Was reading about these yesterday, funnily enough. Sounds like a pretty awesome pedal.

Definitely on my list of fuzzes to try out, once I start expanding my board again. Along with the Supercollider, Redeye, Tonebender Bass Fuzz, Green Stache, Mess Drive Hybrid and Bass Big Muff. I can sense it's gonna be an expensive mission that one.

For now, I'm happy with just tube emulation, overdrive, chorus, delay and envelope filter. Doubt that'll last long though.

godDAMNIT i just got a Green Stache (GGG-tuned Big Muff) which is VERY similar apparently (the bluebeard apparently being based on an older, discontinued version of the GGG-tuned big muff kit - could be wrong tho)

I paid more for the stache (£90) and I think its excellent, but damnit - a real bluebeard AND its cheaper, AND I just gave my girlfriend £60 for two tickets to see Thunder on their final show (her idea not mine, i hate that AOR crap)

if i had seen this last night, i would have bought it. hell if I had seen this 5 minutes ago i would have bought it and been at your door in 20 minutes. (i live 15 minutes from harrow)

you'll have no trouble selling this, and if you do have a word with me.


but yeah.......wrong forum

Redzombie - looks like we have similar taste in fuzz, was gonna get a Colorsound BassFuzz (tonebender) this week, but opted for a Tech21 Bass XXL and a Maxon AF9, heard the redeye clip on their myspace - i think better recordings would do the pedal more justice, but those guys seem to make good stuff at fantastic prices and are open to suggestions too.

I have the Green Stache (as mentioned above) and have owned a Messdrive Hybrid+

seems like you want either a tonebender or a muff-type fuzz.

as far as i understand it, the Coloursound Bassfuzz gets really synthy at higher settings that the other pedals cant (even the supercollider from the clips i heard) which can be a real plus if you want that chris wolstenholme-type fuzz

the supercollider is more tweakable, the Hybrid+ is probably the smallest (and a great pedal, but i didnt think its tone was anything too special), the Green Stache just seems to work with my band really well without needing a blend.

just my opinions, i saw you had a long GAS list of fuzz and if you're like me, it means you'll have to buy every one before you'll b sure.


oh yeah, dont forget the Wren&cuff Pickle Pie B - its an awesome muff clone

Yeah, I can definitely see it being a long, drawn-out and expensive affair lol. But it'll hopefully be worth it! I was quite interested in the Bass Fuzz at first, but not quite sure I want anything too synthy though (not really a fan of Muse, I'm more into Tool and RATM type fuzz). For starters I'll probably just go with the Bass Big Muff since it's cheap, then see if I can get a silicone version of the Redeye built for me, then onto the Green Stache I expect. Who knows where I'll go from there, I do know I eventually want to find the best possible sounding fuzz for my rig/band though.

There's also the Zoom Ultrafuzz I'd like to give a shot. Too many pedals, too little money!

Thanks for sharing your fuzz experiences, always good to hear how other people get on with their pedals. Can I ask if your bass is active or passive?
