Musiclily sent me their full line of pedals, there are a few winners and a few losers here, but the fuzz really blew me away.

That's some top class overpackaging MusicLily
That's why it's more expensive than the Cuvave!
Chinese packaging has never been known for being sustainable
I really like the tones of the MusicLilly Fuzz over the Cüvavé by a considerable margin.
CUVAVE must be heard in person : it generates crazy bass ( lower octave ) you can't hear on youtube , it blows out your speakers and gives a feeling of all the air in the room is sucked out : it'' s a physical thing you have to be in the room to feel it . Works great with humbucker and single coils plus you can control the gating with the guitar"s volume control . For me it is the most brutal crushing fuzz sound ever made , period ,
best Superfuzz I have heard in 30+ years .
@@DOPEDOGTOPDOGhave you tried the Musiclily one? Everything you said would be true for all pedals on UA-cam also these surfy guys are not the right people to demonstrate a Fuzz you need a Doom/ Stoner player.
I actually use the joyo california as a fuzz pedal it's awesome but a bit noisy
Great to see love for The Sufrajettes, those girls rock the surf. 🏄 . P.S. Nothing can replace the Cuvave with its gated gnarliness. 😳
Thanks Ryan for the affordaboard series! Always love me some cheap but good sounding gear! 🍻
I dig the Musiclily Fuzz for the aggressive Foxx Tone Machine style octave fuzz. Appreciate the demo!
It's a really close call, but I would still go with the Cuvave. I bought one a while ago because of your recommendation, and just love it! The Cuvave always taunts the other fuzzes on my pedal board, because it knows it's superior.
Keep the Cuvave. Replace one of the other dirt pedals with the Musiclily fuzz. Or get a bigger board.
I love how they include a free pic in every package. I've bought pickguards and covers from them before
Tough call, depends on what side of the bed you wake up on that day. That chorus is pretty slick though.
Yeah. Gotta be a foxxtone clone. I have a Tone City Fuxx Fuzz (I didn’t name it!) - a Foxx tone Machine clone in a tiny box. it is indeed muffy on one side and very QOTSA on the other.
I love my Tone City Fuxx fuzz, I wanted the Warm Audio Foxy tone box, but this was a mini pedal and only $60 compared to 150 even if it is NOS. Probably get one someday though
@@KelticKabukiGirlthey have a limited edition now that’s purple. I’m going to get one at some point.
Just got the fuzz, I love it. It can be a bit bright and harsh though, but it's fairly easy to add a mod switch in that connects a resistor between the tone pot legs (darkening the sound a bit more.)
The Chorus sounds funky because it uses a ramp wave rather than the normal sine or triangle wave.
That Music Lily Distortion sounded exactly like a Metal Zone. If not, the gain character definitely came really close. There you go. An affordable Metal Zone, finally.
Wow, I had to endure a pantene shampoo for menopause advert just to watch 60 cycle hum and I am a 45 year old bald dude, that's how much I enjoy this channel!
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Probably worth noting that your Cuvave gates and the newer ones do not.
There's a fix you can do and its well documented..
yeah, mine doesn't gate and gets no use! I'll check out the mods!
@@50Something I found a video for an easy enough fix I'll be trying. Just wanted to share: ua-cam.com/video/Y1TU9lxiVAY/v-deo.html
Right? I bought a Cuvave after watching Ryan's review, but mine didn't sound the same; it was post-change. Partly to salve this disappointment, I just now ordered a Musiclily fuzz-but now I'm worried that in the three months since this video came out, they may have changed this one too! Damn you, Ryan! You owe me all the money I wasted on these pedals (which I think is something like 8 bucks).
While I am not a fan of fuzz pedals, this one has my attention. Nice shout out to those young ladies from Canada, The Surfrajettes. I follow them here on the Tube. They play the surfer music quite nicely.
Love the gold strat, sounds great! The winners clearly were the chorus and fuzz
The MusicLily fuzz hits the right spot for me, love the octave. I have the Voodoo Octave by Joyo which is also a Tone Machine clone. Cuvave is a one trick pony. The Musiclily is more versatile. The chorus also sounded really nice and warm to my ears and got quite crazy.
I was just thinking it might be the Joyo Voodoo octave, which is good because those come in a bigger enclosure.
That Musiclily fuzz would be great for getting some Electric Wizard tones on the cheap.
or get a behringer superfuzz for $20 which is actually what electric wizard actually uses or used at one time.
@@zipzip8239 I would take the behringer super fuzz over any of these fuzz pedals. In this video I would go for the musiclily!!
That Chorus is mental!! Fast as fuck!
I liked the Fuzz, interesting going from Muff style to the Octave Fuzz with the switch, I do actually prefer it to the Cuvave Fuzz I’m sure many people will hate me for that. The Englishman distortion although not the best sounding distortion ever I really liked that harmonic feedback you were getting, think I’ll probably buy one just for that.
CÜVAVÉ cleans up really well. Glad you convinced me to buy one with your original video.
I wish you could have both fuzzes because they are both different! That is what I did with my board, I have both a muff and the cuvave, and I also have an octaver if I wanted either to be an octave fuzz (i know, not the same, but works for me :P), but of course the affordaboard is limited in space...
I like both of them a lot too... But to be honest, despite the usability and likeness of the MusicLily, it is much more expensive than the cuvave (if I bought it on MusicLily rn, it is like $60+, and I can find a Cuvave for less than $30). So, to stick with affordaboard style...
I will go with CUVAVE.
Or replace the Distortion with the new MusicLily Fuzz hehehehe
I have like, 11 fuzzes on my main board
Late to the game on this video, however there are two things I love about this video. 1 Surfrajettes are flippin amazing!! 2. The Fuzz I believe is the same circuit as the DIY kit Sriracha Fuzz that’s available with a secondary pcb that gives you the octave sound. I built that fuzz a few years ago and it does the same as this fuzz you’re loving. Love the video!
The look on Ryan’s face during chorus demo - priceless. Love it!
The fuzz is a foxx tone machine clone! Also, the cuvave fuzz is a clone of the ZVEX woolly mammoth with the "pinch" knob set internally, which is what was changed between the new and old cuvave units!
The crazy octave fuzz sound is done by essentially splitting off the bottom half of the waveform, de-biasing it, and running it back into the fuzz circuit for a half-octaved effect.
That fuzz is way better than the Cuvave, but tbf I'm really not a fan of the Cuvave so it doesn't take much for me
Same. I actually want to buy this one. The cuvave is a one trick pony. That one can cover a lot of fuzz sounds
“Insect language territory” might be my favorite thing you’ve said in a video
A lot of the local guitar players here put LEDs on their pedal boards. That would be a great way to use the USB port.
I looooove the Surfrajettes!
Particularly their Strat player.
Thank you for this demo, i think this is a hilarious set of pedals wi th unexpected “ features”
I'll give you this piece of string I found in my pocket just now for a copy of the Burke book. I'll even leave the lint attached!
I would absolutely buy your book - and definitely the companion "riffs I play in demos" tab book!
I love the shirt! Huge Surfrajettes fan🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The Fuzz is a clone of the Danelectro French Toast which is a clone of the Foxx Tone Machine.
It does not sound like my Dano French Toast ...
@@1-DOT.COM-radio not everything is an exact clone, I Have a Fuxx Fuzz Foxx Tone Machine clone
@@1-DOT.COM-radio it sounds nearly identical to both of my Dano French Toasts and the fuzz in my Dan-o-Wah and also very similar to my Joyo Voodoo Octave, although the Joyo has a separate footswitch for the octave and a mid cut switch to enable a scooped sound. All are based on the Foxx.
@@dumbamerica the guy who invented the Foxx Tone Machine bought Danelectro, the French Toast was the first True Foxx Tone Machine clone. He was 19 when he invented it. I want a Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box all NOS parts in ORANGE FUZZ! But the Tone City Fuxx fuzz was $60 and takes up way less space. Its modeled after the Fulltone Foxx clone. So its a bit updated. AMAZING pedal....also takes us like 1/4 the space of the Warm Audio
It's definitely in the same family as all those mentioned but it's just... it's. ready. to. GO. I find this one incapable of making any unusable sounds and alot crispier and vicious and balanced than all those Foxx clones mentioned.
I would go for the musiclily… but you my friend are a cuvave man
100% I would choose the Cuvave. But if you're looking for a fuzz pedal and don't have a Cuvave already, than the Musiclily sounds like a "good" buy. But like I said in another comment, on Amazon Canada, the Musiclily goes for almost 77$CAN shipped... I bought the Cuvave for around 25$CAN shipped (from Aliexpress and I had to wait 4 months to get it because of the pandemic, but still...).
But the new one's aren't gated and have SharkChili instead of Cuvave on them. Is buying the SharkChili and swapping out the R7 resistor to return the gate the best option right now?
@@bakewellspud I picked one of the new Cuvaves up and threw a $25 noise gate after it and it sounds really great. Mind you, it only has one great sound, but that sound is really great.
I vote cuvave all the way. I bought two one old and one new version. There is a video on youtube here where a small mod using a variable resistor solves the gating problem with the new cuvave version. looking forward to trying that out with my new version.
I drilled another hole in the middle, directly above/between the vol/tone, wired an Alpha RK097N 500k linear pot (plastic bottoms so no need for insulation) in there, which gives total control dialling in the velcro, rather than setting internally (no good as you go from guitar to guitar, trust me)... you could go up to 1m pot (for really high gain pups) but I found that was about right for me. I hope you have a steady hand... removing that 0ohm shunt resistor.... I had to do it under the magnifying glass! I recommend cleaning up that area with copper braid before wiring in. Another tip, line the bottom of the casing with a couple of layers of electrical tape... the solder contacts of the board almost touch! Have fun modding! You won't regret this one.
Best feature of this pedal is that the logo makes going crazy optic interpolation in the video.
The chorus reminds me of the old Boss mains powered chorus I had as a teenager. The chorus was nice, the vibrato was seasick-inducing though. Delay sounds good for some Tangerine Dream layering though.
Honestly, I agree with those that say both pedals. I think maybe the musiclily. At the same time, the Cuvave is nearly your signature pedal. Every review I've read say the current Cuvave fuzz pedals don't do the gating they used to
This one is going in my arsenal. Surprise Surprise. Edit 2 of them. Sold on easy feedback.
Glad to see some Surfrajettes love
Well, they're all sold out! Good job Ryan! I am totally sold on the Chorus, Fuzz and Englishman Distortion!
Have the Cuvave. Love the Cuvave but it only does the ripped velcro sound. Rolling off the volume doesn't change the tone. It's a one trick pony. An awesome one trick pony though. Having said that, I feel the MusicLily is the pick. The octave pushes it over the top.
great, now i want both that chorus and fuzz... X"D
I prefer the Musiclily fuzz because I like a wider, more open distortion sound in general.
The Musiclily Fuzz has some extra layers of character while the Cuvave has the gating zipper/velcro thing.
This sounds much better than the first demos we heard of these pedals.
I believe the Red Distortion pedal is in the line of Valco, Supro amps sound
It sounds similar to the Ghetto Stomp Overdrive by Greer Amps.
Which by the way is around $150
I've been pretty happy with Musiclily guitar parts. I'll be looking into some fun pedals.
Lovin' your expressions with that FUZZ! There is NO reason that you couldn't use BOTH of the FUZZ pedals... RIGHT!?!?!?
Yep... you need BOTH of those FUZZ pedals. The Chorus is a winner. I agree with your favs. The Overdrive isn't terrible at all either. The Distortion could be pretty cool if you're looking for a "tame" Metal pedal. Maybe early Metal....?
"Can muffs be octave fuzzes?" Yes!
I've actually thought about adding the rectification stage (the octave maker stage) from something like a Tone Machine or Superfuzz on the ass end of a muff, just to see how it sounds. TM already is muffy in a way due to a somewhat similar tone stack, so probably similar to it with less harshness.
Edit: Actually, it does sounds like a tone machine in the video. If not, a slightly more extreme interpretation of one.
I have a Foxx Tone Machine clone, its a Foxx Tone Machine clone. They sound kind of muffy without the octave
Also, the EQD Hoof Reaper is a Tonebender into a Tentacle Octave up and a Hoof Russian Muff Clone. Muffs are too tame for me so I have Superfuzz, Foxx Tone Machine, and an analog octave up in the Tentacle so I can to many variations of octafuzz. I wish I could post pics of my board.
@@KelticKabukiGirl yeah I've built various tonebenders, a tone machine and a super fuzz, among others. All badass. The tone machine indeed gets muffy without octave. Especially if you wire the octave switch to fully remove the germanium diodes.
I really like muffs though. First pedal I built was a Russian clone. I got a broken full size ehx muff for like $30, bent the input jack and it worked. I did a couple mods to make it higher gain, like an old Rams head, and it's great. Muffs aren't a "nasty" fuzz, but using them to brute force the front end of an amp is a hell of a sound. Tons of gain. Instant feedback.
@@JulianA-tr6pt Muff Circuits have a musical feedback, the Pickle has a nice feedback frequency
@@JulianA-tr6pt also, I run my Pickle as like, a corner stone fuzz tone and add another fuzz over it with a ton of drive and eq after. Comp for articulation
FINALLY, a Chorus pedal sound I can get behind. Not available in the UK as of now, but I'm holding out hope... EDIT: £44 on ebay UK. Hmmmmm. Still tempted.
It's a standard octave fuzz circuit with a muff tone control. That's why it sort of sounds like a muff but not really.
I didn’t see this originally but I did order the Fuzz from Music Lily. It comes tomorrow. Sounds ferocious on the show. I’m in. Way to find stuff!!
How is the fuzz pedal. I don't have one. This sounds good to me. Where did you get yours?
I vote for the music lilly definitely!
With the fuzz, it sounds like 1 side of the switch is an op amp muff and the other side is a Foxx tone machine.
That clean was *T H I C C* :o
Cuvave is one-dimensional to me. Rip and Tear, Balls to the Wall fuzz nastiness. That M'lily give a MUCH broader spectrum of options and is still a bang on fuzz. For me I want options and so the M'lily wins.
The fact that they both sound like equipment that's taken a few loads of buckshot mid-set and are barely conducting electricity is super primo. Good fuzz isn't good fuzz if you don't take a second look at your amp the first time you turn it on to look for smoke.
Thumbs up for The Toadies' Possum Kingdom intro!
35:09 Ryan: "that's what it sounds like when ants talk to each other."
Animation studios: taking notes 🤔
The overdrive is the Caline Queen Bee, their clone of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey
I could never get my hands on a Queen Bee for some reason, the Joyo Sweet Baby is a really good version of that circuit and they are on Amazon all day for $36.
The chorus pedal reminds me a lot of my ancient Rocktek CHR-01 chorus pedal, minus the vibrato mode. That chorus also can do ridiculously fast rates - this one is even faster than the Rocktek was.
Without a doubt both!
Appear to be rebranded Pigtone pedals.
Musiclily all the way. I didn’t like the octave and would never in a million years use it. I am a Muff fan and dial it way down to get a smoother less fizzy sound then stack my Soul Food as a clean boost to add just a little too end shimmer. I know taste is in the ears of the listener but from day one I’ve had my fingers crossed that the Cuvave would disappear Velcro is a great description but grates (pun intended) on my nerves. None the less I love cheap pedals and your updates. Thanks again.
I think someone else mentioned this, but it appears a brand called pigtone sells all those same pedals on amazon as well. They just look slightly different… and are all +/- $15 cheaper.
… aaaaannnddd I ordered both the Fuzz and the Englishman. Ryan is such an enabler.
that fuzz it's like the superfuzz bigmuff tribute, the mudhoney affordable tone.
Ok, that chorus pedal is ridiculous. Haha. Not sure how actually usable most of those sounds are, but it sure looks fun.
One of these days some cult garage/alternative band will record their legendary debut album with a bunch of these Amazon pedals, and everyone will track them down like HM-2s.
I love all the affordable fuzz pedals! The Musiclily has strong OpAmp Muff vibes!
If the chorus is a rebranded Pigtone, I'll note that the original has the knobs labled correctly. And a dragon on a white casing. It's up to you whether these are positive or negatives.
Wow about 10min in the vid and that fuzz is straight up nasty🤖📡
Damnit.... now I need that chorus pedal so that I can contact the mothership 🤦♂️
They are all rebranded clones of clones. The Dt 01 is a Pig Pp 30 or Cp 30 red Devil, English Man is a Crunch Distortion, and Your Right about Nux, Caline, Dolamo, Mosky, Joyo, Movall, Ahajii, and I could keep going! What do You think about DemonFx pedals? Or Kappa? Like straight rip offs? Guptech is doing some craziness as well. You Rock Sean and good to see You have Your Twin with You! lol Thanks for the awesome tones
Musiclilly is musical. Cuvave is brutal. Fields of lillies for me.
Musiclily hands down!!
The Cuvave fuzz I got was the ungated one, so the Musiclily fuzz is coming to kick it off my board.
I'm wondering if the fuzz is a modified Foxx tone machine circuit rather than a muff. that would explain the octave.
I think you're spot on.
Its definitely a Foxx Tone Machine clone, I have one.
It seems to produce octaves all over the fretboard which is quite interesting. The Muff side however doesn't sound like the same circuit at all! I have a Voodoo Octave somewhere, going to take it out and test it.
It seems like a riff on the Danelectro Hash Browns variant of Foxx Tone Machine, down to the color and overall brightness, but I’d have to play the Musiclily to know.
@@ianmiller652 the French Toast was the clone
See now I want to mode a cuvave to have an octave fuzz switch
I'm sure multiple other people have said this, but my guess is that the fuzz is a foxx tone machine style circuit.
I just got a Pigtone fuzz which I think is the same as the Musiclily. If the special mode is supposed to give a high octave, I think they wired the switch backwards.
Normal mode is very easy to hear the high octave when playing around the 12th fret of the high E. The special mode sounds like what I think a fuzz should sound like.
From what I was seeing in the video, it looked like Ryan's switch was backwards as well.
For the Fuzz, if I had to guess (and I might be completely wrong) considering that this is a relatively low cost pedal, what it sounds like to me is a single silicon transistor being driven very hard. What might be happening is the switch is removing the soft clipping diodes from the second transistor maybe?? This removes the gain limiting that soft clipping has on that gain stage and lets it go nuts. Again, I could be completely off haha.
The English Man Distortion is probably a Carl Martin Plexitone...so no Vox here, but Marshall. The DT-02 Distortion is probably a Wampler Plextortion.
I put a foot switch on my fuzz for change de octafuzz to the muff fuzz is amazing
Hey Brian, I have this octa fuzz, branded Pigtone (I think the model is p-29). Please try it with the neck pickups... Is even better! Very good video
@60 Cycle Hum Can you please do a run-off between the older gating Cuvave, the newer non-gating Cuvave and the MusicLily Fuzz? This will tell me, cause the newer ones don't gate or so we hear out there. We need to know once and for all. Thanks, I knew you could!
I prefer the Musiclily because it reminds me of a late 60's no name Wah/Fuzz/Volume/Octave pedal I owned a long, long time ago...
Why not Both?!!!!!
Keep the Cuvave, but that octave fuzz is interesting.
Damn you. I wasn't going to buy a new pedal. The Chorus is ordered. Seriously, it looks like fun.
Sounds like a Bigmuff with a Boss Hyperfuzz,nice.
OMG! Call the networks! Ryan is playing a Strat!
The octave mode makes it sound more like the Satisfaction Fuzz by Electro Harmonix, but with more adjustable levels
loved the drive ....nice review
I hope there will be a PP69 pedal from MusicLily one of these days.
It will just be an enclosure with male and female XRL ports on it.
The boxes all seemed pretty good, except the Compressor. The Distortion had a nice clarity or definition along w the crunch, so I kinda liked it. Bizarre, so little output tho, it needs a clean boost after it.
Hey Ryan! You’ve done affordafuzzes, affordaverbs, and affordachoruses. Can you shootout all the affordable tremolos? I want to try the effect, but I wanna make sure I like it before I pick up a Walrus Monument
I can't compare tone-wise, but they look a lot like the Teisco pedal line.
