@@musicplaylists59 ProCo RAT or Boss Hyperfuzz or some of their many variants (for example EQD Life Pedal, Unsound Circuitry Hyper Pozzum V2, Abominable Electronics Demon Lung, Behringer SF300 if you don't have a lot of money etc). If you want a Big Muff type of fuzz i'd rather go with EQD Hizumitas than the Fuzz War, or some version of the Green Russian Muff. Colorsound One Knob Fuzz is also great and has many variants as well such as DAM Meat Head, Frost Giant Electronics Massif etc. Personally i'd take a RAT since i'm a huge Sunn O))) fan.

Well i'm old (really) ... so having a different perspective: - i love seeing the younger guys and gals taking some old faithful sounds to a new level whilst still retaining the urge and power which fascinated me hearing old Sabbath and stuff ... - getting an axe an amp and a fuzz to make brutal sounds got me into making music in the early days - great to see FUZZ is coming back and revived Thanks a lot for putting up this fun test

[@equaleyez]

There are so many little boutique amp builders by now, most of them started with basic overdrive/fuzz circuitry

[@recycology5468]

I'm 70, grew up in the SFV, CA. I still play and listen to tons of music from various genres. With all due respect to your post, I don't think Fuzz pedals never left. Yeah I play guitar, bass etc, but using Fuzz on synths is unworldy. Meaning fuzz isn't just for string electrics. Thats why I say it never went away.

[@matzer8846]

@@recycology5468 Thanks a lot for your answer/post ... You got me. I wasn't into synths until ~2015. They were just too expensive 4me in the old days (i'm 68 now) and i never go me hands on one and none of the band i met had a Fuzz combined with a synth -> my "blind spot" Anyway ... now i got some good synth plugins and a couple of entry level hardware synths and i love to use my guitar FX with them ... thus i am catching up

The Carcosa was (unsurprisingly) the best sounding for me. Then when you consider the variety of other tones it can get, and the price point - one of the best to ever do it.

Honestly this video proves that Behringer didn't manufacture the Super Fuzz. They summoned it directly from the deepest, darkest pits of Tartarus using the blood of every great Doom players of the universe, and then for good measure they had Cthulhu unload a huge nut into it to make sure it was the most disgusting pedal in all of doom lol

[@LeviBulger]

@@EricFaries That's just patently false. There are tons of original circuits out there. Behringer doesn't make a single one that isn't a clone/ripoff. The Fz1 is technically an original circuit as it incorporated a buffer and used a different tonestack than the ShinEi it's baased off of. But it's definitely not a straight up ripoff. It would be more like a modified Shin Ei.

[@FiveseveNp90]

@@LeviBulger So BOSS's clone is "based off of" but Behringer's is a "rip off"? Nice consistency. And no, adding the necessary buffers for electronic bypass and a treble and bass control does not make it original.

This is just wonderful. The most enjoyable video I've watched for a long time. I'm sure many gear snobs have spontaneously combusted watching this.

[@xneurianx]

In defence of his very expensive pedal, there is a difference between just the pedal in the room and the pedal after you've tweaked the amp around a bit and then played it in a band with other musicians. The Behringer sounds great on it's own and is a clone of the pedal that Electric Wizard uses so probably sounds great in a band setup too, but if Oz is loving his fuzz war then great. He might buy the Tone City and the Behringer and take them to practice and find they just don't work as well. There's always trial and error in these things.

[@asharpbflat7179]

The thing is: Fuzz doom shoot-out is a game that can be played for 24 hours straight, with all those pedals in an endless cycle and the "current winner" pedal will keep changing until the end as the ear just loves the change up (after hearing one sonic spectrum of frequencies and clipping for a certain amount of time). You will however know very quickly which sounds in general you like more than others. But the "keep or move on" principle will never let you settle for one pedal for more than one hour. If you're so satisfied with one sound that you don't want the sound to change at all after like 2 hours then a) you're very good in listening for nuanced high frequencies and patient while dialing them, in the first place and b) you found a pedal that probably does it for you. Although some sort of shoegaze high might kick in and you're just fixated to a sound in the moment because you like what you're just playing, while on another day you wouldn't at all prefer that pedal over others. (So maybe it's better to not be into it too much while testing.)

On the Deville I've always had the yellow gain around 6/7, Bass: 10, Mids: 6, Treble: 12, Reverb: 5, Presence: 12 The Duchess was very similar, but with more pre-amp volume to battle the super-duper clean tone and give it some balls.

the HM2 is also a really really good doom pedal but it's a very, very unique sound and requires the knobs pointed in a way that doesn't involve all of them being dimed. it tends to work better for heavier sounds, but... keep the high knob backed off behind the 12:00 mark and boost the lows to taste. blend it with your amp gain. have fun.
