- Twelve (alright, eleven) non-Muff fuzz, directly compared with the same loop (from an Ammoon Stereo Looper - my EHX 720 has developed a fault so this cheap copy is standing in for it - recorded from my Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster).
I've also made another video of the same 11 pedals with the looper level right down to simulate rolling the volume off on the guitar. • 12 Fuzz Pedals Shootou...

I've always loved that Solar Bender tone...
sounds killer in this demo (for me that Ibanze came 2nd)
Best pedal shootout videos of the www, mr Bored! I am doubting between a fuzz war and a fuzz bender. But after seen your gorgeous reverse reverb shootout, fuzz war is first choice for the moment.
This is pretty incredible, as is the Big Muff one you did recently. I'd love to see you do a "Side by Side" one like the Muff video with examples of all the "Classic" fuzz circuits, because I've never really been able to work out all the differences and I feel like it'd be super cool to see you twiddle with the knobs back and forth to see where the similarities and differences are.
I would buy Solar Bender and Fuzz War.
I feel like that too, but I already have 3 fuzz pedals on my board :( two of them are fuzz war clones
Damn, that Sfocato Wah would be awesome for noise freakouts.
Now that's how you do a fuzz video....no bullshit.....I love it....✌🏻❤
My favs were the ibanez 850, the Greer Black Fuzz 18th anniversary and the DBA Fuzz War, so glad I own them all!
omg that solar bender sounds fakin awesome
I’ve noticed a debate going on here about the buffer before the fuzz pedal. My experience and understanding is that some fuzz pedals react more “adversely” to the buffer. I find it interesting though that quite a few people mention how great the solar bender sounds, and I was just reading on their website how they use a high input impedance - low output impedance to make it work better with buffers. So that may be an indicator here. If you take a true vintage style fuzz like a sun face and put a buffer in front of it, it’s not pretty. That Pedal Show has gone over this thoroughly
Yeah, some of these pedals will certainly sound a little different for being used after a looper. But I'm definitely going with 'a little' not 'a lot'. I try them with and without the looper before I make the videos, and often the difference is so subtle I can't spot it.
The Solar Bender is so far ahead both in isolated sound, but most important in a full band context. The majority of these fuzz pedals would be pointless in anything larger than a 3 piece ensemble. Completely unhearable.
Oh yeah, I'd love to hear this riff over and over as you tweak it and twist it, warp it and destroy it , then rebirth it .Excellent !!
Keeley ROTSOFH sounds awesome with diodes removed. Hits the front end of my amp like a Mack Truck
The Katana takes the pedals surprisingly well. Didn't expected that.
That Black Fuzz sounded nice to me.
I really liked the Ibanez fuzz mini. Have you tried the full size OD850 reissue? I've seen it for 85€ brand new and I don't know whether to take the opportunity or wait until I find a second hand mini version for 40-50€.
Okay...that fuzz war....wow
How about the BEHRINGER Super Fuzz??
There are so many fuzz pedals it would be impossible for me to do all of them... So I just picked 12.
Loves your videos.
*subs!
no zvex :(
hi, what about fuzz face mini shootout?
You should try synth pedals!
Awesome......but people are really into how they clean up with guitar volume drop..If you get a chance :) Solar Bender caught my ear
Completely agree. Most people who say they hate fuzz don’t know how to use them. The Solar Bender for example is almost unusable in a band context when all 4 nobs are cranked. On the other hand, roll off about 2/3s of the attack nob, 1/2 of the tone, back the bias about 1/2 as well, then simply use the volume for an awesome overdrive that cuts through a mix like butter and maintains huge colour. To appreciate fuzz, ya gotta back that shit off.
Hard to pick a winner in this line up
Sfocato is... ❤
you should have more subscribers.
Timestamps are wrong. Good video though.
stratmatt22 Which ones? Happy to correct
2:24 Ibanez 850 Fuzz Mini
2:42 Death By Audio Fuzz War
3:00 Magnetic Effects White Atom Fuzz
3:17 Keeley Electronics Sfocato Wah Fuzz
Yeah the video isnt even 3mins long haha
Oh yes. What an idiot.
Fixed! Thanks
ibanez mini or son of fuzz head
fuzz war good too
Interesting. IMHO, none of these really sounded very good. When you played single string notes, it sounded like the clean tones separated from the fuzz. Fuzz without any blending just sounds like fuzz/noise.
Do you understand that for MANY fuzzes (esp. any germanium) When you run ANY buffer into a fuzz it WILL sound horrible..... Now....could you please re-do this video...and give these fuzzes the correct....(straight from guitar... so it will be a valid comparison?
No, even though you said please.
This has come up a few times on other videos I've made, and I've watched other videos that deal with it and explain the problem. Here's my take: I owned all these pedals and used them a lot. I played them straight from guitar, and I played them with recordings from the looper. I honestly could not tell the difference.
And it matters even less with a video like this because I'm not demonstrating the range of sounds you can get out of each fuzz, or how you can adjust the sound using the guitar's volume, I'm just setting them to how I think they sound best to *me*, when played with a looper pedal. So it's super subjective.
Do you understand that the whole Buffer vs. Fuzz thing is just an urban legend or an internet hoax? A buffer changes the way the Fuzz reacts to the volume pot of the guitar and that‘s it. With guitar volume up, it doesn‘t change the sound at all.
Hey Tim, why don't you do it yourself? You do understand that he is free to do it how he wants? D-Bag.
