Ou7shined Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Ok so you've been chatting with a custom effect pedal builder and he's offered to build you a signature bass fuzz. What features would you consider mandatory, what would be on your wish list and what beneficial unique feature would you like on it? I'm thiking dual outputs, a buffered blend for the wet signal and a pad switch for hot pups. Edited September 1, 2016 by Ou7shined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm not sure, not being much of a pedal user but hi, haven't seen you about for a while Hope you are well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) If it's a Big Muff derivative, a feedback loop. I added a momentary switch to my Bass Big Muff for this to link these two points, it boosts the gain and makes everything a little crazier: Edited September 1, 2016 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) I'd love a gated fuzz with a filter (with expression in) and freq boost around the shelving frequency Basically a fuzz and LFO combined. The filter on some octavers is so great, I'd like to see it on a fuzz Edited September 1, 2016 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenra Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ask for a Truly Beautiful disaster clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 ThorpyFX Fallout Cloud (new name for the Muffroom Cloud after EHX got upset) - but with a clean blend. That would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Some real food for thought here.... and we're all good with a blend it would seem. So far (hypothetically of course) we are wanting to stay away from clones but I have to say that Truly Beautiful Disaster is right up my hypothetical effects builders street. We've been collab'ing on modding a discontinued pedal of his (that's how this all got started) but we are actually doing away with it's self-oscillating loop and concentraiting more on a doomy fuzz in this new one. ... however I really like the idea of a built in LFO.

0175westwood29 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've actually got into using blends to just blend two dirty signals together. However for ultimate custom fuzz......Id actually make sure the fuzz has a lot of lows so, but also if needed a mids control. Similar to a Fuzzrocious grey stache. Then I'd actually add in an octave up similar to the eqd tentacle dirty and on a blend so j can have s little or a lot and it's on top of the original signal. Also I'd throw a controllable gate on there aswell! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 3 band EQ (parametric mids would be great) and a decent gate with threshold control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I have a an EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff kicking around. The features on it are great with a blend, a gate, pad switch and footswitchable dual filter section all on there. If you could come up with something like that but then actually make it sound good too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Lots more thought-worthy ideas here, cheers guys. Keep 'em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Bias control to give you the option of tight and focused to farty velcro fuzz and anything inbetween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
