skidder652003 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Ok I know this has been done to death but Im after a seriously, and I mean SERIOUSLY cheap fuzz (under £30) for one whole bit of a song in our set (Heartbreaker -Zepp), thats pretty much all I need it for so Im not splashing out big money (think £35 and up ) plus Im utterly skint at the moment, so..guys/gals whats out there at the moment. A small footprint would also be great as the pedalboard is getting cramped..Mooer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If you're trying to make it sound like the original, I would lean more towards an overdrive than fuzz... and some kind of modulation pedal - I think it was a leslie speaker on the recording? What's on the board already? This would get my vote - https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/TC-Electronic-MojoMojo-Overdrive/EY9 The Joyo Moonbase bass overdrive looks interesting too but not tried it nor seen any real world reviews. Little bit more expensive, but also tiny and perhaps worth a punt: https://www.joyoeffectpedals.co.uk/joyo-jf-332-moonbase-bass-guitar-effect-pedal-overdrive-jazz-blues?language=en¤cy=GBP I'm also selling a Joyo Orange Juice for your magic number of £35 posted too if that's of any interest! If it is definitely more of a fuzz you are after, Chowny Fuzzster perhaps? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, Ive a Pearl phaser which does lovely analogue erm..phase, so could use that I guess (has variable speed as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I don't think the phaser will sound right. Try a tremolo pedal. But, I digress. To echo Dannybuoy's sentiments, you probably won't get the Heartbreaker sound with a fuzz pedal. A lightly pushed Orange Juice should do the trick! Although now I think about it, I've just got hold of a Chowny Fuzzster and it could probably get in the ballpark at least - a bit of light fuzz blended in with the clean. With a tremolo pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Many years ago I even bought an expensive rotary speaker sim pedal just to cover this track, it was kind of a halfway house between a phaser and tremolo, and I could get pretty close with a Small Stone phaser too. Either would work I reckon! I was just giving the Mojomojo a run through with this riff earlier, sounded great. Might have to pick up another rotary sim!

I don’t use it much (I wasn’t particularly in need of a tremolo/Leslie) but I really like it when I do. The overdrive bit is not crazy but very useable and works very well with the tremolo. Time to take it out again I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 It does sound a little but more like an overdrive, can you see still get dod 250s for cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
