Fionn Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I'm after a synthy gated fuzz. It's going to be used with active basses. Also, I'll be jamming it between a Markbass octaver and MXR Bass Envelope Filter, to milk the synthtasticness of it. Thinking along the lines of the Mastotron, or Fat Fuzz Factory. I love the sound of the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine too ... you get my drift. Which other fuzz pedals fall into that hemisphere? It's got to be active-friendly, mind 🤙🏻 What are your suggestions folks?

lee650 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) As you know,I've just sold my mastatron! And I'm kicking myself 😔 i do have a tech 21 red ripper which is worth a look if you can find one. I deliberated between the two and the red ripper is more versatile, but takes a lot more tweaking to get a great synth sound out of than the mastatron,when mixed with octave and filter. 3 leaf doom too or a Crowther prunes and custard,they are on the more expensive end though 😁 Edited April 13, 2017 by lee650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Malekko Diabolik gets my vote. I have a TAFM and love it, but never use the gate feature, it's not its strong point if you ask me.

Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Redwitch Zeus is perfect for this, as is the Mastotron but i always struggled to get the zvex to balance in a mix. Dan, i actually LOVE the gate on the TAFM and almost always use it, but its not a strong gate like on the Zeus and zvex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Chunk Systems Brown Dog does a nice synthy/gated sound. Good luck finding one though... Iron Ether Oxide is another good option too. Edited April 15, 2017 by Byo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Gotta say these two are both great choices! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0OD7XpQAU"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0OD7XpQAU[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapper Bandit Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 [quote name='Byo' timestamp='1492271298' post='3279145'] Chunk Systems Brown Dog does a nice synthy/gated sound. [/quote] Double +1 for this! My favourite fuzz ever, though sadly discontinued. They do crop up in the US occasionally but usually for $$$.

Tuco Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I use an oxide for that really tight gate, in my experience it's the tightest out there. I also use a Mastotron, not quite as tight as the IEO but a great gated fuzz. I tend to use the two of them together a lot too, makes for a great saw tooth type sound.
