Fuzz me.

LordOxygen

I'd like to add a fuzz pedal to my pedal board. Something that will get to close to Clapton's sound on Sunshine of your love. I know he was using a cranked Marshall etc, but there must be a pedal out there that produces a similar sound 

<£100 new or good condition used, is fine.

What should be on my short list please?

(fwiw I have a EH Soul Food, Metal muff and a Boss DS1, I've played about with them all and can't really get near.)

Cheers

Wampler Velvet fuzz?

EHX Germanium 4 Muff, loads of fuzzy vintage drive sounds and well under budget.

I bought a velvet fuzz an it's awesome as a "fuzz into cranked amp" sound and does a neat sunshine tone when rolled back ... But then I bought a distortron and it nails the cream era Clapton sound when set to higher gain levels.... Should be gettable under budget 2nd hand

Thanks guys, the Velvet fuzz sounds really good (on youtube). Bit too spendy new, it's only to play about with at home.

Will check out the distortron and the EHX 4 muff.

Check out the EQD Hoof and Tone Reaper, Arc Effects Big Green Pi, Greer Batch O Ass or consider uping your budget for the really versatile Death By Audio Apocalypse!

Not a bad pedal out of the lot!







Oh wait these are all pedals I've got listed in the classifieds

For sunshine tones go old school silicon rather than germ. Check out maestro fuzz tone clones and mosrite fuzzrite clones, they'll get you very close to that trebly tone

  For classic rock tones, I LOVED the Fulltone '69 Fuzz.   I didn't specifically try to get any EC tones from it, but it did scream 60's/70's rock. 

  To my ear, it couldn't sound any more different than my Swollen Pickle- which is a lot more rough sounding.  The '69 sounds more like a screaming cranked amp.  The bonus is, it's a regular sized pedal, with the sockets in the normal spots.   Downside is, it needs a specific power supply.  ( I don't remember which- center positive or negative- just that it's the opposite of the norm...)

  Played through a Blues Deluxe with an LP, and the fuzz turned all the way up made me sound like a RAWK star.  What a roar!!

  Still kicking myself for not buying it.  ( it was used, and cheap!)
