BassAgent Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Last night, I was at a concert of Nordmann, a Belgian jazzrock group. Amazing band with a great bass player (Dries Geusens) and on two tracks, he used a great fuzz sound. I spoke to him afterwards and he told me he used an Aguilar Octamizer with a Fuzzistor. I already have a great octaver (MXR) and was wondering if there are more fuzzes that are as tight as the Fuzzistor. Has anyone compared it to for example a MXR M84? This is Dries' sound: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlittle Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I’ve had a good few fuzz pedals over the years. You can get close to this with a Way Huge Swollen Pickle, but I would also have a look at 3 Leaf Audio’s Doom 2. That’s what I use now and it’s for very synthy tones like this 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Or just get a Fuzzistor if they’re still being made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 They are still being made but I was wondering if people have tried one, thought "hmm this is good but [pedal X] is better". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Oh yeah I understand but if the tone you heard was bang on the sound you were after the easiest way to get that sound would be with the same gear. I just sold a Red Witch Zeus which is a octave/fuzz and it can do a great synth like tones. If I were buying a fuzz for that synthy thing the Doom2 would be top of my list.

krispn Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’d been looking at that too. Classy in the sliver finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 to me that sounds very much like a generic fuzz pedal with blend and the tone rolled off on the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
