what makes the the fuzz sound in the Jackson 5's "ABC"?
I would like a pedal that was fuzzy along those lines and not a metall-y distortion pedal. I have the EHX Graphic Fuzz and it's okay, but it's not very tame. I'd like something a little tighter sounding, I guess.

i second that its worth checking out the tonebender mkII clones. the DAM is wonderful but impossible to find. byoc makes a diy kit with top quality stuff. they also make a big muff and fuzz face kit. its easy as shit to wire them up if youve got an iron.

The Little Big Muff is great.
$65 bucks, built like a tank in the new, solid enclosure, and will peel paint off the walls it's so fuzzy.

Yeah, that video didn't help at all - I'm pretty sure it's lip sync'ed.
It's a nice mellow sound though.

Any one happen to know what Santiago Durango used with Naked Raygun on Basement Screams? I always wanted to know, when the guitar comes in I Lie it sounds so good!
I can recommend Euthymia, I've been using their Crucibal Ge for a while now, it sounds huge. Have since got rid of my soundbender, russian big muff, fuzz factory, rat and mxr dist+ because of it.

I own a Fuzz Factory as well. Try and find a used one, if you don't have the money. Zachary Vex is a pleasure to deal with.

I would skip the overpriced zvex pedals and go for the Zoom Ultra fuzz. I had a Zvex Fuzz Factory and it was nice but a bit to random. Had difficulty getting any consistency from the unit. When I came across the Zoom I was amazed at how it managed to capture the chaos of the Zvex but was also easier to dial in for focus if need be. Plus it was 200 dollars cheaper. You could probrably pick up a Ultra Fuzz for like 75.00.
