Fuzz is intended to recreate the classic 1960’s tone of an overdriven tube amp combined with torn speaker cones. Old school guitar players (like Link Wray) would use a screwdriver to poke several holes through the paperboard part of the guitar amp speaker to achieve a similar sound. Some fuzz box pedals include:
-
Z.Vex Fuzz Factory
-
Effector 13 Soda Meiser
-
Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face
-
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff
-
Boss FZ-5 Fuzz
Famous songs using the fuzz effect:
-
“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones
-
“Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix
