Sibob Posted July 17 Posted July 17 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. Si 2 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I'm not convinced those differences would be very obvious in the context of a live performance. Quote

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 1 Quote

Si 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! 1 Quote

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. Si 1 Quote
Immo Posted July 21 Posted July 21 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. Quote

aniki Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Ultimate fuzz for bass IMO is the Blackarts toneworks Pharaoh. Massive range of tones and maintains tight low end. Quote
