Share your FUZZ tones please....!

"Freeform blues"? Please, explain.

Basically just me putting something like "The Thrill is Gone", "Low Rider",12 bar, maybe some C minor slow, blues; and I just improvise a blues jam out of it until someone tells me to shut up because they're trying to sleep.
But I just never found a good way to incorporate fuzz into my style all that well. just seemed too heavy. I want some very moderate fuzz for some blues/rock. Maybe someone here has some good pointers. I'll look into these pedals in the thread and continue to play with my muff.

If using a real amp, the fuzz typically needs the volume dime'd to push the amp. Then roll your guitar volume down to whatever is your sweet spot.

IMHO ^^^^ this is how the great old fuzz tones were achieved. Not a particularly easy way to play, but a truly wild ride. If you don't use fuzz this way, it is eye opening when you do.

Unity is not a good reference point when using fuzz any more than you would want a nitro funny car to behave on public roads at legal speeds.


Modeling, like I do these days, is a different story.

Word. Also, where you put the fuzz in word chain is very important.

I just installed a Foxrox buffer into my rmc2 so I can use the wah first works well

Cool! Yeah fuzz doesn't like stuff in between it and the guitar.

I did have the fuzz behind the wah and managed to get a good sound but it took some tweaking.
