Ok I know this has been done to death but Im after a seriously, and I mean SERIOUSLY cheap fuzz (under £30) for one whole bit of a song in our set (Heartbreaker -Zepp), thats pretty much all I need it for so Im not splashing out big money (think £35 and up ;)  ) plus Im utterly skint at the moment, so..guys/gals whats out there at the moment. A small footprint would also be great as the pedalboard is getting cramped..Mooer?

If you're trying to make it sound like the original, I would lean more towards an overdrive than fuzz... and some kind of modulation pedal - I think it was a leslie speaker on the recording? What's on the board already?

This would get my vote - https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/TC-Electronic-MojoMojo-Overdrive/EY9

The Joyo Moonbase bass overdrive looks interesting too but not tried it nor seen any real world reviews. Little bit more expensive, but also tiny and perhaps worth a punt:

I'm also selling a Joyo Orange Juice for your magic number of £35 posted too if that's of any interest!

 

If it is definitely more of a fuzz you are after, Chowny Fuzzster perhaps?

Thanks for that, Ive a Pearl phaser which does lovely analogue erm..phase, so could use that I guess (has variable speed as well)

I don't think the phaser will sound right. Try a tremolo pedal.

 

But, I digress.

 

To echo Dannybuoy's sentiments, you probably won't get the Heartbreaker sound with a fuzz pedal. A lightly pushed Orange Juice should do the trick! Although now I think about it, I've just got hold of a Chowny Fuzzster and it could probably get in the ballpark at least - a bit of light fuzz blended in with the clean.


With a tremolo pedal  :biggrin:

Many years ago I even bought an expensive rotary speaker sim pedal just to cover this track, it was kind of a halfway house between a phaser and tremolo, and I could get pretty close with a Small Stone phaser too. Either would work I reckon!

I was just giving the Mojomojo a run through with this riff earlier, sounded great. Might have to pick up another rotary sim!

I bought one for the same reason. I don’t use it much (I wasn’t particularly in need of a tremolo/Leslie) but I really like it when I do. The overdrive bit is not crazy but very useable and works very well with the tremolo.

Time to take it out again I think.
