Life too short for long UA-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
A warm welcome to you, sonic voyagers! This fine day we are minded to ask: is there a guitar effect more divisive than fuzz? That beautiful behemoth onslaught of savage square wave so beloved of noisemongers since the mid-1960s… or is it the wanton wrecking of all that is magnificent and majestic on our sacred six-string?
Whatever your position, we hope this video will offer some ideas with which you can go forth and fuzzify.
Enjoy the episode!

I love how in the intro Mick is purposely trying to make Dan cry with is playing. Your enthusiasm for the sounds you create are really what make this show fun! Thanks your doing what you do!
I found some magazines hidden away in my grandads shed that indeed proved that there were many “big muffs” in the 70’s
Ha.
Nothing like a hair cought in your throat Dry Muff tone.
😆😆😆
Ok ... That made me laugh out loud... Thanks I needed that.
I was here to learn something about Fuzz, en did up laughing out loud. Couldn’t explain to my wife why. 😃
This episode is why I love TPS so much. Not only do we get to hear epic tones... not only do we get to see how much fun using pedals can be... we get to see how much fun you guys have doing the show and being with each other. I am a pedal addict and a TPS addict because of episodes like this, for which I am eternally grateful. Great work, gentlemen.
I fucking LOVE how often and deeply dan is physically and emotionally kandidly MOVED, by a bunch of steel vibrating over some magnets and wood - love you guys!! xoxoxo
One of the best and most dynamic sounds on the show in this intro. Incredibly tasty, Mick!
Yooooo for sure. Really showed how nicely a fuzz can clean up. Dan's stank face says it all.
I don’t understand how so many folks think the Germanium FF cleans better, and has warmer gain, at least compared with the JHF1 BC108. I tried many different Fuzz Faces, and I still haven’t found one that cleans so well, and has the awesome full gain tone.
Even Analogman’s BC108’s are different.
Closest one I’ve found, that also is more diverse, with its bass and treble control, is the Deep Trip BOG.
It can get very loud, and has a bias so a Germsnium tone can be dialed in, with more or less gain. It cleans up pretty well, but still not like the JHF1.
Do we know what fuzz pedal was used in the intro?
Andy Dalton
It was the Dunlop JHF1 BC108
Ummmm... yes to the Josh Scott getting deep into the fuzz with his depth and humor! A brilliant episode in the making.
+1 this NEEDS to happen!
No Musket Fuzz though!
In a shocking a completely unforeseen moment Dan announces that he is moved. ;-)
Fuzz gets him every time haha.
Mick could play a Squier Strat into a Boss Katana and Dan would still be vibing out with his eyes closed, gently nodding in approval as the tone sweeps him away.
Blank I saw Ariel Posen this week and his support act used a Katana. Sounded flipping amazing. I bought one for my 13 year old and played it for about an hour the other day. Mind blowing.
I believe Mick was playing a epiphone casino and the katana though
ManiacaLion er I am not sure I understand?
That’s pretty awesome when the other guy is making the “guitar face” for you!! Can’t beat the fuzz face!
you know the more i watch this channel the more i realize just how unique it really is. you guys are such great players and people.thanks so much;-)and mick your tone with that vintage strat is just......WOW.
Thanks so much Saw. Best to you geezer!
I didn’t come here to love fuzz, I do that already, I came here for Dans love face as Mick does the intro
There are few things better than watching pure joy exude from Dan in this episode.
Showing and explaining Thing 4 is exactly why I love this show.
This is one of the shows where I’m like yeah, Dan & Mick have the best job in the world...great sounds!
Yes do a show on tone benders for sure!
NEED a ToneBender episode!
Please it will be epic. Use clean amp and dirty amp plataforms. Use Dans favorites.
I’d love that! I’d love to see you include the Way Huge Havalina. Huge fan of mine (especially with a fairly transparent/clean Overdrive) afterwards. Just sounds huge in my Victory VC35!
I just love it when Mick gets into a dreamy passage and Dan has his eyes closed and just sitting there “Absorbing” the energy. So good….
Show idea - both mick and Dan either write something or improv. Complete with their “ideal” GOD TONE. No education, no teaching. Just show the pedals you’re using and Just sit there going passage-for-passage and let the audience just enjoy the brilliance of both of your playing.
That intro was so beautiful I thought you might cry Dan. Well done.
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream was a late 70s op amp Big Muff straight into the low input of a 2203 JCM 800. Iconic wall of sound.
I recently got an op-amp Big Muff Pi re-issue and discovered the original was used there. It's my favorite Big Muff sound.
That MUFF was staked with a 70's MXR Distortion II going into the fuzz.
Trivia time: the current generation (v10B) deluxe big muff is actually an op-amp muff! AFAIK it's the only muff aside from the vintage op-amp or re-issue to use op-amps for clipping. I'm just throwing that out there for people chasing Pumpkins tones, since it's the same circuit but with far more features than any of the other options.
Ive probably watched this vid 50 times in the last year...just to hear micks strat tones with that jimi fuzz. Sublime! 🙌
I love watching Dan while Mick plays.
Late 70's Muff. Means a totally different thing to men of a certain age
And fiber 😋🤪😂
@Jason Wilding - Ahhh the lovely, natural ladies of the 70's! 😍
As a man of a certain age, I find this to be one of the all time best internet comments I’ve seen. Thank you! I feel validated. And while I’m at it, baldness is for old men and eagles. Nuff said.
The two common effects I've never been able to figure out are delay and fuzz, so thanks for these last two episodes
I truly believe that intro is just exactly what the instrument is built for! A voice! Without a doubt a special moment caught in time, I love it!
VCQ: How many copyright strikes have you had to deal with? Also, KILLER intro, Mick!!! Best I’ve ever heard from you.
I get very confused when people say they can’t get a usable tone with a fuzz pedal.. I can’t seem to get a tone that I don’t like with a fuzz!
100% true.
I wonder what the ones who didn't get a tone they wanted expected to get...it's a fuzz! 😂
True, but there can be an issue trying to "sit in the mix" with a fuzz. It's easy to simply disappear when you stomp the fuzz if you're playing with other musicians. It might not be an unpleasant sound when you play alone, but then it's unusable in a band setting.
I like it when I hear it done well, but it is not always in the style of music I listen to or create, so that can be difficult
Fuzz is a guitar players effect. Don’t meet many non guitar players these days that can listen to fuzz unless it’s on rhythm guitar sitting below the mix perhaps. Maybe it’s an acquired taste.
Fuzz is very unusable for me. I'm one of those people you mention. It's much more at home in pop and rock, etc.
Oh man ...I love that when the first few minutes of TPS has OUTRAGEOUS tone and playing. Gents- love ya!
I agree. Best moments: Dan nearly weeping in response to Mick. Mick's various faces of sonic shock. Right on fellas. I'm bringing my kids back your shows are so informative fun and teachable.
Would love to see a show with some lesser known/underused fuzz techniques. For example two of my favorites are turning a fuzzface into a gated fuzz by putting a buffer and or boost in front of it and turn any fuzz into an octave fuzz by putting an eq before it. I set a GE7 with all the bands all the way down, boost 400 hz all the way, boost the the volume all the way and roll my tone off, and viola, any fuzz can be a vocaly octave fuzz. I am sure there are many more under explored techniques we as a community could both contribute and benefit from.
Dat intro... damn, that is the quintessentially most gorgeous strat tone ever.
Ah man. Thank you! Marshalls, Strats Fuzz Face, tape echo. So so so so simple. :0)
I second that - epic.
Some of the best tones I've ever heard on this show...absolutely mega!
This really drives home how different every fuzz is. I find when someone says they "don't like fuzz" they tell you they played one once in a store for a couple minutes.
PS-Mick's love song was awesome.
Broadcast is my always on pedal to layer gain in front of it, it’s such a good base tone. Love it
That intro! That Strat and Mick are a match made in heaven!!
Perfect timing on this one guys. I just finished building a Mythos Fuzz kit that I got for Christmas so many thanks for the ideas on how to start putting it to use.
Mick, that intro tone was magic!
Brilliant playing with that Dunlop fuzz and the strat!! Wow! That sounded so perfect!!
This video solved a major problem I was having with getting the compression I was wanting from my "barely breaking up" sound - dimed Fuzz Face with volume way down on my Strat. Great job! I love the videos, especially the explanations for everything.
"You forgot the unforgettable riff." Hilarious! What a useful episode. Loved every minute.
I was saving this episode like the finest wine. I opened up and enjoyed it sooo much. Im taking this episode to my next life, just in case I need to explain the tones i love.
Mick you demonstrated the use of clean tones into lead fuzz heaven, like a master. Love the show since day one. Cant wait for the Octafuzz Show. Add some wah and phaser just to funk it up.
“You had me at intro!” Playing, tone - exceptional and inspiring. Thank you!
Great show, and as always, your infectious enthusiasm is your USP...
Another excellent and inspiring episode gents, great job!
No questions, only a comment: Dan's wee face whenever Mick plays the 61 Strat is priceless.
I'm not one to fall for the vintage 'hoodoo' usually, but that guitar is definitely doing something, Mick - you are unleashed whenever you pick it up!!
You guys are really kicking ass. Like that you are doing a lot of themed “pedal Shows” lately
The intro improv to this video was so f-in gorgeous, simply put.
That guitar intro was brilliant! Thank you! I'm going to learn to play that part myself! Awesome! Deffo gonna listen to it on loop for a while! Keep up the great work!
Hi Mick, Malcolm here. Reelin’ in the Years was recorded ( according to Elliott - honk) hot rod Strat direct into an Ampeg SVT ( yup, a bass amp) onto tape. Mics not remembered, must be out there somewhere. Any effects - overdrive etc. - were put on tape to tape ( reamping?) I’m sure some of your viewers can ferret out the accuracy of equipment. Great show, I should tune in more often 😉
25 years ago my first pedal was an old Colorsound Supa Tone Bender, that my father gave me as a "distortion" pedal. It was noisy, undefined, thick. Did not cut through the mix. When I got the money for a multi fx, I didn`t look backwards and just recently I became fondly with fuzzes, because now I know what they`re supposed to do and know they`re not distortion pedals...
THAT intro Mick and your demo of the capabilities of the Dunlop Jimi Fuzz Face using your volume pot, was nothing short of godly. It's why I listen to TPS and why we all need a vintage 60s Strat. And oh my word, with the RYRA it was heavenly in my ears.
Thanks for the magic episodes all these years. This one in particular has given me various ideas on how to get better tones out of the Pi (using my diablo strat). Rediscovering my muff. Cheers!
19:31 I bought a Fat Fuzz Factory a while ago. When you plug that in and it sounds broken, it's working correctly. I love that pedal. It's crazy and I'm able to use it more often within the context of a song than I initially expected.
The "Comments" section seems a strange place to be when one is speechless, but here I am. Beginning at roughly 20 minutes in a program on Fuzz Pedals, we hear some of the most melodic and inspiring clean tones I've ever heard. So moving. If it's that way here in the distant inter-web, it's easy to understand Dan being so moved in person. It's under Thing 5, Fallin Love With Your Guitar Volume Control. Thanks, guys. Fantastic episode. And would be great to have Josh on and go on a Tone Bender.
Second time watching this after months of exploring fuzz and learned so much more !! Thank you
Fridays are great in many ways but foremost because of TPS. I love what You're doing and You have become a true source of inspiration and helped me in great ways to improve my guitarplaying as well as my musicwriting. This episode was yet another moment of enlightenment for me! Keep it up guys!
Man, fuzz before the wah for that Stooges vibe. That’s the coolest trick, can’t believe you guys didn’t mention it.
Grange Hill and Rhubarb & Custard in one show.. god bless 70’s Children’s TV.. wish they’d done a Fuzz Blue Peter theme!
Geoff Nightingale yes. This.
flipping heck Tucker !
The Bagpus theme sounds great with some aggressive fuzz
@@ukguitarnoodle No, Zammo...no!
Thank you for these 10 ways to use type videos. They are soooooooo helpful and OMG that fuzz face with the clon (sp?) was absolutely amazing!!!!
Awesome Guy's
Love the sound of the fuzz going into the RYRA Love your videos Mick and Dan great stuff.
Yes! to the ToneBender episode!
Man you guys looked like you had so much fun in this one!
Obviously Fuzz = Smiles
That intro was phenomenal. The strat tone we dream about!
Amazing show. Super educational and fun. Thanks for always making great content!
So I have watched every single episode of TPS from the humble beginnings in the back of Dan's office to the current weekly visits to the Schwang Cave.
But what are the most rewatchable episodes? For me there are two: 1) The Powerbooster and Hiwatts (because it put the powerbooster on my board that I now can't live without), and 2) the Matt Schofield board build which for some reason does wonders for my mental health. Thanks Dan and Mick. You are doing no end of good.
Morten Pedersen I’ve watched every episode once, and occasionally i’ll go back to the really informative ones for a second viewing down the line. I’ve definitely watched the hiwatt/powerboost episode 10 times at minimum. I can’t get enough of those sounds.
That was some outstanding playing and tone in the intro. Love fuzz but being an aficionado of doomy/sludgy metal kinda makes it a given. Fuzz with some really wet reverb can produce some glorious sounds.
I got a Big Muff about 6 months back and I think I finally got my knobs dialed in to a spot I love it in.......for now. Fantastic episode as always!! I wasn't a fuzz guy until I got one myself and it might be my favorite lead tone.
Great show guys! Tip #10 has been the one that has helped me over the years to understand and play fuzzes better with a clean fenderish amp. Usually putting a low gain overdrive like a barber gain changer, jan ray, amp 11 etc at the end of my OD chain has been a great way to boost whichever flavour of the minute fuzz I have and make it not sound rubbish into a clean platform. You guys are the reason for my fuzz journey in the first place and I’ve been along for the ride since the first shows! Thank you!
Great video guys!! Thanks for all the in-depth discussion about the options! I love messing around with fuzz pedals. I think the reason some folks don’t like them is that you have to take time to experiment dial in the sounds you like. And when you add in other factors like stacking with other pedals, amp settings, etc. it takes even MORE time! Patience is key, but man when you hit on THE sound or sounds you like, it’s awesome fun!! For example, after hours of goofing around, I found that for lead playing, usually prefer the signal to go guitar>fuzz>light OD>clean amp because the OD takes a little of the scoop out but leaves a lot of the “fuzziness.” Funny to see Mick likes that as well! Or...if I want to get crazy, stack a couple of fuzz pedals...a fuzz/octave with a light setting into another fuzz and hold on tight LOL!!✌🏻🎸🎼
I love listening to how Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys uses fuzz. He makes it blend into the instrumentation as a crispy texture without it being to much.
those first three records, sonically, are pretty garbage, but it’s garbage i will thoroughly indulge in. Big Muff/Rosac/Maestro into a cranked Tweed or Marshall just sounds magic. Shin Ei didn’t come until later, so a safe bet is a green Big Muff into dimed Tweed for the glory.
@@cactus-mcjacktus El Camino and Brothers are my favorite. Tons of FY-2 and FY-6 circuits all over those records. Fredric Effects sells a fuzz that will let you swap between both circuits and it’s great!
The opening expressions of Dan are classic! Love it. Another great one guys! And killer playing Mick.
I always get new ideas by watching your videos guys, cheers!
I love this. Fuzz is so central to my tone and figuring out how it plays with others is half the fun. My gain chain is treble booster->synth fuzz(earthquaker data corrupter)->OD->walrus jupiter fuzz->OD/lead boost.
The data corrupter is so wild but its crazy how much having the jupiter fuzz on after it tames it! I run the jupiter fairly dark and use it for wall of sound stuff.
Fun vid gents. More fuzz is always good!
Great video, as always. The whole "brevity thing", Dudes. Extremely HONORABLE Mention Octave Fuzz: the Keeley Monterey!
The "TONE ZONE": 21:10 to 21:59 and the STRATospheric THIRD sTONE From The SUN... 22:00 to 22:36 !!! AHhhhh-MAaaZING!
Very interesting watching the DB meter in the intro! It’s surprising how much louder it sounds and feels when he cranks it, yet the actual increase in volume is small. Those dynamics are incredible!
Favorite video in ages! All your uploads are great, but I always love Fuzz.
I can't wait till the octave fuzz pedal show comes out! Hell yes.🤘
When you do though, PLEASE grab a JDM Pedals - Humdinger and show it off. I think it's my favorite fuzz.. It's like a Tonebender mkII w/an octave up option, similar to the Fulltone Ultimate Octave. Great sounding, reasonably priced, hand-made, boutique pedal - from Germany. I also have his Union Fuzz pedal which I also like a lot. Cheers, fellas! 🍻
Think John Squire used to use a silicon fuzz face into a TS9 through a Silverface Twin Reverb and that might just be my favourite guitar sound of all time.
Yessssss!!!!!!
Ahhh John Squier. Which tracks and guitars did he use that fuzz?
@Mick, the sound of your intro is absolutely phenomenal! Ever since I heard you playing your blue through a dimed Marshall plexi (in a Pete Thorn video), I was convinced, that no guitar can sound any better. Now you have proven the opposite to me. Can't wait to see your current Strat vlog!
By the way: with your two last shows about delay and fuzz, you absolutely answered my recent questions. Thanks a lot guys!
Not gonna lie, I shed a tear during that openingly emotive and beautiful play. Thanks!
The Hudson Broadcast is immense!
Yes it is!
@@ThatPedalShow I should have also mentioned you guys are the reason I purchased the Regent Sounds special edition version.
That fuzzface>ryra combo was one of the most amazing tones I've ever heard. Absolutely killer. I will be attempting that next Sunday at church.
Please get church people to use fuzz!
@@mikeroadblock be careful. Might accidentally start a new religion
Oh My god, what an intro ... I'm still shivering ...
Love the Broadcast, definitely my favourite pedal.
Wonderful tone and playing on that intro, Mick!
Thanks Phil!
What a great episode. TPS at its best. It inspires to play afterwards, you learn something you not have tried befiore ( for me this time fuzz in klon clone, fuzz face at 10 and back it up until it stops sounding like frying bacon :-). amazing tones.and cool playing. And all with Dan and Mick in a relaxed conversation. Guitar mags for decades were not able to transport that kind of edutainment.
I particularly like this comment. I was sad when I realised we couldn’t compete in guitar mag print land. So I gave up the editorship of the best mag on the planet and started a UA-cam channel. Everyone thought I was insane. Ha!
@@ThatPedalShow Hats off to you for that bold move !
Just want to say again ...I LOVE MY ANALOGMAN SUNFACE SO MUCH!!! I got one after watching you guys’ episodes featuring them and it did take me a couple of weeks to get my head around how to play to it, but now I never want to be without it on my board. And Mick, yeah I often run it into a Klon type pedal. It sounds great dimed, but it also sounds really cool when you roll back the fuzz and volume and then play with the volume and gain on the Klone. When you guys did Chris Buck’s pedalboard build, he talked about using an overdrive to smooth out the aggressiveness of the fuzz and got a killer tone that way.
The Fuzz Face/Klon duo was just amazing. What a wonderful tone.
Repeat after me: "I don't need any more pedals, I need more practice time"
I don’t need anymore pedals, I need more practice time
I don’t need any more pedals, I need more practice time
I don’t need anymore pedals, I need more practice time.
I don’t need any more practice time, I need more pedals.
I don't need any more pedals, I need more practice time!!!
That fookin strat!!
Well done fellas, probably the most enjoyable TPS yet! Fantastic toanz too
Epic episode guys, I loved every minute of it! I started following you years ago, because I absolutely love fuzz too.
Love the fuzz. More fuzz. My favorite example of a fuzz-based album is "Superfuzz Bigmuff" by Mudhoney, one of the first proper grunge records and absolutely holds up to this day.
TPS episode on fuzz: Only 2 mins in and Dan is already so moved he looks like he's going to cry. No shame in it! :-) Me too Dan, me too.
welcome to the wacky world of fuzz by tps, another great episode! i always tune in for my once a week needed decompression, a great way to end the week and start the weekend. keep it up boys
That episode was an absolute blast.
Get Jack White on the show!!! What an evening of tones would that be! well... like any other of your videos ;)
ok, I admit I haven't been a huge fan of fuzz... until I heard the amazing tones (and playing by Mick) at the 20:55 mark. So dynamic and sweet. I'm now a fan, thanks guys!
Thanks MGG!
Those intro tones were superb!
WOW. Mick, you kind, beautiful man...that was THE best, most inspired playing I’ve ever heard. Just fantastic.
-Aaron
The classic fuzz that current generation ignores is the Jordan Bosstone. Pedal Steel players still love it.
I have a Boss tone variant. Gooby ‘Bag of D***s’ fuzz is based on the Boss Tone. It’s a great pedal but it’s very, very, loud and can be hard to dial in. Very aggressive sounding.
I think the satisfaction pedal from ehx is a clone of the bosstone, 30bucks on the 2ndhand market to try it out
@@davidtexmex1616 i think it's a clone of the Maestro fuzz.Isn't it what Keith Richards used on Satisfaction?hence the name.but i might be wrong.
Chris Mahoney builds an accurate Bosstone. Voodoo Labs claimed to build a Bosstone but I never thought it sounded like one. The impedance levels on pedal steel pickups can be ridiculous. It can be difficult finding dirt boxes that work well with steel. The original idea was that fuzz provided a strings effect for steel.
Dan was on fire last week. Mick was on fire this week. holy shit boys!
I really enjoy this show, the guys’ personalities, and all the information. I also wish I could play even close to either of them!
I just got myself a JHS Pollinator the other day, so the moment I heard the intro of the video, I knew EXACTLY what was going on. Oh man!! The JHS is starting to become my always-on pedal. SO interactive with the volume knob
