Any cheap fuzz gems out there?

[lefrash]

I'm looking for a fuzz pedal. Ideally it will have a blend but not essential. I'm skint too. So, lets hear about all your cheapo fuzz finds! I'm thinking of joyo, Harley Benton, all the Chinese copies...... Any wee gems out there

[dannybuoy]

I don't know of very many cheap ones that are usable on bass except for the EHX Bass Big Muff, Mooer Thunderball and Mooer Fog.

The Rat does the fuzz thing pretty nicely on bass! And can be shaped nicely too with other pedals as it seems to take them well.

I have a Behringer BOD100 Bass Overdrive sat on my desk - which gets rather gnarly, think it's a Boss ODB3 clone. Yours for the price of the postage mate it that's any use to you.

It's got a blend and I seem to remember finding it pretty fuzzy. Haven't used it in ages but if you are interested I'll check it over.

I quite like the sound of the EHX Lumberjack on bass, (sounds better than it does on guitar IMO). Anyone here got one of those?)

If you're ok with a soldering iron, get a Wooly Mammoth or Muff kit from FuzzDog, probably £30-£35 tops

there was a great demo vid on bass a while back for the behringer superfuzz. I picked one up on the back of that, for less than £15.

really, really didn't get on with it myself, but others did - could be worth a shot?

Not sure that these type of questions really get anywhere unless some reference tones are given.

Sorry i probably didnt explain myself properly. OP was saying that theyd like a blend. I thought that a small/cheap blend loop pedal might be easier than trying to find a fuzz with blend control. I know they said it wasnt necessary, but thought it might be helpful anyhow.

Normally I'd agree, but as it's more about getting a wee list of options, it allows myself (and others) to go research what has been suggested.

I don't think at this price point it's too easy to be picky and choosy anyway.

Yes, I got that abouta blend/loop pedal and I agree it's probably a better way to go.
But the '???...' was because when I followed the link it goes to a web page for a USB / Arduino add on widget :-)

Aye, I was a bit '???' With that. Haha. The reason its not essential is because I have an ls2 on my board and a rewiring will remove the need for a blend on the pedal 😀

yep - no Bluetooth or USB protocol there :-)

The EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff has blend, is cheap, and I kept it over more expensive boutique options... Just wish it was smaller.

Just reread your post and noticed your offer. That's such a nice thing to offer. Think I'm going t get a mooer fuzz fog, but thank you!

[Jamiexsilver]

Have a look on ebay for the little bear bs1, a wooly mammoth clone, they're on for £30 ish with free shipping (from china) or every now and again they list them for 24 hours at 99p with £11 shipping. I picked on up for £20 inc postage.
Really surprised by the quality and it sounds great too.

[hrnn1234]

I wanted to mention the little bear as well. I got it from amazon (but from the same seller as in aliexpress). it does everything as in the video, but somehow I expected a fuzz to be a little less brutal.

[lefrash]

I've went for the mooer fog fuzz. Not sure how I'll cope with such a small pedal, but I'll see how it goes.

I saw those wooly mammoth clones too. I may try one next if the mooer doesn't work out!

[FingersAndThumbs]

Hi been following this, as I find myself in the same position. Please update on how you get on with the fog as in two minds wether to pull the trigger on one.
