  • Any recommendations on a fuzz pedal and a baritone guitar?

    I tend to like scooped muff stoner fuzzes but it'd be nice to have the option to cut through the mix a bit. I also like stacking 'em up.

    And baritone wise I've a real hankering for something with a nice tremolo arm and a sparkle paintjob - some of those Gretsches look great but I've not been super impressed with the way many of the modern ones play. Not sure if that's just my experience tho.

  • I've been eyeing up the Fender Bass VI very recently (that and a twelve string electric), I've got a hankering to play Jet Harris type stuff and the Crossroads theme tune... Obvs...

  • Sorry this will be very vague but there are some Muff based fuzzes with a mids switch or pot which will probably do the trick for you. Skreddy definitely does some, or you could mod an old school big box muff quite easily!

    Also something like a Fuzz Face on steroids like the DAM meathead is a very good sounding stonery fuzz. Again, a few pedal makers make their version. Very simple DIY project too if you’re into that kind of stuff, and you could add a footswitchable pre volume to clean up/open the floodgates as needed...!

    @Brommers some gain pedal would be definitely an early purchase in my view, the Mosky Golden Horse off AliX for ~£16 making a VERY strong case for itself, then I’d jump head first into some echo and/or verb, but that’s me. It really depends a lot on what you fancy playing! It’s a great time to be alive in terms of effect pedals as cheap but perfectly fine clones are readily available so with under 100 quid you could put together a very decent little signal chain, which would have been mad only 10 years ago..!

  • This 60 Cycle Hum video has a baritone played through 37 fuzz pedals (in sequence). From memory, a muff sounded best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z70yNGWGsQ

    As Alex said above, a mid control muff would be great. I would definitely buy the Deluxe if I didn't already own several varients. Has an inbuilt noise gate too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdLvka7XP_0
