Fuzz Pedals

[SpiderWars]

Just finished this one using NOS germanium transistors I bought from a military surplus store a long time ago. I’m kind of new to fuzz, just never dug the tone. But they sure are fun to play. I have an Analogman HG germanium and this one has less gain but way more of a voice.

Those are pickguard screws holding the board down.

I've owned quite a few fuzzes and love Cornell The 1st Fuzz. They're loaded with NKT275's and I always felt they flew under the radar.

Unfortunately I sold an Analogman Sun Lion with stock White Dot NKT275's years back. That one was killer too, hence the cost of a kidney now.

I'd highly recommend The 1st Fuzz if you can find it for a reasonable price.

The new Walrus Audio EONS is probably the most versatile fuzz to date. It can cop any style fuzz you're looking for and then some. Also I 100% endorse @braintheory suggestion of the Dano French Toast. That thing is completely insane nasty, which the EONS can cop as well.

It's pretty intense when layered with high gain heads. (Diezel Herbert as a layer)

Good tune

Just finished initial assembly of a BC183 silicon fuzz using the Eric Johnson signature fuzz values or at least close. Still needs a battery holder and some sort of labeling. I like the raw look.

I'm down to about 60 of them. I had about 150. Owned about 350.
If you want a good one that isn't real expensive check out a DOD Carcosa.
If you want one that does a bit of everything get a Zvex Fat Fuzz Factory.
If you want simple and just sounds good get a Fulltone 70's pedals.

There is lots of other good ones. But since fuzz is pretty much anything that isn't a overdrive or distortion it covers a huge range.

The Fulltone is a great fuzz. I had an early 70’s I wish I hadn’t sold.

My Gjika fuzz is pretty stellar though I must say.
