Best fuzz pedal with a blend?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a smooth fuzz sound that can be blended with clean sound in one pedal. A knob to control the wet/dry mix is essential. Any recommendations?

Should also ad that I'm aware of the bass big muff... no wet/dry.

Ideally I want gain, tone, blend, volume.

I'm not sure I'd refer to it as smooth but the Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B has a wet blend function that I find really useful. :)

This! The 'shape' knob on the pickle-pie is v versatile and can get you smooth or very nasty...

You can easily mod the Bass Muff to give you more control of the wet/dry blend if that's the sound you want - it sure is smooth, and also rather cheap. The new MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe may be worth a look also, it's a Tonebender type fuzz with separate wet/dry volume controls.

Thanks, lots of good suggestions! from a brief bit of research i think my top ones are pickle pie, mxr fuzz deluxe, and depth charge.

I love the sound of my setup now, which is a black big muff through a Tym Big Bottom (a great bass loop filter thing), but I just want something simpler and smaller.

The Tym Big Bottom is fantastic - it splits the signal so that the low frequencies go straight through to the amp clean, while the mid/high frequancies go into an effect loop where you can put any pedal. So I get clean low end and fuzzy high end - amazing.

I wouldnt call the Blowtorch smooth at all. Its a very buzzy, synthy fuzz.

Id go for this one too. Ive had a Tonebender clone before and it had that big, smooth sound that you're after. Ive not tried the MXR but it looks ideal.

it is synthy, but not really buzzy to my ears, except with a gut load of treble. get's lost awfully quickly in a mix with distorted guitars too.

on it's own it can be pleasant enough (blended)..
