Fuzz Pedals

[Johnny Mac]

I've got an old Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff from the 70's and its mental.

Might be worht considering the 'Build your own clone' Mark II Tonebender. My one sounds excellent, comes with NOS transisters, excellent components, easy to put together (as long as you can solder) and costs about £60. I have a Fuzz Factory which sounds amazing and is very versitile but takes me about 5 hours to dial in. I also have a little big muff but the Tonebender has much better tone. So on balance the Tonebender is the best fuzz I have owned.

Build Your Own Clone has some great stuff using the vintage parts/designs and modern twists on it.  True bypass switching, negative grounds, and easy to build yourself.

You can browse their site and look at what they have.  I have a BYOC large beaver (The Big Muff clone).  I built the triangle era version and it is great for a really high gain Fuzz.  I also have the Zvex Fuzz Probe.  The Zvex pedal is really just insane.  You never quite know what will come out of that thing.  Really pricey, but if you get one there is nothing like it I have ever encountered.  I am not sure about the distributor for BYOC stuff in Europe, but if you ask on their forum they will fill in any details or answer any other questions really quick.

Used them once so far, got a compressor, fuzz, and confidence booster kit, all arived next day special delivery, with some rather cool free picks. So will use again as soon as I have some money.
