  • People sometimes ask what my favorite pedal of all time is, which is impossible to say. So instead Im going to narrow it down to my favorite categories of pedals starting with Fuzz, these are some of my favorite fuzz pedals of all time. These are the pedals I reach for first when going for a fuzz tone on a gig or a session, and I couldn't do without them.

      If you look at Leonardo da Vinci's painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel..god reaches out and touches man's finger. If you look really close that man has a Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz Tone clutched in his other hand. So a few hours talking Fuzz pedals can not be treated lightly :-)

One that I've been having tons of fun with lately is Walrus Audio's Kangra Filter Fuzz. Didn't make your list, but man... I'm really blown away by it! Especially flexible and versatile when using an expression pedal with it. Great for filtering other effects and for stacking gain stages. Great video and tones as always... cheers!

    My favorite fuzz box is the Maestro FuzzStain. I bought this for $50 in 1978 (my SG Studio was $400 at the same time). It has a Sustain, Soft, and Hard, with a Drive selector wheel (0-10), and a Volume wheel (also 0-10) that acts like a Boost. And it has a bypass. I love the tone on this pedal and have for 43 years.

    Great video as always! I'd love to see a series of your favourite stuff.
    Btw, check out some German boutique pedal builders, there's great stuff over here as well (Demon Pedals, Orion Effekte, KMA Audio Machines,...)
