I think a video about the type of modulation pedals used in doom would be pretty cool.

[@singularity360]

You can literally use any modulation type pedals. Delay, reverb, tremolo, vibe, chorus, flange etc etc. Buy some used pedals and experiment.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

I think a video about this would be awesome! Maybe drop some comments of pedals that would be cool to see in a video 🙏

[@marshallkesling8019]

I would want to see chorus and univibe (cause those are the ones I have for other types of music).

[@PearlJamaholic]

Info is hard to come by on this it seems. When I try to find stoner/doom bands on equipboard, and their gear, the distortion/fuzz effects are always there. But I know there is phaser/flanger on these albums but nothing is listed on the guitarists page. I've always wondered if everyone is using an MXR Phaser 90 (or some variation) or if its all different types of phasers. There has to be some common modulation pedals in the genre the way the Big Muff is a staple.

[@obgog4687]

@@PearlJamaholic you can't go wrong with an mxr phaser, they are classics for a reason. Personally a fan of the phase 95 bc you can get alot of different sounds out of it

[@levkamenev3904]

I love the artwork and look of your Fuzzlord pedals in general sir. Fine job!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thank you! 🙏

[@gooseabuse]

I think a video discussing vocal effects would interesting. Doom often has some seriously effected vocals all the way back to Ozzy, but its not talked much about.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

That would make a great video! Any pedals/effects you think would work well for that video?

[@captainkirk70]

@@FuzzlordEffects I know he used a Harmonizer always during his solo years. Especially live. It was whatever the most expensive one was. Maybe Eventide? Can't remember the name now but it was super important even back then. He wouldn't have sounded good live. It was like a member of the band Lol.

[@gooseabuse]

@@FuzzlordEffects Well doublers and time based effects are really common, Mike Scheidt was talking about that when you interviewed him. Ozzy used a Leslie on planet caravan and I think various kinds of modulation are commonly used in Doom. Jus Oborn distorted his vocals with a guitar amp for Dopethrone and I know that JHS colorbox is a popular in other genres for adding distortion to vox.

[@MrLambo0905]

very nice ! you can clearly hear the difference between each pedal and the different characters of each one

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thanks for watching!

[@ABoyd1852]

I have the M4. Its a killer pedal. I like to put an EQ and OD in front of it, and push it into "fuzzstortion" territory. Mid knob really opens up the possibilities with it. Its awesome feat of engineering.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thank you so much for grabbing one and happy to hear you like it!! 🙏🎛️

[@meeker514]

The DOD 250 is criminally underrated. Put it into a slightly dirty amp with hot pickups and it becomes a sledgehammer that still has upper midrange bite. Compliments my Sunn Concert Lead perfectly.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Hell yeah!

[@Calvin-xu5pw]

If you like Big Muffs, try the EQD Hoof. The tone shaping options are amazing. I built a clone of it and it has never left my board. Works great on bass too.

[@littledittymusic727]

EQD Hoof is pretty expensive, but I'd love to try it!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Great pedal!

[@nicholasrella6904]

My fav muff is the Black Arts Pharaoh. Extreme versatile. I don't know why it's so overlooked. I hardly ever hear it mentioned.

[@KymriDaniels]

Great video as always Jason! I used a RAT (& a Spectral Realm, what a fantastic pedal!) on my first album. Nice to hear from such versatile pedals and the bands that used them; I definitely recommend checking out the other videos on the Fuzzlord Effects channel!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thank you!!! If you’d like to drop a link so folks can hear your music! 🙏

[@KymriDaniels]

@@FuzzlordEffects No probs! I will include a link as suggested (although I call it 'noise' not music!) Your pedals are fantastic and should be known by many more in the music community. Anyways, here's a link to my 'noise', this one being the first track proper from my upcoming debut album with more coming soon! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJTRfp6Mrr19idE (enjoy the terribleness of my sounds!)

[@jpbguitar6470]

I've never managed to 100% get a sound I love out of fuzzes but they're a lot of fun, I'm prefer a fuzzy distortion like an Orange amp, RAT or Sunn emulation pedal

[@FuzzlordEffects]

They can be a bit tricky to get a tone that doesn’t get lost in the mix and distortion is a bit more user friendly for sure 🎛️⛓️🔈

[@MrCarsandguitars]

That fu2 sounds fantastic

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thank you!

[@gojero732]

I borrowed a Blues Driver from my guitar teacher and it sounded very warm. I found out that it got more balls pushed with a treble booster in front. I was very happy with the sound in comparison with my Carcosa fuzz, more warmth and balanced. The BD2 is on my wishlist. Anyone have tried this too?

[@MattR82]

Jason, your tone with the FU-2 is 🔥🔥🔥 I would've loved to got that with my FU-2 when I had it (traded it for the Sunn life pedal)

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thank you!!!

[@mistershabadoo]

My Dronemaster is always on my board. It’s by far one of the best, most useable distortions I’ve ever owned. 💪🤘

[@FuzzlordEffects]

So happy to hear that and thank you for grabbing one!

[@mophead1666]

Rat is my favorite. It's the only drive pedal I feel does a great job at being a boost, light overdrive, distortion, AND a fuzz. Amazing pedal. Also sounds amazing being hit with a tubescreamer or Sd-1.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Such a good pedal!

[@BabylonSun]

Dang man that MF-4 sounds like a beast

[@ryderreynolds3005]

Primus- Larry used a big muff for his really distorted sounds on pork soda.

[@joshferguson9703]

I have a one man band named OGRE ORGY and I use my rat as a boost to push my other dirt pedals mainly the Danelectro FAB TONE imo the rat is the most versatile boost ever created

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Another vote for the Rat being a badass boost! 🙏

[@groverjuicy]

"Fee fi for fum..."

[@CryptToneMusic]

The Dronemaster is my favorite pedal I currently own since it's super versatile and I love using it as a boost for a high gain amp or just going full Windhand with it and diming the gain and volume and setting the tone completely dark. I feel bad I don't use it as much as I'd like since doom isn't the main genre I play and it doesn't get as tight as I need for my more thrashy sludge riffs but I still love it and I'll never sell it haha

[@FuzzlordEffects]

I’m so happy to hear you like it!! And thank you for grabbing one 🙏

[@heckatron2586]

I’d love to see a video about modulation that works well in doom, beyond slapping a phaser in the mix, anyway.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Great idea for a video! Any pedals you’d like to see show up in the video?

[@captainkirk70]

@@FuzzlordEffects The MXR Phase 95 is amazing. You get 4 pedals in one for like $100. Both the 90 and the 45 then the script and block letter options. And it sounds great.

[@markvigil8667]

great presentation 👍i never knew that fuzz pedals were so important to this style of music, as i myself grew up on the 80s ibanez tube screamer pedal plugged into a marshall jcm 800 half stack sound, which was pretty much the standard sound of 80s metal. Another good pedal that might work good for doom metal is the boss hm2, which has a much scooped overblown gain tone that the metal zone pedal doesn't have. rare to find hm 2s, but theyre still around. Would be great to know also what the top high gain amps for doom metal are, as Marshalls are becoming old news, cuz there are so many different amp names nowadays. Thank You

[@dmitch1983]

I like running my HM-3 into an MF-4 as a clean low boost. So massive.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

🔥

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Rats are the best! And for anyone interested ever since I demoed the drone master ans its been one of my favorite takes on it. If you're considering buying one. Go for it

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thank you and that was a great demo you did! 🔈⛓️

[@johnnyblitzkrieg8985]

A Muff for sure, sometimes I prefer the big-ass-box NY one, but usually Sovtek Deluxe or EQD Hizumitas (and a Bass Muff for bass). All of those Muffs tend to sound best boosted by a distortion pedal, Turbo Rat and Boss HM-2w being my favs. Also, I have couple of those Boss FZ-2 clones, inc. the Behringer one. I found Behringer's "secret" mode the best, but actually got other one for the solos, set in The Secret Mode II: between fuzz 2 and the boost. Other pedals for my doom, sludge, stoner, desert, drone -shit: Acapulco Gold (should be one of the first pedals on the board, since it reacts best the guitars knobs), Ghost Echo reverb before most of the dirt section, Black Arts Revelation SuperBass for cranking the amp deeper than hell, Black Country Customs (Laney) Tony Iommi Boost for... guess what? EHX Freeze for the endless drones. You may lol for my MXR Tom Morello Power 50 od after Acapulco and Orange Kongpressor, but It's fx-loop it actually fuckin' great for boosting my Geezer Butler Crybaby, Qtron, Ghost Echo and EVH Phase. Boss eq GE-7 is more than handy, and OC-5 octaver is a must. In the fx-loop of the amp I usually only use Zvex Lofi Junky and/or Fender Pinwheel rotary while dooming around.

[@ISVIK2000]

Love me some The Blue from Acid Bath !!!!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

🖤

[@nvjohansson9741]

The 5th would be the Boss Hyper Fuzz, cloned really well by Behringer with the SF-300.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Great pedals ✌️

[@Dr.Smartbrain]

I am in a band and use the SunnO))) Life pedal. Rat/Octave/Boost.

[@marshallkesling8019]

I really want that Electric Wizard FU-2! If anyone has an FU-2, do you put it before or after overdrive or does it not stack and you use it on its own?

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Most folks put it after their overdrive/boost pedals 🎛️ I’ll have to do a video soon checking that out 🙏

[@ogsstu]

I like it into a dirty amp, the same way as I use a fuzz face.

Great video Jason, your passion and contribution to the doom metal scene and sound deserves much respect. I'm interested in buying your MF-4 pedal and have seen this big muff (NYC) mod by Occvlt pedals (link below). Is your MF-4able to nail this tone? - It's EXACTLY the Big Muff tone I'm after kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGGVkoWKiZaMgrc
