Title: Looking for the ugliest/most insane Fuzz
Post by: palomorado on February 24, 2005, 11:35:05 AM
looking for a schematic for a fuzz that outdoes the SWOLLEN PICKLE, FUZZ FACTORY, and MACHINE pedals.

whacked out fuzz for days with lots of self oscillating.

thanks!

Insane Real fuzz or Distortion ?


Caos is very agressive distortion ( Mark Hammer ) Fuzzy sound
Smash Drive Killer version have heavy distortion ( Aron Nelson ) not Fuzzy

Escobedo's Ugly Face gives you the ugliest buzzsaw noises with oscillating.

Also, I've found the PWM to be pretty f***ed up sound once you get the sweet spot. It won't oscillate as much but it sounds like there's a barbwire instead of the guitar amp. I don't know if a barbwire would make any sound but if it would, it'd sound like that.   :)

A fuzzface-like circuit with CMOS and/or J201s pretty good....

You could mess with this http://www.runoffgroove.com/multiface.html

How much definition are you looking for?

It's hard to outdo the Fuzz Factory... but I have heard some good things about Joe Gagan's "Skyripper Fuzz".

With single coils and a fuzz factory, you can also get some interesting kazoo sounds just by moving the gate control with some of the other controls.... it's truely a unique box for what it does....

Ugly Face, Crash Sync, Dirty Bird, Dirty Sanchez, Univox Super Fuzz, Buzz Box, Octave Up Sick Fuzz, and PWM, just to name a few. Most of the Octave Up fuzzes fall in that category. The Tychobrahe and Foxx Tone machine are among those for sure. As you've heard, the Ugly Face is among the most extreme and varied, Dirty Bird & PWM are in the same vein. It really depends on what you want, and what you consider Ugly. The Ugly Face and Crash Sync are definitely self oscillatiing.

I add the TMK (too many knob). 6 knobs allows for positive feedback, octave up, xover distortion (?), imput Z, gain/colour...

you should check out 4ms pedals. they go into some pretty chaotic realms.I think this is the vibe. I am, going to build the noise swash after the chorus pedal. Late. jb
