Title: I'm bored recommend me a chunky distortion-y fuzz to build
Post by: bass_econo on February 06, 2009, 11:23:10 AM
Looking for something that is chunky muff-like distortion but fuzzy.  This is strat into a clean amp.  Make some recommendations.  I'm not looking for chugga chugga but I was the spectrum to be closer to distortion than fuzz.  Think it noon is right in the middle of distortion and fuzz, then I want something around 10:00 on the distortion side...

  that;s a Fuzzface isn't it ?
  Sounds fine the 1 knob, as long as that tweek is what you want. Ge's?
  To get there, it's possible that BBing or otherwise experimenting with Axis Face might be a good way to start into FF's.
  You don't really need that other knob, as long as your FF and guitar are tweeked so the gain is set at the guitar volume, for finding the tweeks the knob comes in real handy.
