PatrickJ Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Since becoming bandless I've been really interested in a lot of old Jamoriquai. I'm interested in a synthy fuzz to play songs like Deeper Underground and Feels Just Like It Should. Any recommendations, I don't have a lot of room on my board so something no bigger than an MXR sized pedal and I'd like a dry single blend feature too.

Al Krow Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Zvex Mastotron? (There's one in the FS at the moment on at a very fair price). Also worth checking out this thread, which seems to cover similar territory: Edited July 7, 2019 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Malekko Diabolik gets my vote. Tons of low end, raspy but not overly harsh, very expressive to playing dynamics, slightly gated to give separation to staccato notes, and, er, well squelchy. https://youtu.be/qlXpGqW4m84/?t=300 Edited July 7, 2019 by dannybuoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I used a Digitech BSW for Deeper Underground. It got close enough as long as I was careful with picking dynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhammers Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 3Leaf Audio's Doom is often considered a "synthy" fuzz https://www.3leafaudio.com/doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I've actually off loaded my Mastotron since my earlier post on this thread and have taken quite a shine to the Tech 21 Red Ripper pedal, although it's out of production and doesn't seem to come up used that often. It really does provide versatile sonic options, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Zvex mastotron gets my vote. It's a staple on my board and running into an octave, its fast becoming my signature sound. Until very recently I had 2 on my board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) For what the OP has stipulated the your Doom is the only thing I can think off. Mastatron would be ideal but no clean blend (add an LS2 and voila clean blend) The diabolik as Danny mentioned,or if you can find one I believe the subdecay flying Tomato is a synthy fuzz (I could be wrong) Red ripper Prunes & Custard Mxr blowtorch Emma Octo Njos (with added octaver) All synthy but large!! Is the OP still looking!! 😂 Edited October 25, 2019 by lee650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Prunes and Custard for sure. Or Iron Ether Oxide is pretty synthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've decided that I hate all Bass overdrives and I'm going to move on my VMT Deluxe which will free up more space on the pedal board so a larger stomp box would be fine.

I forgot about the oxide and I owned one too😂 yes very synthy but also insane! It sounds amazing but I couldn't get it to work in my setup.

Al Krow Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Doom and this new Doom 2 a bit anaemic? Definitely prefer the Mastotron or even better the Red Ripper to this, and the Mastotron is half the price. But at the end of the day it's you're / your choice 😉 @PJ-Bassist why the angst with drive pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, they always sound great for other people but absolute crap for me. Been through tons of them (B3K, VMT, Tight Drive, MXR Bass Overdrive) and not found one I get on with unless I'm using it for a bit of subtle grit (for which the B3K was actually the best). 3 hours ago, ordep said: Thanks, I used to have the V1 years ago, didn't ever use it but will check out the V2. The pedal I really want to check out is the C4 Synth by source Audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
