FUZZ suggestions - SORTED

Post by MakoGat »

I feel the need for some fuzz, not modern, more vintage, any recommendations on a "cheaper" fuzz pedal say $60-$120 range?

On Trademe are Behringer BF300 super fuzz, Valeton Red Haze, Lovepedal 200lb.

Look up pepers pedals on Facebook. He's a pedal maker in Dunedin and can pretty much any fuzz pedal for around $100. His quality is top notch.

Ssssshhhhh!!! Damn you! :P I have replaced said Mooer pedal with a Pepers one. Pretty sure he has run out of the latest batch. In the meantime, how about that Mooer Tri Buff, eh? Smooth vintagey goodness galore! ;)

Pepers are generally $110-120 if you want powdercoated enclosure and graphics etc. A plain box should cost a bit less.

If you go to him, might as well ask him to make you a DAM Meathead clone.

The Rogue is probably a Fuzz Face clone.

He sells his pedals way too cheaply, must just love making them!

Lots of cool fuzzes out there, maybe look for a DOD Carcosa on reverb or ebay, they're $99 US new, but coupons often come up for PGS or Prymaxe etc...

Yeah, there is no way he is making money on those, I would doubt he is even covering his time, just raw parts.

Mainly because he mostly sell pedals to crust punks, not worship guitarists or hipsters, haha.

And he's also just doing knockoffs too I guess so they have to be cheaper than the originals :)

True, if you push it too close to used original prices then people would just buy originals.

Also depends on how you market them though, if you market it right you can sell a clone or a slightly modified circuit (or even repainted cheapo pedals) at a premium. Freekish Blues and Dragonfly FX anyone? Haha.
