    Default Narrowed down the FUZZ choices, opinons?

    So I've narrowed down my choices of my next fuzz pedal down to 3.

    "The Germ" by Hazel Effects, hybrid silicon/germanium cool sounding pedal lots of nastiness
    Fulltone '69, sounds like a classic style with a bit more gain
    Analogman Sunface, love every clip I've heard from them. So many choices of transistors are confusing me a little though.

    Anyone had any experience with any of these, or been blown away by something I may have overlooked.

    I play mostly Blues and BluesRock but really kinda go where the wind takes me. I already have a Fuzz Factory and Free Fuzz. Had a fuzz face mini but wasn't that impressed with it.

    Any input is appreciated. Thanks

    Fuzz pedals are so hard to figure out sometimes. I haven't tried any in your list, but still the best one I've ever heard or played was the Hoochie Mama. It's really expensive though. What you want to look for is one that cleans up really well when you roll off the volume at the guitar.

    What Spud said, plus fuzz pedals can be really picky on how they work with different amps and pickups.
    Instead of helping narrow your list down, all I can do is add to it!
    The Wampler Velvet Fuzz is the only one that has really grabbed me.

    Mostly Divid Gilmour songs, but he demo's humbuckers at 5 minutes.


    And now with different pedals

    Check out Klinger Custom pedals if you haven't done so.

    That velvet fuzz sounds great, I also am hurting for the Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Fuzz
