Are you a fuzz fiend? If you’re looking to dial in the perfect tone for your next doom-laden riff or psychedelic excursion, then you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we’re diving headfirst into the world of guitar fuzz pedals, thanks to the incredible work of Noise Generator.
71 Fuzz Pedals – The Experiment
Noise Generator has meticulously tested 71 different fuzz pedals, all through the same rig:
- Guitar: Parts Jazzmaster (Curtis Novak Wide Range Humbuckers)
- Amp: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
This consistent setup allows for a direct comparison of each pedal’s unique character and sonic capabilities.
Noise Generator has this to say;
“This video is not intended to be a scientific or comprehensive comparison. This is simply a video of 1 riff played through 71 different fuzz pedals with the same guitar and amp settings. If you’d like to hear more of any pedal, I most likely have a full demo on my channel, as do some of my friends who also make demos here on YouTube.
Thanks for watching!”
