Just a quick note of appreciation - I went through a huge fuzz phase some years ago, collecting Analogman Sun Faces, Super Fuzzes, and a couple Shin-ei recreations, and recently got the big to play around with some fuzz lately. While there’s not as many options as other drive pedals, I’m finding that with a little tweaking, there’s a ton of great fuzz tones to be had in the Axe III.
I think the mistake I had been making was to run a Fuzz without stacking or messing with advanced parameters - the Fuzz Face is a little meh on its own, but throw a Treble Boost in front, or run an Octave Distortion into it with drive set low, and you can get some really killer fuzz textures. Messing with bias and bit reduction gives you even more range. Plus you can easily run these fuzzes into a cooking amp and get some excellent stacked tones without your ears bleeding. Really impressed.
That said, I don’t ever hear much about fuzz on the forum - anyone else have any positive experiences with the fuzz pedals? I’d love to hear suggestions on other good combos.
