Best Fuzz for creamy tone

[gusman2x]

In my ideal universe Dave Gilmour is going through YouTube vids right now wondering how come everyone else can so easily get classic Big Muff mayhem and all he can manage is "Mr Smooth" on Comfor..bloody Numb.

Gilmour can't understand how to get that classic J Mascis sound out of his strat

So order the MXR classic 108 Fuzz on Sunday and it arrived by 10:00 on Monday! I discovered a great little pedal shop called Amazon! Wouldn't normally buy guitar gear from there but I had a load of vouchers from a recent birthday and was surprised to see they had the MXR in stock at their own warehouse so what the hell.

Only had a short time with it but it nails the fuzz tone I had in mind, not quite as scooped as the little big muff it will be replacing, much more rich sounding with less wool on the low strings and less shrill on the high. It likes volume though so can't wait to crank it.

Nice

Got my eye on a Mooer Blue Faze

Depending on the pedal, you may have more luck keeping the fuzz pedal volume high and your guitar volume on about 6

Of course, running the Muff through a cranked Hiwatt DR103 might have a little bit to do with it...

i used to have a set-up containing super overdrive and metal zone pedals. my go-to sound was always at 30w amp at full volume with no pedals only channel switching, but having moved into a housing development i ended up playing at much reduced volume and using a super overdrive. i had the metal zone pedal set up so that the sound was similar to that from the super overdirve (obviously the distortion pedal won't sound the same as overdrive, but mt-2 on it's own had a more marshally-sound than from the sd-2). the tone when both pedals were engaged at the same time was lovely, thick and creamy.

i had modified both pedals, but can't remember which mods (the mt-2 removed the wasps-in-a-jam-jar and made it a little more over-drivey and less distortiony, while the sd-2 removed the blanket-over-the-speaker muffling)
