You play rock, metal, stoner rock, stoner metal, acid metal, Black Sabbath, stoner death metal, stoner doom metal, stoner stoner metal, acid psychedelic trip stoner metal - YOU NAME IT!
Does anyone know if you can use this pedal on bass guitar? I'm looking for a great fuzz pedal and this one really catches my eye. Any advice? Much appreciated. :)
You should learn some Hendrix and and some blues or what not, It takes much more skill to play Hendrix then any stoner band. Fuzz was made for Acid Rock!
Hey man if you ever get a chance on getting the now discontinued Zoom Ultra-Fuzz(UF-01) you should pick it up.By far the best one that I have tried and own.Love you guy's,gotta go,it's my turn at the bong.
Great review too much talking though(grrr!!!) but he isn't teasing us with micro perceptible amounts of fuzz he's showing what the pedal actually does! As for Stoner Metal? I know exactly what he means and so do you! C'mon he's a young guy playing DOOM that should be celebrated! What a cool kid!
Hey...Thanks a lot, this video helped me so fuckin much, thousand times more than any of those "pro-reviewers". Finally someone actually playing music that is supposed to be played by the pedal, not some fuckin idontknowwhat...Plus - I definitely like you overall approach...(hehe, and especially the "Hendrix" string order ;-) ) and all...DOOM ON, BROTHER!
@otusqueeky1 Well obviously if you are playing it upside down, the opposite way of playing for a standard player, you are aware of the standard way of playing guitar. EADGBE going closest to farthest away from the player. So when I ask you a question, instead of being a stuck up cunt face, answer it without making an attempt to impress your youtube audience.
@Tfr3sh17 Why would I try to impress my audience by giving you an answer like that? It was a fairly simple answer and didn't seem very harsh of a comment to begin with.
I started playing upside down for no reason really, I never knew or thought of playing "the right way" and these days it wouldn't make any sense if I did. So how do I play upside down?... I don't know.. just by playing upside down and figuring things out... There you go. Same exact answer.. "By playing upside down".
Actually if you use the fuzz pedal along with distortion you can get some great black metal tones. Its probably not what they intended when making the pedal but if you have it through the right settings it sounds good playing black metal.
But you're right about the palm muting thing, this pedal sucks playing death/thrash metal, anyways, great review, much better than those annoying people doing their official demonstrations for their companies.
One of the most educated videos I saw on youtube. Usually their filled with idiots who like saying their better than each other. Anyways, I'm looking to get a fuzz pedal, not even sure what I'm getting yet. I was thinking about a FuzzGod by Red Witch, love Red Witch pedals, or a Zvex seeing as it seems everyone loves them. Good video man.
@Foxx36 What are you talking about? Have you ever tried a Les Paul standard? The neck is amazing, unlike an Ibanez with its thin toy-like neck. It's so much easier to bend and vibrate notes on a Les Paul. A Les Paul just feels and sounds so god damn rich. But in the end it's all about taste. Ibanez is mostly for metal use and the Les Paul suits best for rock, blues and so forth.
@otusqueeky1 I'm not contesting that it has a distinct tone, but to me, the neck just ruins every Gibson I pick up. The Ibanez Wizard II neck is the fastest neck I've ever played, whereas the Gibson's smaller scale (I have long fingers), plus the higher action (on most Gibson's I've played) makes it awkward for me to play.
@Foxx36 I don't shred or play fast. I focus on touch, feel, emotion and vibrato. Taking it slow, and focus more on one note instead of playing notes fast. This could simply be called "Taste and style". I've always liked higher action, smaller scale and thick strings.
@otusqueeky1 I see. I don't really shred that much either. The way I see it, whether you're playing fast or not, it's just easier to play, and slow music isn't the only kind with emotion.
Wanna get rid of that Iceman then? :v That's always been one of my most coveted axes.
@Foxx36 Yeah there is a lot of emotion in fast playing too, I agree.
And no, haha. I still find the Iceman nostalgic, since I used to be a big System Of A Down fan back in the day. Even though, I perfer Gibsons or Fender guitars, the Iceman ain't shit. It's got a good neck, but bending's always been a bitch on it.
I like your playing kid. You take me back in my younger guitar playing days in the 70s during my Black Sabbath era. Great riffs!! Glad the young ones are discovering good music from the past.
@otusqueeky1 A dude at a music store recently told me how a lot of the cheaper Gibson's were getting shipped out damaged or fucked in some way, shape, or form, so I've become skeptical of cheaper Gibsons.
@MarshallRoberts My Gibson Les Paul Faded has been in good condition for a good 4 years now. I like its neck more than a 2000 dollar Les Paul Standard. I'd be more concerned about something that's not Gibson.
Gibson Les Pauls have often had a problem with the headstock snapping... Happens often with pricey ones too.
@otusqueeky1 Most of the Gibsons I've tried at stores seem fine. No dents or problems with the inputs etc. I'm very picky when it comes to technical or dent problems.
@otusqueeky1 Well he said it was mostly guitars from the past 4 to 5 years that weren't great, because they used to be handmade, but now a days they just pump them out of factories and ship them off to Guitar Centers and shit.
@otusqueeky1 Sounds good. Would you recommend this pedal over a Big Muff? The jew in me is saying I should just get a Mini Big Muff, but I'm not sure yet. I already have a Metal Muff, which I dig for Thrash metal and the like, so I'm set there. But I need something that produces some really heavy dirges of sound.
@MarshallRoberts I've compared the Mini Muff and the FZ-5 so many times and I still don't know which I like more... The Muff has a muddier sound and the Fz-5 has more of a fuzzier fuzz. I think you should get the Big Muff Wicker. Check that off youtube. An amazing pedal.
@Emilzor92 Cool dude! I'm sure you can get better ones for the price, since this fuzz is digital. I don't really care since I'm still diggin' this pedal!
masta shredda!!!!.. cool demo man. but personally i think the "way huge swollen pickle" is the best fuzz pedal i ever owned i can punch my self in the face 4 sellin it!!!.. keep your eye out for 1 and when you see it play it!!!
@SouthernDoom666 Yeah that's an amazing pedal man. Very versetile. It's a must try. I own a fuzz factory, but I can already tell from the Way Huge Swollen Pickle demos that it may be WAY better.
make that 2000 euro..sorry.. anyway...you're a funny dude. very comical in your delivery. You can play well too, especially for playing upside down...
What kind of guitar did you use first looks like an Ibanez? I have this pedal and my tone sounds nothing like yours its still good but not like yours. Mabye its my shitty amp.
Hahaha, you can do more than that obviously. Hendrix, hard rock in general since it works like an overdrive too. It's not too rough on the lead playing.
Good video - nice job. You should try an old Boss FZ-2 sometime, it is the pedal Jus used on the Dopethrone record. I have one, just sick. I'll also back using Orange amps, I play an Orange Rockerverb 100, just a sick amp. Being in Europe, you should look at Matamp, specifically the GTL. By the way, I have friends with Electric Amps, sound great over a year to get them once ordered and way over priced. Brian H. - Orthodox Fuzz
Man that pedal is so rare dude. A rockerverb 100 is sick, my bro has one. I actually like my Orange AD-30 HTC better because it really handles fuzz well.
Don't Matamp Greens still break very easily? Electric Green amps don't break as easily as Matamps, but they still break quickly as fuck. Wish I had the money for one though. The tone on Sleep's Dopesmoker/Jerusalem is just mind blowing.
The FZ-2 isn't that rare in the US. I don't use any fuzz boxes anymore, prefer an amps natural distortion. I often double my Orange with a Sunn Beta Lead. Matamps (pre 2000) & early Electrics had some issues but those were resolved by the manufacturers. The other guitarist in my band plays a 1998 Matamp GTO 120 Black that has been updated and is the best sounding amp I've ever heard, period. A GT1 is on my list for next year. Check out our tones (we play Gibson as well) myspace - orthodoxfuzz
Old tube PA's go for dirt. Fuzz pedals are about as basic as electronics get. So if you want to build something, that's a good place to start. You'll want to order your transistors though.
have you tried big muff? i'm not too familiar with stoner rock, but i love the 60s fuzz sound. it is like screaming trees or smashing pumpkins. i used to have a small tube blues combo amp that was made by a local guy. i used to have a strat and a duosonic but i mostly use telecaster now....
The F setting stands for "Fuzz Face", M for Maestro. So this thing is supposed to be able to model Hendrixy sounds. Sounds great. Entertaining video. Thanks.
awesome vid!!! i live in america, so i don't know if it's any help but the peavey windsor studio amp is a tube amp, only 20 watts, and its only $400, only thing is im not sure if they sell it international, :( i've also heard a lot of good things about orange, im pretty sure thats what angus young used though im not sure, so yeah awesome vid and keep on rockin!
nice review, but your comment about tube amps was a bit overshot!
my marshall tube amp (el84 20/20) is a 20watt stereo power amp which i use with the marshall tube jmp-1.. together they cost me £400, which i think is what you would pay for a decent solid state, but its much nicer! theyre rack mounted amplifiers though, which might put some people off. however, the amp has 4 channels which can be saved in 100 patches, so theres loads of flexability ;D
Oh wow that's nice! Damn dude! I got myself an Orange AD-30HTC recently. I won't tell you the price because I know that you'd kill me for telling you xD
And yeah fuzz pedals kick ass :D Got myself a Zvex Fuzz factory too. Isn't that what Muse uses?
Actually...I never said it wasn't digital. But, actually, its better than stupid cheap pedals, because it uses something called "COSM Modeling", (look it up), and it uses digital electronics to make any type of sound you want, right down to the original sound.
first i am a lefty to although i ve got a lefty les paul.secondly i am really into stoner and hard rock of 60s 70s 80s .does this petal worth its money for things like these?
Gotta admit, it ain't the best out there. There are a lot better ones. The best fuzz you can get is from a good old tube amp with a lot of overdrive or then the fuzz factory pedal. I also LOVE the angry fuzz pedal.
Boss FZ-5 Fuzz Pedal. The last guy said FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, and he obviously knows nothing about guitar, because the FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz is a discontinued Boss Fuzz Pedal.
I have the Fuzz Face. It's pretty good. Sounds good on bass.

I'll also back using Orange amps, I play an Orange Rockerverb 100, just a sick amp. Being in Europe, you should look at Matamp, specifically the GTL. By the way, I have friends with Electric Amps, sound great over a year to get them once ordered and way over priced. Brian H. - Orthodox Fuzz

Man that pedal is so rare dude. A rockerverb 100 is sick, my bro has one. I actually like my Orange AD-30 HTC better because it really handles fuzz well.
Don't Matamp Greens still break very easily? Electric Green amps don't break as easily as Matamps, but they still break quickly as fuck. Wish I had the money for one though. The tone on Sleep's Dopesmoker/Jerusalem is just mind blowing.

The FZ-2 isn't that rare in the US. I don't use any fuzz boxes anymore, prefer an amps natural distortion. I often double my Orange with a Sunn Beta Lead. Matamps (pre 2000) & early Electrics had some issues but those were resolved by the manufacturers. The other guitarist in my band plays a 1998 Matamp GTO 120 Black that has been updated and is the best sounding amp I've ever heard, period. A GT1 is on my list for next year.

Yeah I agree. I'd rather use the drive my Orange has, but for a boost I'd use a fuzz box. I'd love to try a matamp.

Well they're pretty rare in scandinavia at least. I know one store in Finland with a small selection of them. I ordered mine from thomann. de

Old tube PA's go for dirt. Fuzz pedals are about as basic as electronics get. So if you want to build something, that's a good place to start. You'll want to order your transistors though.

have you tried big muff? i'm not too familiar with stoner rock, but i love the 60s fuzz sound. it is like screaming trees or smashing pumpkins. i used to have a small tube blues combo amp that was made by a local guy. i used to have a strat and a duosonic but i mostly use telecaster now....

It looks to me like he has the Low E on the bottom though and his high E on the top so I'm pretty sure he is playing upside down.

god bless you for not wanking around on hendrix solos like every other pedal review. it's good to hear the words "stoner" and "doom" on a pedal demo.
relapse555 2 years ago
The F setting stands for "Fuzz Face", M for Maestro. So this thing is supposed to be able to model Hendrixy sounds. Sounds great. Entertaining video. Thanks.

awesome vid!!! i live in america, so i don't know if it's any help but the peavey windsor studio amp is a tube amp, only 20 watts, and its only $400, only thing is im not sure if they sell it international, :( i've also heard a lot of good things about orange, im pretty sure thats what angus young used though im not sure, so yeah awesome vid and keep on rockin!
randomfoo95 2 years ago
nice review, but your comment about tube amps was a bit overshot!
my marshall tube amp (el84 20/20) is a 20watt stereo power amp which i use with the marshall tube jmp-1.. together they cost me £400, which i think is what you would pay for a decent solid state, but its much nicer! theyre rack mounted amplifiers though, which might put some people off. however, the amp has 4 channels which can be saved in 100 patches, so theres loads of flexability ;D
love fuzz, the more fuzz the better :)

Oh wow that's nice! Damn dude! I got myself an Orange AD-30HTC recently. I won't tell you the price because I know that you'd kill me for telling you xD
And yeah fuzz pedals kick ass :D Got myself a Zvex Fuzz factory too. Isn't that what Muse uses?
otusqueeky1 2 years ago
orange - awesome. yeah, the fuzz factory is the pedal associated with muse... plug in baby eeeowowowowow noise :P

Behringer sucks...in a sense...they breakdown a lot, (they are cheap/low priced for a reason), and also, they are bad electronics.
GuitarTube11 2 years ago
this pedal is digital
alterdcrash 2 years ago
Actually...I never said it wasn't digital. But, actually, its better than stupid cheap pedals, because it uses something called "COSM Modeling", (look it up), and it uses digital electronics to make any type of sound you want, right down to the original sound.
GuitarTube11 2 years ago
c'mon, that green behringer (i think it was a dist) was cool. Was only 30 bucks, and has good enough to compete with the others dist pedals..
But, i think, just that can do it xD

Gotta admit, it ain't the best out there. There are a lot better ones. The best fuzz you can get is from a good old tube amp with a lot of overdrive or then the fuzz factory pedal. I also LOVE the angry fuzz pedal.
otusqueeky1 2 years ago
Awesome review man, I'm definately gonna get one.
It's damn weird seeing people play like that though, Dan Swano does it but I'm used to him playing like that hahah.

Boss FZ-5 Fuzz Pedal. The last guy said FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, and he obviously knows nothing about guitar, because the FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz is a discontinued Boss Fuzz Pedal.

well she might have got it when it wasnt discontinued,just because its not in production doesnt mean she doesnt have that one
