I have never used a fuzz pedal. Am I missing anything?

I would say no. I have a friend that keeps trying to get me to get one, and I just couldn’t be less interested. If you aren’t interested at this point, don’t go chasing it.

Even if your style doesn't call for one, Fuzz pedals are fun. Plus, the "something different" factor could inspire a new song or two.

You're definitely missing something but it may not be something you like.

Its a different gain experience from distortion or overdrive. I like to use a fuzz on a p-90 guitar into a cleanish Fender amp. It gives my single note lines punch, clarity and sustain that I would not otherwise have.

Fuzz is a loose term since a muff isn’t going to sound like a maestro, but yes, you’re missing something.

Thanks guys. Any recommendations for a mini fuzz pedal? Chinese OK.

Depends what your into


Worth trying at least once in life but there’s many different flavors

i don't really dig fuzz pedal tones, but i do like the band Sasquatch

Yes..... a good Fuzz Face style fuzz can give you everything from compressed cleans in to overdrive in to all out fuzz all from your guitars volume knob...

Dude. Chinese? Mini?

Maybe, you don’t want a fuzz.

I would get something American in a big box.

Are you trying to sound like hendrix? Gilmour? Deftones? Rolling stones? My bloody valentine? Boris?

What do you actually want?
