So although skint I'm still gassing for a new Fuzz Pedal that hit's the right spot. I've pretty much given up on fuzz face based designs due to trying a load already. I'm after something between the 90's fuzz-rock bass tones of Dinosaur Jr/Pavement/Yuck to that modern bass heavy electronic/dub influenced fuzz sound similar to that heard in Radiohead(national anthem)/Mars Volta/Elbow(grounds for divorce).


I play in a post-punk/ noise-rock/indie band see sig for links
I have the EHX knockout to sculpt tone and add a low freq boost for a subby sound when required but need the fuzz to feed into it.

Been through the following Fuzz's for the following reasons

Fender Sub:lime - Almost perfect but a bit too subtle and nice, not enough bit/treble, also found myself struggling with the clean dirt cross over sounding a bit middy
Wooly Mammoth - Too Bassey and one trickish
Rat w/ruetx mod - Sounded too much like motorhead and too much low end loss
Mojo Tone Huckleberry - Too much low end loss, just didn't sit right
Sub:decay Flying Tomato - Too much low end loss/mid emphasis, sound not what I have in my head figure fuzz face tone is just not me
Bogdan Polish Hate - not fuzzy/aggressive enough

I want something with a full freq response, no loss of lows some aggressive highs and bite

Currently I am eying up the following options a Brassmaster Clone (looks like it would be a custom request at the moment) , the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine or a Tone Bender derivative (MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe, [sfx] Micro Fuzz and Myrtle Corvid Fuzz)

Opinions or suggestions invited?

Mnn still interested in trades got propper gas for a streamliner

Much remis in my failure to leave feedback sooner following purchasing a Bogdan Mephisto from this fine gent
All transacted smoothly

Recently traded a pedal with this fine gentleman,
proper job

Top fella, transaction was a charm

I think the bass amp sim category is catered for well in the bass market (ie VT style pedals) most players want OD and Fuzz pedals that meld well with their current gear not completly change the tone of it IMHO.

Personally I think any company that brought out low and med gain OD's, a classic fuzz and a full on modern synthy Fuzz with the following control's would be onto a winner

Clean blend control with a tone control that is a low pass filter freq roll off control (ie so you have full signal clean blend or turn down for just the very lowest clean signal) and then sepeare control's of Gain, Low, Mid and Treble Tone control's both cut and boost (switches to change centre freq of each tone control would also be nice) and dirty signal volume control. If your really ambitious keep in a standard MXR size case, again a low gain, a medium gain, classic fuzz and synth modern fuzz would kill with these control's.

Other idea's would be the Filter section of the EHX bass micro synth as stand alone pedal I'd pay for that favourite bass filter I've ever heard.

I've found the EHX knock out pretty usefull for this task. The high fulter is almost useless in my passive p/j for any meaning full eqing but the dry and low knob have a impressive aray of available sounds when tweaked. Rolling off all high and dry's and just setting the low knob for eIther unity or volume drop or boost give's a mean dub bass tone. Playing with low and dry mix takes from a slightly more defined Subby dub sound to just adding a little warmth or bass boost to your normal sound

The only thing holding back is the bypass i'm a total obsessive when it comes to true bypass.
I maybe swayed over time so let me think on it

Bought a a EHX LPB-2ube pedal from Sam, promtly posted and packed like a pro can't wait to get it home and test it out

T'was a pleasure

I believe this is Fuzz face based with Bass and Treble tone controls (active I believe) Bais control with synthy behavior, buffer switch to make active friendly volume and gain on top,

Yea i have a puma 212 combo too

I also have same said GAS

pm me if the current swap doesn't go through

Would love to hear how this sounds i don't suppose you've got any recordings of the rig do you
How would you compare the sound of the Terror bass through the GS 112 compared to the Orange Isobaric 10s and 12s

Saw you were interested in a tecamp 212 combo else where on the board I might be tempted for a trade + some cash
