Dr M Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The Big Muff and the Fuzz Face have always sounded pretty good to me for that synthy square-wave harmonics tone. Disclaimer: I don't actually own either of the original analogue pedals, so my experience is based on Line6 models of them - which are usually judged to be pretty good. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Fuzz Faces are good but you need to add a deep bass signal to it really to make it work. The Chunk Systems Brown Dog is really good for this stuff, and apparently so is the Iron Ether Oxide - I've never tried one but that's what it was designed to do. Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Wren&Cuff Picle Pie B user here. It's just another Muff clone but with a very good voicing and the blend knob works wonderfully. Quote
D.I. Joe Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The distortion channel on the Germanium Big Muff is pretty good. You can roll back the voltage and adjust the biasing of the transistors and you can get a nice square-wave kind of sound Quote
nick Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 There are tons of fuzz pedals that provide synthy tones.... I've used a Woolly Mammoth (clone) which is pretty much based on Fuzz Face circuit. Had good results from a MK1 Marshall Guvnor too. [url="http://bassfuzz.com/"]http://bassfuzz.com/[/url] is a good resource. Quote
johnDeereJack Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 +1 for the Iron Ether Oxide, not that I have one (yet!) but from what I've heard on the IE website/YT etc. it fits the bill perfectly. Planning to add that to my GR2's effect loop along with my MXR BOD. Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Wooly Mammoth if you want a gated fuzz, otherwize the SFX Micro Fuzz or MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe! Quote
Fionn Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The Source Audio Soundblox Multiwave bass Distortion is very synthy ... very versatile too. Regular distortion and overdriven sounds too. You can blend the dry bass in and out too, so it doesn't bleed the bass like a lot of pedals. Check it out ...

Elvis Valentine Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I second the soundblox Multiwave disto. Also I had a wooly mammoth clone called a fuzzy elephant lol which was really good and synthy so i suppose the wooly mammoth would be good. Quote
NoirBass Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Best for synth sounds has to be the Coloursound bass fuzz, otherwise the Woolly Mammoth. Quote
