>Is Dunlop Fuzzfase sutable for surf sound like Davie Allan?
The Fuzzface doesn't seem to get that crunchy biker fuzz sound. The Fuzzface
has a "smooth" fuzz similar to the fuzz tones of Cream, Hendrix, Page if you
like that kind of crap. This pedal really only seems to thicken up pickups
instead of making them crunch. I have one but I never use it. It's too
clean. Whoever it was that said they were looking for SRV/ZZ Top kind of
tone (Robb?), this is your pedal. It's a warm fuzz but not mean enough for
garage/biker stuff. It can get noisy (not in good way mind you) because of
the amount of gain but that's easily controlled with your guitar volume.
Another good pedal to look at if you want a good whacked out over the top
fuzz is the Lex Fuzzwrong. It's a little cutesy (covered in faux fur) but it
roars and it's cheap as well. It's also built like a tank. It's another
knockoff of the Mosrite Fuzzrite and it sounds ACE!! Alex will also tweak it
if you don't like the sounds (no need- it sounds BOSS!). Email Alex at and ask about his pricing, etc. I think you'll be very
pleasantly surprised. I also think it's better to support these guys rather
than these big corporations. These guys build 'em because they love the
sound and not because they're concerned for the bottom line. The Fuzzwong
and the Verbafuzz sound WICKED with my '62 brownface Super!
