What’s your favorite Tonebender? (lemmy.ml)

The title says it all, but to go into a bit more detail- I’ve got a fuzz face or 3, too many big muffs, and 1 foxx tone fuzz and none of these are working for my pedalboard layout or tone.

Im doing the dive into tonebenders to 1. Add that flavor to my collection and 2. Hopefully find a cool sound for the heavier parts in my current band.

Im aware there’s mk.1,1.5, and 2 seem to be the most popular. I’m interested in the keeley fuzz bender, the eqd park fuzz, and the solidgoldfx communication breakdown.

What entry into this fuzz type am I not thinking of? What’s your favorite tonebender fuzz

I think with fuzz, it's very reactive to what it is being mixed with. For my board, I tried a BoneTender and found it got really lost when mixed with other pedals, or at least I perceived it as a volume drop.

Good thing about something like the carcosa is that it's very tweakable so most players should be able to find a setting that will do what they want with their rig.

Tweakability is important and I do know that there are a lot of fuzzes that give a lot of options! I’ll have to check out the carcosa and the walrus audio eons.

And I find newer fuzz interpretations, most have added mids and gain for more modern fuzz, and that is designed to get around the perceived volume drop I think you’re talking about.

I’m gonna check out a boss waza fuzz lol

Aye, I think you just need to try some out. I'd only go expensive once you've confirmed the general profile does what you need it to. Remember fuzz is cheap to build!
