Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2021
- 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.

"talking about fuzz for an hour and a half wouldn't work for UA-cam"
That Pedal Show entered the chat.
They can do an hour on just one boost pedal. Some say crazy..I say that's entertainment.
@@mattgilbert7347 damn right. Probably my favorite two guitar nerds on UA-cam.
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 :-)
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing Michelangelo. Not Da Vinci.
@@dannycarbona You are talking about the big painting in that one the guy is clenching his fist. I talking about the very small painting in the corner :-)
please feel free to make as many 20-minute videos as you need to go through every fuzz you own! I for one would happily watch an hour and a half of that but I also recognize that I'm insane.
Things on Rhett’s “you can never have too many…” list:
1) Fuzz pedals
2) Novo guitars
3) Any amp that isn’t a Fender black or silver face
Missing out on those sounds
You don’t like Jerry or srv or allman bros?
Fender Blue JR is a good amp for pedals
Black panel Fenders are my favorite, just not what Rhett seems to gravitate towards, hence the way the comment is structured.
@Not In The Box I don’t think he’s ever said anything knocking those amps. But he definitely has a thing for amps with gain. Also a lot of people know what fenders sound like (clean and loud) his channel is more about teaching people about gear than showing you his favorites all the time
if this was a promo for that beetronics pedal, well done because im sold
That sounded the best to me too.
That laugh at 5:00 is exactly why everyone should own at least one fuzz. They're raw, crazy and pure joy to play around with.
I yearn for the day when we can finally see an end to this slide tone war between Josh and Rhett. Far too many a string hath broken, far too many a glass, shattered.
I hope the war never ends. It makes me laugh - I know it's all just a nerdy joke.
To be serious for a moment, the way Rhett, Josh, Rick Beato, Keith Williams, Dave Onorato and others all lend their expertise to each other to make all of their channels better is an inspiration.
Only the chosen one can bring balance to the world: Derek Trucks.
Congrats! You are a natural for this format - glad you are able to support you and your family with this side of the music industry. I don't think many would have imagined 10+ years ago when UA-cam started that so much would shift to it, but you do a great job educating, and entertaining.
Sounding huge as always Rhett! ✌🏻🤘🏻
We need a collab between you two!!
@@maxchristofferson I agree
Thanks man!!
Awesome guitarists !!
Collab coming?
Can’t believe your sola sound bender didn’t make the cut. Literally the best sounding fuzz I’ve heard you play. Ever.
Love the summary and demos. Dig the idea of a “favorites” series. And congrats on the house!
My favorite: Beetronics Octahive. Fantastic octave fuzz. Others I really like: JHS Muffaletta (covers lots of Muff territory), Earthquaker Black Ash, and the recent Spaceman Sputnik III.
So glad that I tuned into this video, cuz the slow burns through fuzzies and timies are my JAM, and you nailed that shit so nicely.
Nice choices. Grwat job demoing these. I love Fuzz pedals. Just made one under Might Be Famous and happy we did. Great sound!
Please do many, many episodes like this! You have a wonderful touch and obviously know how to get great tones - there is a surprising range of sounds coming out of these pedals. I am yet to buy my first fuzz pedal other than what is onboard the MS3, I feel like my eyes have been opened here. And great news about the house!
What amazing sounds and songs. This was one of those videos where it was all about the playing and listening.
I love how you make the video so entertaining to watch, good job😁
"All Time Favorite," is for sure a series I'd be interested in watching
Thanks Rhett, this is a great selection of fuzz pedals. Keep these videos coming.
Your channel rocks Rhett. Love your fuzz choices. Please make a comparison video of each fuzz strenghts vs the others. It will be a fuzz delight treat. Congrats on your new home enjoy life.
Rhett is such a guitarist that he turns the bass down in the mix even when he’s playing the bass 😂 Love your videos dude
You always have the coolest guitars! And I love everything I've heard from BeeTronics
Love hearing your pedal picks, they're always good but different from a lot of the stuff we usually see on UA-cam!
great video on fuzz pedals, would love to see it made into a series! Also would be awesome to see a beginning to end video on setup of the studio in the new house. Congrats on the home!
Dude! This is some of your best playing. The echo stuff and the very first thing you played were mint. Keep up the tunes man.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT! PLEASE DONT STOP UPLOADING- ITS HELPING ME DURING MY REHAB
Def like the idea of the top 5 series and would love to see it. Good luck with the move!
I was never much into fuzz until the Red Witch Fuzz God IV. Love that dang pedal and it's made me want to dive deeper into fuzz.
Congrats on the new home!
I was ready for this to be a mini-series. PLEASE do!!!!! Love from Akron. HOME OF EARTHQUAKER. (best pedals ever)
Congrats to you and your wife on the new digs, and yes, more videos like this please....👍🏼
LOVE Beetronics!
Have the Swarm and the Royal Jelly.
Vezzpa sounds like a must have. Put me on the list. Sounds phenomenal!
Congrats Rhett, and thanks for all of the great content.
Great video.
Congratulations on the success and new home Rhett - it is well earned! I sincerely appreciate all your great content. Take care man!
There are so many great fuzz units available now compared to when I bought my first Big Muff Pi in the early to mid 70's. 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!
Absolutely turn this into a series please!
I guess it’s testament to my geekdom that the thing I choose to comment on is your fabulous impression of Josh, well done!
Congrats on the new home!! Keep going with the favorite pedal theme.
Thank you for taking the time to thank us. We all appreciate the effort you make to create informative, educational, inspirational content for us guitar nuts!
Great Post! I think I could watch a whole hour of Fuzz! Over drives, echoes...great idea for a Series
Great vid and playing Rhett as always. Congrats to you and your wife and the new home !!!
Intoxicating tones, as usual.. another great upload, Sir Rhett! Congrats on the new home/studio! If I lived locally, I'd offer to help with the move and set up..
Sending peace & love from Missouri -Todd
You deserve everything, Rhett. Keep on the great work.
Regards from Spain.
Congrats on the new house... and love the video. Any time folks can talk Fuzz pedals it makes for a good video
Congrats on the new home, thanks for producing great videos.
And congrats on the house!
Would definetly like to see more Top 5s.
Great idea, keep this series rolling!
Huge congrats on the new home. It’s a great next step, home ownership. The deeper the roots, the sweeter the fruit. And yes, a favorites series would be appreciated and devoured.
Love the Favourite thing. Please make that a series!
Nice timing. I’ve been watching this channel for a couple years. But I’ve wakened to fuzz a couple days ago. Been playing for decades, and never had a fuzz!
I really want to be able to make the always-on-ride-the-volume-knob cleanup and I’m looking for the right entryway pedal
Yes, please make it a series. Awesome video as usual.
Congrats on the new house, good luck with the move (never fun). Great video, nice idea for a series. That Earthquaker sounds awesome. Spiral makes interesting fuzzes too.
Hoof Reaper is great, it's my only fuzz and plenty for me. Can get some great overdrive tones with it as well, and pretty much any classic rock fuzz tones.
Congratulations on the new house!
Rhett, this was a great video. Not only because I found the topic interesting, but I really enjoyed your playing on this video. Wow! How about a video like this on analog delays?
You're half correct on the JHS Cheese Ball, it's a clone of the Lovetone Big Cheese, as in my avatar.
The Lovetone Cheese Source was a 2 in 1 pedal with the Big Cheese fuzz and the Brown Source overdrive pedals in one enclosure.
Really liked the Cissy Strut quote. Great stuff as always.
thanks for taking one step back from the camera so it doenst feel creepy when i watch your videos. also your fuzz tone in this videos is amazing
Some videos of you setting up the new space and what kind of considerations go into that would make for some great and informative content Rhett!
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.
Your smile says it all!!! Love that tone!!!
Congrats on your new home Rhett, we all love you bro !!
Yes please Rhett! Make it a series! And about the home and the new studio, YOU DESERVE IT!
Definitely make it a series Rhett! I’d especially like to see your favorite overdrives!
I see what you did there with the "Cissy Strut" lick!! Very cool man, congratulations for the video!
Congrats to you and your wife on your new home. Hopefully a nicer home than if you were a college or uni lecturer ! You taught us all loads so you well deserve it.
I would love to see your favorite ODs, that's my favorite effect of all time (just as fuzz is yours). Thank you for all the good work.
Yup, I like this format. Keep it going. Top 5 Vibes in the future. Congrats on the new home.
And congrats on the new house. It's always a huge landmark when you finally become a homeowner. Best of luck to you both.
Congrats on the new house! 🎉🏡 Can’t wait to see the new pad’s home studio 👍
Awesome video Rhett, super playing as well🚨🔥 Favourite overdrive would be really cool 😎
Congrats on the house!!! Super cool! Good luck with home owning!
I LOVE that Hoof Reaper! Every time you've played it in a video I'm blown away by how good it sounds.
Love your reaction at 18:33 or so. It's as if you think the pedal is about to leap at you, spitting fuzz like a wounded alley cat.
Great tones, as always. Congratulations on the new house Rhett! Greetings from Tromsø, Norway
That Fuzz Factory (CBA) was huge!!!!!!!!! Great vid..!
Rhett, you do deserve the best! Keep on shining!
The slide tone meme between you and Josh always makes me giggle. Absolutely classic. Gotta admit that I was a fuzz naysayer when I joined the channel all that time ago. Between you and TPS, I've been converted. I now have an EHX Octavix. Into a Soul Food and then a Maxon FL301 flanger, it's the sound of the gods.
Love my Octavix and Crayon.
@@discobunny4eva759 I've since added a Deluxe Big Muff Pi to the arsenal. Really, really enjoying its flexibility.
Killer tones! Fuzz makes you smile, man! The tracks sound inspired! Hell, I’m inspired to explore more fuzz...
I was a drive guy before I know my first fuzz...fuzzes are very expressive!
Best of luck for the new endeavour! Wishing you well.
I noticed that lick from the payback, very cool!
I'd love to see a series. Cheers!
Ce sont les sons la fuzz!! .... félicitations pour la nouvelle maison, Tilly et Rhett
A video on your favorite speakers would be absolutely amazing. Also congrats on the house!
Sounding epic as always!! Also, though guitar is my main instrument I've been playing bass for over a year and your bass playing is also epic! :)
Rhett and Tilly, congratulations on your new house. So stoked for you two. I can't wait to see the next vlog studio you will be building. I will no doubt be epic.
YOUR SO VAIN......I WILL NO DOUBT BE EPIC
This would be a great serious. I would love to see a video on your favorite modulation pedals.
Yes that series would be great. You could even do additional fuzz ones to get them all in!!! Add to cart!
The mystery blip 18:34: Rhett's reaction cracked me up.
Congrats on the new house. Look forward to the new home studio video-tour.
Excellent tones and choices.
i needed this video at this exact moment in time
I can't decide at all which one I want to play first. I'm also glad to finally get to hear the deluxe as well!!
that little ditty at 2:22 is SMOKING.
👍🇺🇲❤TREBLE BOOSTER......can't live without it 🎸........best distortion ever " EHX DOUBLE MUFF " 2nd fave " MXR '74 / '75 Script Logo DISTORTION PLUS "
Of course when I’m looking for another fuzz, haha Wouldn’t mind an hour long fuzz video, love extended videos since I can always just return and keep watching, no worries! Might have to bite the bullet on the HoofReaper v2 as well! Cheers
I believe this would make a great series. And for the record,.... an hour stream on a particular pedal or circuit would be educational.
I have't been a big fuzz guy but I picked up a V1 Fulltone Soulbender a while back and it's fantastic.
Yo Rhett, fun video. I also liked the cool Heritage LP gold top with minibuckers... Is that a loaner or are we going to be seeing more of it?
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,...)
YESSS more of these "my favorite" videos please!!
20 minutes dedicated to my favorite effect from one of my favorite players? Yes please
Would love the series !!!
