Sounds like a pretty awesome pedal. Definitely on my list of fuzzes to try out, once I start expanding my board again. Along with the Supercollider, Redeye, Tonebender Bass Fuzz, Green Stache, Mess Drive Hybrid and Bass Big Muff. I can sense it's gonna be an expensive mission that one. For now, I'm happy with just tube emulation, overdrive, chorus, delay and envelope filter. Doubt that'll last long though.
Toasted Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 It's a good pedal. Troy from Mastodon uses one.
Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 godDAMNIT i just got a Green Stache (GGG-tuned Big Muff) which is VERY similar apparently (the bluebeard apparently being based on an older, discontinued version of the GGG-tuned big muff kit - could be wrong tho) I paid more for the stache (£90) and I think its excellent, but damnit - a real bluebeard AND its cheaper, AND I just gave my girlfriend £60 for two tickets to see Thunder on their final show (her idea not mine, i hate that AOR crap) if i had seen this last night, i would have bought it. hell if I had seen this 5 minutes ago i would have bought it and been at your door in 20 minutes. (i live 15 minutes from harrow) you'll have no trouble selling this, and if you do have a word with me. but yeah.......wrong forum
Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Redzombie - looks like we have similar taste in fuzz, was gonna get a Colorsound BassFuzz (tonebender) this week, but opted for a Tech21 Bass XXL and a Maxon AF9, heard the redeye clip on their myspace - i think better recordings would do the pedal more justice, but those guys seem to make good stuff at fantastic prices and are open to suggestions too. I have the Green Stache (as mentioned above) and have owned a Messdrive Hybrid+ seems like you want either a tonebender or a muff-type fuzz. as far as i understand it, the Coloursound Bassfuzz gets really synthy at higher settings that the other pedals cant (even the supercollider from the clips i heard) which can be a real plus if you want that chris wolstenholme-type fuzz the supercollider is more tweakable, the Hybrid+ is probably the smallest (and a great pedal, but i didnt think its tone was anything too special), the Green Stache just seems to work with my band really well without needing a blend. just my opinions, i saw you had a long GAS list of fuzz and if you're like me, it means you'll have to buy every one before you'll b sure. oh yeah, dont forget the Wren&cuff Pickle Pie B - its an awesome muff clone

But it'll hopefully be worth it! I was quite interested in the Bass Fuzz at first, but not quite sure I want anything too synthy though (not really a fan of Muse, I'm more into Tool and RATM type fuzz). For starters I'll probably just go with the Bass Big Muff since it's cheap, then see if I can get a silicone version of the Redeye built for me, then onto the Green Stache I expect. Who knows where I'll go from there, I do know I eventually want to find the best possible sounding fuzz for my rig/band though. There's also the Zoom Ultrafuzz I'd like to give a shot. Too many pedals, too little money! Thanks for sharing your fuzz experiences, always good to hear how other people get on with their pedals. Can I ask if your bass is active or passive?
