Bass fuzz might be one of the most fun things to experiment with when it comes to pedals. It’s literally getting your amp to sound like it is broken, and placement of your fuzz pedal in the signal chain can make a massive difference to the sound.
This is not the origins of fuzz. That video, thankfully for all of us, has already been made by the deeply knowledgeable and hilariously funny Josh Scott of JHS Pedals. The video is linked below, and I highly recommend checking it out.
I’m here to give you some options for bass, to take a look at signal chain setups, and to see the incredible difference between just four of my favorite fuzzes for bass. We look at two vintage pieces: The Big Muff by EXH/Sovtek, and the Maestro MFZ-1 from 1976, and then two slightly more modern examples the Woolly Mammoth by Zvex, and the Bass BB Preamp by Xotic.
Everything I used in the video, where possible, is linked here. Don’t forget to give the video a thumbs up, and leave me a comment below
