
The fuzz seems to add more harmonic overtones, which sound stupid cool.

definitivamente el fuzz es un god en los solos sin duda me lo compro
On this solo your overdrive tone hits the spot...in other contexts I quite like fuzz too...I don't use distortion-classed pedals.
All of them sound awesome!
dude i love that fuzz pedal, did you make it yourself?
Depois dizem que o Fuzz não serve, mas depende de cada situação
Oooooo that’s tough. Honestly. I love how fuller the sounds are and how they hold their tone so I’d say fuzz did the best of that along with adding some stank. Close second to dis
Bravo! Plus you make all the proper guitar faces.

Overdrive for me, followed by Distortion. Though I never have my overdrive's drive knob lower than halfway. I like the sound of a good cranked overdrive when it's almost reaching Distortion level tones. Fuzz is a no no for me. Too harsh, rarely sounds good to my ears.

I like the fuzz. When I was younger I didn’t like it at all. Then I thought I’d buy one and try it. Now if you turn it up and have your guitar volume all the way up it’s a no no. To messy and very muddish. I turn the gain to about 3 o’clock and then use my guitar volume to manipulate the tone and it sounds really good. Kinda they way Hendrix did I believe and all the old boys
The overdrive and distortion together it’s gonna change your life

Lol I feel that same way. Just don't really dig pure distortion as much anymore. Obviously depends on a number of factors - the specific pedal, the guitar, the amp, the amp's speaker, pairing with other pedals. I'm not gonna rule it out, because someone could show me a really cool tone that they crafted at least in part using some distortion, in a sick track, with fantastic production and engineering. But personally? I would prioritize drive and fuzz for sure. I have a RAT for distortion, and I like it, but there are a few overdrives and fuzzes I would trade the RAT for in a heartbeat lol Edit: part of the reason I still have the RAT is that it dials up to a pssudo-fuzz decently well, and it pairs pretty well with my AC15. But I could take an OCD or Blues Driver over it.
Distortion sounds too “cold” to me (probably coz this is a Boss pedal), fuzz is obviously above all those 3

I really do not like that distortion pedal, it just sounds almost like you're playing a Sawtooth, which sawtooths can be great, it's just not the sound I want to hear coming out of my guitar.
That fuzz is creamy
Reverb & Chorus, of course. But wah is also tempting
the way you play this makes distortion very appealing to me. now i know what to buy lol
Combine distortion and fuzz. It’s perfect.
It’s more about the mix than the sound on its own. The fuzz worked well with this mix…
In my opinion, i like distortion the most. It sounds really cool
All of them on a board. You can even stack them for some crazy tones. Ds1 with a fuzz face through a lightly overdriven marshall is godly. Neck pickup, single coil.
It just kept getting better
To me, the sound gets progressively better
Matt Bellamy heard fuzz and only said: yes
Only non guitarists would not be able to tell the difference
The DS-1 sounds great to me like even like it plugged direct in in the right context.
I want this Fuzz. Very cool.
They all sound good ! The overdrive sounds like Eric Clapton !!! Nice job !😁👍
Depends on the song, the genre, and the player. They all have their moment.

First of all… that guitar and strap are gorgeous. Second… nice demonstration.
for this riff overdrive. typically id choose distortion or fuzz but id say its genre dependant
The Boss SD-1 was my first pedal and will always be my favorite pedal.
