The Analog Alien FuzzBubble-45 gets my attention.
Tell me why I should not get a Big Muff.

The price is the main thing that attracts me to it. Don't wanna spend much more than that.
that's a Supafuzz and a fuzzface. not a big muff.Originally Posted by Tig
i like the Mojo Hand Colossus. it's a big muff with a mids control, and it really runs the gamut of muff tones.
Here's another question: Would the Pi with tone wicker be worth the extra 10 bucks? http://proguitarshop.com/electro-har...ne-wicker.html
if you're sticking to EHX products only, then yes, i would get the Tone Wicker over the Pi. but i liked the Colossus better.
whatever you do, don't get the Little Bitch Muff.
You sir, have great taste in music. That's probably my favorite Black Keys song.I've been wanting one for a while now, and I just got paid so I have the extra cash to do so. I'm looking for something kinda like this:

I know Dan uses a Big Muff in his rig. (I think it's the russian version or something.) Here's his rig rundown.
That being said, I have no clue if he used a Big Muff on that actual song, because that fuzz sound is pretty raunchy. It sounds closer to something like this.
It's got that dyeing battery sound to me. Dan's also got a Nu-Fuzz and a Companion fuzz in there, and I have no clue what the heck those things do.
Personally, I think you're on the right track with a Big Muff. Especially if you want to cop sometones and other stuff.

And now I see this in the spam thread on HCI don't have an OD, and supposedly this can sound close to one. The main thing I fear with fuzz is how much I would actually use it. If I got one more versatile like that, it might be more useful
sounds too splatty for me.
Tbh anything I get will be a crapshoot, videos online can really tell me so much. I'll probably just settle on one and hope I like it
why not go try some first? there are big differences in the basic circuits and at least you'd be able to identify what you're looking for.Tbh anything I get will be a crapshoot, videos online can really tell me so much. I'll probably just settle on one and hope I like it
Live in a very rural place, not many shops around here. And those don't stock much, really.
Do some online research, like "fuzz pedal shootout" to get a better idea of the differences:

I went through the spam thread again and found a Way Huge Swollen Pickle for 85, and Earthquaker Dream Crusher for 105.
Also, thanks for the advice so far, I know I don't sound like I know what I want, cause I really don't.
Yep, the Way Huge Swollen Pickle is a worthy pedal. 85 is a sweet deal.
I have no experience with the Dream Crusher.
MTR !

Emailed the guy about the Swollen Pickle. 85 is not including shipping and he's in Canada I think, so i'll have to see how much it'll be if the pics look good.
Because you should get the shin-ei instead.

He said shipping would come out to 98. Still a good deal?
i wouldn't pay 98 cents for a broken link.He said shipping would come out to 98. Still a good deal?
Derp, sorry. Let's try this.
a cursory glance at ebay tells me i can buy one for $89 including free shipping. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...ickle&_sacat=0Derp, sorry. Let's try this.
so no, i wouldn't buy it for $98.
Son has this on-going joke about, the pony. Anyways Earthquaker makes the Hoof, so I sked him if he was interested. He liked another fuzz they make, but I don't remember the name, it's not the Hoof. Hope this post was helpful.I went through the spam thread again and found a Way Huge Swollen Pickle for 85, and Earthquaker Dream Crusher for 105.

I like how the hoof sounds quite a bit, but it's a bit too much. And using a pedal that expense for amps that cost $100 or less doesn't seem right
i think i have a Dano Fab Metal around here somewhere...I like how the hoof sounds quite a bit, but it's a bit too much. And using a pedal that expense for amps that cost $100 or less doesn't seem right
I loves me some good, but cheap guitars, and amps. Some exceptions, but as a general rule, with pedals you gotta spend the cash.
Yeah, i'll probably keep an eye out on the spam and deals thread on HC, if one comes at a nice price ill get it, that way if it turns out I don't like it, I won't lose much/any money on it.
Go ahead and buy one.
If you also want to buy a noise gate.

I've been considering the Big Muff Pi Tone Wicker, or this...
Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Fuzz
I love my Big Muff w/tone wicker. For $100 I couldn't say no. Plus I had a Pi and lost it to sweeten a trade a few year ago. I pretty much have it always with the wicker ON and the tone OFF. Sound absolutely astounding with an OD after it, I use a TS9....for now.
My STRONG recommendation is an MJM Foxey Fuzz. They're harder to find, but I've yet to hear a better Fuzz Pi clone out there. Lush tone and great articulation. You can push this thing hard and still hear every note of the chord. I prefer to set mine less than half way for that old Clapton Cream sound.
Bought one last week after much searching. It is perfect for my needs.I love my Big Muff w/tone wicker. For $100 I couldn't say no. Plus I had a Pi and lost it to sweeten a trade a few year ago.
