  • Apologies to the people of both the Netherlands and Denmark for my map mistake. I really didn't mean to bring you into this, Netherlands. You're just sitting there, minding your business, eating your Bitterballen and just get dragged into a fuzz video. Then Denmark is all like "What the hell? We made this pedal!" But look - if you and the Danes could be friends after the Torstenson War - you can be friends after a UA-cam mixup! And I'm too lazy to fix the map.
    This is A big, fat, geeky, in-depth review of the TC Electronic (TCE) Rusty Fuzz pedal.
    Rusty Fuzz sounds galore.
    Not a bad cheap fuzz pedal review - if you ask me.

    It may be subjective but honestly one of the best pedal reviews I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot). Love the geeky aspect regarding the construction. Subscribed 👍

    This is by far the most informative demo of this pedal. I really like how you show different settings and describe them in detail. Very well done!

    I tried both the EHX Big Muff PI (original design) and the Dunlop Fuzz Face (light blue one) fuzz pedals. I felt that the Rusty fuzz pedal sounded better and more inspiring to me.

      @misterguitargeek  5 років тому +1

      I suppose that's the funny thing with pedals. Hearing a final result is half the story. A Big Muff has a very specific feel to it that you definitely won't get with this Rusty Fuzz - but dang this Rusty Fuzz records and plays well with different equipment way easier!!!

      @@misterguitargeek Hi, the TC Rusty Fuzz Inspired by the Boss Fz-3 ... is the Rusty Fuzz sound more of a fuzzface or tonebender ?

    Haha, you showed the Netherlands, but tc is a Danish firm, not sure if they'd be too happy about that ; )
    But since it's from China anyways...
    You make it sound really great btw, I'm seriously considering this, thanks!

    would you recommend this or the green russian fuzz?

    • @misterguitargeek
      @misterguitargeek  Рік тому

      They're really different. Green Russian is a big muff .. more of a fuzzy distortion while this is a bit more of a traditional fuzz.
      If you don't know that you like fuzz the greenwashing is probably going to be easier to get into. But I actually think this one's a solid pedal

    Thanks all the info of guitars, the controls and the amps.
    Very easy to understand how to control the TC Rusty Fuzz.

    Thank you for your review. I need to find a good (cheap) fuzz, playing blues from hendrix to Black PistolFire... Have you ever tried the Biyang fuzz ? I wonder which one to buy...

    • @misterguitargeek
      @misterguitargeek  7 років тому +1

      Mehdi Acoustic Jam I believe the Biyang is a Big Muff clone or similar. It seems generally well regarded but suffers from perhaps a lower build quality. Your call, really.

    Wow! What an excellent review. Very informative and comprehensive. I think I'll get one of these. I'm searching for the "No Quarter" sound. One question - why is the Bassman breaking up? No electricity any more?

    • @misterguitargeek
      @misterguitargeek  5 років тому

      That Bassman was an HX Helix model - interesting that I subsequently got a legit one and they behaved the same way.

    • @blueshorecreative3146
      @blueshorecreative3146 5 років тому

      I don't know what you're talking about, but I acknowledge your knowledge :) Tried to make a joke - breaking up? Does that mean full gain?

    • @pcorriveau1982
      @pcorriveau1982 5 років тому

      @@blueshorecreative3146 In that context, "breaking up" means that the amp is starting to overdrive. It is known to sound best with fuzz pedals.

      MR B Yes, there is. You have to unscrew the bottom screws to access it. I also bought one of those old carbon style batteries and tried it. Maybe it sounded different but it wasn't enough to Warrant making a big deal about.
