Fuzz - talk to me

[Sibob]

Fuzzrocious Grey Stache with tone-bypass mod….gigged mine the past weekend and it is proper!

Creamy Muff vibes without that mid cut that Muffs are famous for. The GS does have a mids control to be fair, but I’ve now found that I prefer the tone stack bypassed altogether.

I'm not convinced those differences would be very obvious in the context of a live performance.

You can actually pick up on it, it’s subtle but I like being able to move where the bass sits using the fuzz 

 

il try and do a video with it in a mix

You can't really go wrong with the Grey Stache, or pretty much any fuzz from Fuzzrocious to be fair. I miss my kid-paint stache with the gate. It was a bit of a monster!

I hear you, I went searching for my old gated kid-paint one a few months ago, but not a sausage. Wonder what it’s upto now.

 

Still the small enclosure one I have now with tone bypass is excellent. And pink.

I found this weird thing - Musontek FurFur - when something tempted me to type "fuzz" into search bar of a local e-commerce platform. It immediately caught my attention do to its ridiculous looks, but I checked YouTube and was sold when a guy did nice Iommi with it and decided to chance it for bass.
Turned out it is a wonderful general purpose fuzz with attitude and lots of tonal capabilities. It can be fine tuned from regular distortion to outrageous, screaming chugs. With a low gain OF before it it shines even more. It is tiny (think Mooer size), well-made (checked the guts, the PCB is nicer than in EHX stuff!), nicely packaged, and relatively cheap.

Controls:

• FUR = Fuzz
• RUF = Volume (unity with clean signal at 9'o clock)
• L/M/H = voicing toggle (actually in a different order - I take it it's a 1-0-1 switch, so I'd argue the letters mean: L = Lancinate (bright), M = Muddy (dark), H = Heaving (medium); if the switch ever breaks, I'll substitute it with a rotary switch putting the modes in more intuitive order).
• It also has two easy-access trim-pots for BIAS and BODY on the side.
