Okay... that TWANG sponsorship was actually hilarious 🤣 Great job Rhett!
I also bought my High Road at a Bros Landreth show - the guy in front of me in the merch queue grabbed the last one, so Joey ripped his off his board after the show and signed it!
is the joke that every fuzz sounds identical? i kid - damn those filter fuzzes sound great.
They really did all sound the same the way he played them
All distrotion sounds the same All hall reverb sounds the same All the compressors sound the same ...you get it now??
Rhett, one of my favourite videos you've done in a while: long-form content, effects-based deep dive, a topic you're clearly passionate about. A very fine Compendium - great job!
Absolutely perfect timing! I'm on the market for a fuzz and your advices are treasure!!! Thank you!
@Rhett. Two thumbs up way up. This format of comparison is good to hear differences. Keep doing it. Great episode really appreciate all the hard work you did. Keep rocking.
I only own a resonator(g9221) and an acoustic. I just watched 40 minutes of fuzz and it was great.
I own a couple of resonators - they are the acoustic version of a fuzz pedal.
I have a buddy who uses an acoustic electric with Fuzz, and every other effect that can pickup the signal. Some stuff doesn’t work, but most effects do. He gets his own unique tone.
got a strat clone and a boss katana mini, i own *no* pedals… and yet here i am!
Great summary Rhett and good to see a wide variety of pedals out there 👍
Fuzz is so cool, thanks for putting this together Rhett.
Great concept, great video. This is so dense it could have been a series
Thank you sir I’ve always wanted to do this. Great show As always.
Heroic Dose of Fuzz nice job, I appreciate the hard work
I love long videos about fuzz. Gives me good additions to my never ending wishlist
Hey Rhett, I'm happy that you've gotten the T.W.A.N.G project up and running! That being said, I would like to propose a joint venture between our foundations. I represent T-P.A.I.N, which is the Tone Paint Addiction Intervention Network. So far we have managed to rehabilitate and provide ongoing therapy and temporary housing assistance for a bunch of guys we found living in a dumpster in the alley behind the Murphy Lab. I look forward to working with you toward a better future for the tone obsessed. 🤘
What an excellent vid... Great work!
Great roundup of all the fuzz you have
Awesome demo Rhett. Thanks. 🎸🎸
I've been on the hunt for a fuzz for a few months. Thanks for the compendium.
Thanks for the shootout Rhett! I'd been looking for a fuzz for a while and the Hoof Reaper just sounds amazing. I will definitely be using your affiliate link!
Yo...this was an undertaking! Way to push through man!
Awesome. Saved for future reference when I am fuzz shopping (again!)
Great video thanks for sharing. I mostly run the new Warm Bender, Foxy tone box octave fuzz, Boss FZ-1w, and Jet Phaser.
That Tone Bender MK1 is magical. Bone crushing fuzz tone
I consider it a completely different monster to what we usually associate 'fuzz' with nowadays. I use my MK1 clone as more of a super distortion just for the meanest tone possible
I have 4 different MK1 clones and they are all very different. The more simple the circuit the more important each component is. Reeves Electro has made a few great examples.
very cool to see/listen to a lot of these, such a lot of work to go over so many! I'll be sticking to my originaol old mojo hand colossus
Great info. Thanks Rhett
This encyclopedia of fuzz is a glorious thing to behold! I feel emotionally drained, but not as much as you after doing all of this in one stretch!!!
Thanks for enduring the pain of all them fuzz pedals. I like the Kangra which wasn't on your list, but you have me thinking about others now. Thx again.
Great insight! Thanks Reth!!!
Great job man. Must have taken you a while to film and make this. Appreciate it alot!
Really tasty playing on this one Rhett! Good shit as always
Not gonna lie, I have missed this kind of content from Rhett. As always, great stuff!
I am not a fuzz guy, but the Mythos Golden Fleece was the first fuzz I connected with. Definitely a great starting ground
I like this style of comparison of a type of pedal. The more the better! It's a good resource if somebody (such as me) is in the market for the next pedal to put on their board.
Great vid!
The individual octave circuit found in the EQD Hoof Reaper was also released as a stand-alone pedal called the Tentacle. For around a hundred bucks you can use it to add an analog octave up to any other dirt pedal as instructed in the video.
Thanks for this Rhett... I've been window shopping lately for a good fuzz. I've been looking at a 76 MKII Octave-Up Fuzz.. very gnarly for the sound I'm looking for
Great video!!! I like the Hiwat Custom Shop. Damn, Reverb here we go....
“what i have access to” while speaking about pedals can be translated to absolutely everything when you’re friend with Josh Scott I guess :’) great video as always ! :)
Dang you, Rhett… !! How I’d LOOOOVE to be there blind testing all of these. Nothing better than immersing into an addictive fuzz tone, but man (goes without saying) is it subjective! You just know when you have what works under your fingers, and when it’s right… it’s REALLY right. Excellent comparison here, with gracious props to the good’ns! I tend to dig a fuzz that I can blend in to a plexi-ish broken clean “chunk”. One that may never leave my board, is the Benson Stonk Box… for its “colored boost” ability and coaxing some articulate “crying”bloom. Also super player dynamic. You can get it cookin, spitty…etc. but it’s magic (to me) lies in its overall pure versatility, BECAUSE of its dynamics. Cheers, Rhett. You’ve successfully injected G.A.S. Into my veins. Great video!!!
Awesome overview! You need to add the KingTone Mini Fuzz v2 to your collection. I’m hooked on it
A very informative Fuzz 101 video for me. I can talk overdrive pedals all day but don’t know boo about Fuzz. Thank you!!
Don't no much about fuzz thanks for the adio,and the visuals.
i put this vid on while working and a few pedals instantly made me take notice. Tone Bender Mark I, Shigaharu, Beetronic Octohive, Valco and all the Gnarly Fuzz's. all of these, instant stank face. great vid, super fun. i think my Fav's of the bunch were either the Shigaharu or CROM. both just had it. idk what "it" is, but they got it.
I love fuzz! so many great choices!
I just got my Sola Sound Tone Bender Professional MKII from being on Macaris wait list last week. So far it is my favorite even over my Boss TB-2W Tone Bender. I paid a lot of money but damn they are very good.
It's reassuring to see someone with even more fuzz pedals than I have. It makes my addiction not look so bad!
Thanks Rhett!
Great vid! One of my favorite fuzzes is the ever snarly Jordan Bosstone. Famously filters out bass frequencies, but great 60s psychedelic sound. Built my own for 25 bucks; great at pulling in AM radio, too! (KMA makes a Fuzzly Bear, Bosstone circuit but with added components to add back in some bass.)
Amazing video. After watching it all I think I’m gonna save up for the TAR PEDAL or Beestronics. Thanks again
So this is really cool and it should be a series all on its own but with other effects pedals
The first Boss sounds great
This is sick😲
I have an old Morley - Power Wah Fuzz, and a Mojo Hand - Iron Bell. Very cool video.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to demo all of those. It was entertaining to watch. I’ve got one for you. perhaps you’ve tried A Very Special Twosome made by BLACKOUT EFFECTORS? If not, I highly recommend it, could be your favorite.
Rhett, curious if you’ve tried the Jackson Audio fuzz? I’ve had one for a couple years as well do all since it’s got the modules you can swap out for different fuzz circuits along with an active 3 band eq and the footswitchable octave circuit. I like to use that for a similar thing to your eqd hoof reaper. Just throwing it out there for any others that might be curious about a bunch of different fuzz types with out breaking the bank. Love the video and content, keep it up man
Awesome video, Rhett! You have to try Tru-fi pedals! Tons of different types of fuzz pedals. I love my two face!
Nice to see Jext Telez repped, Bob makes great stuff.
Great vid man,thank a lot,getting into fuzz and this helped out a lot!! What 3 single coil guitar is that your playing?
I literally was watching some of your earlier fuzz videos to figure out my next fuzz. You’re like the new Google listening to me 😆 side note: good to see you looking healthy again, we can see you’ve lost a lot of weight
You had me at Fuzz. TYVM Rhett.
Tyvm-thank you video mainstreeming,rett
thanks rhett. you made me wanna buy another fuzz pedal
My voodoo labs super fuzz wasn’t working for several years. Took it apart and cleaned pots, etc…, and now as of last week it’s working and in my board. Sounds amazing and stacks well with other pedals
once again ... thanks for your amazing work - great collection!
Rhett, those riffs sound like Big Sugar! Nice!
I'm 58. Been playing guitar since 16. I got my first fuzz pedal about two years ago. I feel like i missed out on so much for so many years.
It's so important to raise the awareness of tonewood and T.W.A.N.G is the real deal, so happy to see Rhett is an advocate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the Ediquip 1027A is the best fuzz!.
Awesome video! I use EHX OpAmp and so far my favorite!!
I love how there's still the price tag on the Masco amp you bought over a year ago !
Hey rett how are you I hope you and your all the families of youtube are well,what you're playing is amazing,wiplash,man,wiplash.
Great video, can’t wait for the Klone Compendium. 50 Klone Clean boosts back to back to back
Lmaoooo you know they'll be people in the comments like "the centura is a little woodier than the ryra but the ktr just has THAT mojo...mmm tasty" or some blues lawyer boomer stuff like tht
For me I could've saved you some time. I would agree the boss pedal will take care of fuzz on a day to day basis for a gigging musician. There are some cool ones out there and thanks for taking the time to share.
So much food for thought... my first pedal as a kid was an orange/blue treadle Univox Super Fuzz. I sold it in '82 as I couldn't get it to make me sound like Pete Townshend; the Internet and DVD's would later show me that is THE pedal of Live at Leeds. I bought the Guyatone TZ2, but the rubber grommet is gone. Keeley made the Electric Mudd which is his version but a 4 knob for more control, but 6 Fairchild transistors gets octave fuzz and wacky beyond.... I just got a Tru-Fi ColorDriver, which is their update on the Coloursound Boost - with a master volume. sounds amazing into an overdrive or an amp that's breaking up. If you only have a clean amp, try putting an overdrive after your fuzz - much different sound that's usually better. Also have a Keeley Fuzz Head, but I need another Fuzz. We all do...
Hoof Reaper catched my eye by its versatility. Also love DBA Fuzz war.
Thank you for your service ! 😂
Awesome collection! I think you should check out the Fuzz God IV from Red Witch. Huge sound, bias control that can gate your sound to nothing, optional octave switch, self oscillating if you want, it is so versatile I will proselytize about it every chance I get. 🙂
My first ever pedal at age 18 was a used Vox Tone Bender Mk II. I had no idea what I had and sadly let it go years later when it stopped working. Now at age 66 I have an Earthquaker Hoof and a one knob Fjord Fuzz with octave option. Quite different but both recommended!
Ooft, the amount of work that must have gone into this!! Some great sounding fuzzes in there, some of the best were some of the most affordable too!! (I'm looking at you, EHX Ripped Speaker)
Rhett, first off, my hats off to you taking on such a wide ranging subject at fuzz. I would like to start the "What about this pedal" thread with my favorite one, the Maestro Fuzz-tone FZ+M That Gibson has recently reintroduced. I mean, how can we talk about Fuzz tone with the one that brought us "I can't get no satisfaction?" (well at least the original version did) I bet you friends at Gibson would send you one to try out.
The riff you play often, could you do an explainer or share tabs on it? So amazing.
I love my mid 90s first gen prescription electronics yardbox
That JHS 3Series Fuzz is very good, at any price, and versatile.
This needs a ‘warning may cause GAS’ notice on it. Some great sounding fuzzes in this.
I got really scared that he was going to play the same riff for 40 minutes. Nice video rhett
I have owned a couple of these in recent past and wound up with the Statesboro Bluesman Duo fuzz pedal from Missing Link Audio. Most versatile I have ever played.
I used to hate Fuzz. But then I got an Analogman Sun Face, and everything changed. Now I have numerous. The Sun Face is still up there, but I also adore the Wolf Note Over Fuzz pedal from Midnight 30. Very small maker, but insanely versatile fuzz tones covering a huge range.
Wow, great video! Curious as to which one of these pedals or one you didn't list would most mimic the fuzz tone from the old Kustom 68-70 K200 A-4 model, on the amp its called a "Harmonic Clipper" that has the fuzz as used by John Fogerty, CCR? Very unique sound, the amp also has a "Selective Boost" much like frequencies you'd get from an old Fuzzwah pedal but its on a switch instead of the variable pedal. Man, if that pedal also had the same vibrato as the Kustom A-4 it would be the end all pedal, in my mind anyway, lol
Awesome drum track
Looking forward to the tube screamer compendium! 😂
Love the lizard queen!
I've been in the pedal game a long time but am relatively new to fuzz. I was slow to appreciate it. First was Amptweaker Tight fuzz which has a wide range. Newest fuzz is the Stewmac Sun Fuzz which I built with bc183 transistors instead of the bc108s. I love it! Now I'm interested in no less than 5 other fuzzes
your humor is so deadpan its impressive, ive realized that when i have to stop and say "wait... wtf?" ive heard the punchline. also, i'll throw my guess into the ring on pronunciation; de-scry; scry - To see or predict the future by means of a crystal ball . perhaps if your clairvoyance is a bit fuzzy you may fail your attempt to scry, or if you ignore the future all together. you said tone bender right?
My bass, tuned down to D, with the clean into my Ampeg and the Fuzz War into my Orange Thunderverb 200 is one of my all time favorite sounds.
Hey Silver Fox! Love the natural color. I bet Tilly does too.
wow i need this, still haven't found my fuzz yet
Hi Rhett thanks for this awesome video! What do you think about Swollen Prickle by Way Huge?
Thanks mate. That's quite a haul. nTo me, a lot of them sounded similar but obviously you can't do the tweaks on them all. I got a TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz for cheap. I like it.
great video as always!! What do you think of Eurekea from jam pedals? i really trust your opnion on this. if you see this comment of cours haha. cheers much love and always love your videos!
Glad to see the fuzz war in the mix! Lately I’ve been loving the fuzz lands pedal by Wonderful Audio Technology. This thing covers a ton of fuzzy bases from pretty tame to full on spitty, gnarly destruction. Highly recommend!
Wow great sounds!! What do you think about memory man pedal effect? You could make a video;)
Can you upload that drum break somewhere or even a pay what you want link, would love to play over it. So fire! Half way through the vid, I'm subbed on another page dw.
I've found my perfect fuzz in the Catalinbread Giygas! I think the blend knob is way underrated on fuzz pedals
I have an old Big Muff and a newer small one, I use my MXR silicone fuzz and one of JHS series 3 Fuzz....Thanks Rhett
