Hello!
The T68 Morricone is a cheaper option and hand made in the UK but will ship to the USA fully insured for a small amount. Check out the demo here
Cheers!

They seem to be sold out currently, but I've been using a Rite-O Fizz Fuzz that I got pretty cheap on eBay. Has enough tweaks that you can really nail the 60s nasal fuzz, doesn't sound modern at all. You can hear it on this track starting at 0:50 —No Springs, the premiere lo-fi bedroom one-man surf band! |

The General Guitar Gadgets fuzzrite kit was perfect for me |

I have a lot of original and newer fuzz pedals but the Shin Ei Fuzz Wahs are the best for me. I have a 1960's and '73. |

I've built a couple of Silicon Fuzzrites and they sound really good but they are super noisy. The General Guitar Gadgets version linked above is missing the 22k resistor to ground that I think is essential to get the buzzy tone. I put it on a switch so I can take it out of the circuit for a bass and volume boost. Great to put on a dedicated footswitch w/LED as well. I'm now experimenting with the Germanium version, which sounds a lot better but it still needs tweaking. Catalinbread already sells the Silicon Fuzzrite but they've just come out with the Germanium version and IMO it sounds phenomenal. Last edited: Aug 26, 2022 07:10:49 |

I've seen those, looks really cool. I had the western fuzz but oddly the general guitar gadget fuzzrite was "buzzier" to my ears for my rig lol. |

Well, perhaps I'm not as sophisticated as many of the posters above, but I'm still using my old Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. Requires 9V battery which drains extremely fast if you leave your patch cables plugged in, and has no provisions for external power. But, its a well known sound and it sure does the job enough for me. I feel no need to try a plethora of Fx in an attempt to replace it. Is there something out there that does a better job and would fit me better? Probably so, but I'm not willing to spend the months cycling through pedals to find it. |

I was a Fuzz face fiend through and through but I started breadboarding Fuzzrites and Tone Benders and I fell in love. |

I know we’re in a surf guitar forum, but please indulge me. I’ve just happened to have watched “A Fistful of Dollars” and “For a Few Dollars More”. Both are quite good. Naturally the soundtracks are fantastic, but I’ve noticed there seemed to be an entire lack of fuzz on any guitar parts. A quick skipping through “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” soundtrack turned up no fuzz guitar as well, unless I just missed it. But that’s got me wondering where exactly this connection between Spaghetti Westerns and fuzz guitar comes from. Am I missing something? Is it collective misremembering? On non-Morricone soundtracks? Thoughts? I’d really like to hear some examples from the old flicks. Thanks in advance! |

The fuzz guitar comes in about 1 minute in, but the intro is a great build up. —TarantinosNYC |

Ah, cool. Thanks! There appear to be a couple other songs on that particular soundtrack that use the same type of fuzz. I wonder if there’s more out there or not. Regardless, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! |

There is not as much fuzz in spaghetti western music as most people think. TarantinosNYC |

Look into soundtracks by Louis Bacalov and Riz Ortelani as well. —TarantinosNYC |

not exactly the mosrite or Super Fuzz clone that these other pedals are , but for 30 bucks off Amazon it’s pretty much spot on….! It does the thing you’re looking for and more (it has an octave fuzz switch) |

I've seen the Sergio Leone trilogy, and since my depth of spaghetti westerns is limited, I associate the music with that clean, trebly, close to the bridge guitar tone, i.e. as in the main theme for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Those recurring five notes in that tune are bone chilling. That said, I look forward to seeing Once Upon A Time In The West, which is on my watchlist. —-John "...enjoy every sandwich." -Warren Zevon Fender Stratocaster American Pro II |

Oh man. Great movie (Once Upon A Time...). Killer score. I had a cassette of the score years before I had an opportunity to see the film. I had the music memorized before I saw the movie. Was a trip, really, and had a couple of spoilers as a result! Last edited: Dec 02, 2022 13:12:27 |
