Re: anyone ever tried the Boss FZ-3 for "surfy Fuzz"?

Jeff (bigtikidude) - 14 Jan 2006 15:16:44

I'm not a Guitar player so take this with a grain of Salt.
I think that sometimes the vintage fuzz pedals as cool as they are,
can be a bit to harsh sounding (like Buzz Saw) for being used in
surf. So if the newer pedal you got doesn't have quite the same bite.
Keep that in mind, and it might be the perfect thing.
Also depends on your bands sound.
if your a gargey/Hot Rot/Davie Allen type of instro band, it'd not
cut it.
But if your a middle of the road, surf band that needs a bit of edge
now and then, a mild fuzz could work out great.
all depends on pespective, and what sound your going for.
