Samashton12 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi Guys, I'm after a bass fuzz pedal that will put me in the nirvana/muse ballpark.. I love Krist's tone on "Breed" and he used a ProCo Rat on that but I'm not sure about about anything else.. Any decent fuzz boxes that would get me the sound? Sam.

Protium Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ProCo Rat is a decent pedal, or the Turbo Rat with a few tweaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I use a bass big muff. No loss of low end on the 'dry' setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) yo ! you may be better off re-posting this in the Effects forum, that's where most of us pedal junkies check first .. check out the offerings from 'Fuzzrocious'. they'll have something to fit your bill.

Immo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Maybe WMD Geiger Counter (either normal or Civilian Issue)? It's OD, but it delivers nice fuzzy tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The GC is more of a very aggressive distortion circuit... I've been using for ages and the muse stuff it can do well... Bit I don't think it does less aggressive OD sounds well. It's strengths are in the super high gain and bit/sample rate reductions. Something like the Mastotron may suit your needs as its a jack of all trades it goes from fat muff-like sounds to synthy gated mammoth sounds...

jaydentaku Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 doesn't muse man use an envelope filter with his fuzz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I like the RAT a lot. On bass I found that its best when combined with an LS-2 or similar so that you can keep some dry signal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samashton12 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Considering the Rat guys, any opinions on the SansAmp Bass DI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sansamp is more overdrive than fuzz. The Rat should work well, as well as the Grey Stache from Fuzzrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 sansamp a bit 'scooped' for my liking. fuzzrocious also do their version of the 'rat' sound (rat-tail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samashton12 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just pulled the trigger on a Rat (the normal version) heard it sucks up low end though.. be ok if I throw an EQ after it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey R Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I got my Dirty Rat because out of all the dirt boxes I tried that day, it sucked the least bass from the tone. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Really like my Tech 21 Red Ripper, has a kind of filter thing on it that reacts beautifully to dynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Any Earthbound Fuzz will do it all...... basically an upgraded muff, but 1000% improved. I use a Beast in my cover band for Hysteria and Breed to great effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
