What is the Ultimate Pedal for Doom Metal? | Winner Stays On: Fuzz Pedals!

[@musicplaylists59]

@@paleemperor5379 What would be the pedal you chose for doom out of interest?

[@paleemperor5379]

@@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.

[@matzer8846]

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

[@peterdinya1309]

I did not expect to hear Slomatics riffs on Andertons, but I was guessing that might happen when Oz started going lower and lower. Made me super happy, always stoked to see Oz come on and doom around!

Kinda proves there’s a lot of “magic beans snake oil” in the boutique pedal market when it comes to doom. Just find your favourite big muff variant with graphics that you like.

[@joeydanielski962]

I was just telling someone today that I thought the whole boutique explosion that's happened in the past decade or so mostly comes down to what the box looks like and what colour it's been painted...

[@centraal22]

No, no, not true. There are many boutique pedal manufacturers that annihilate major companies. Frost Giant Electronics as an example produces the Massif Fuzz that burns any EH, WH, Boss, or JHS fuzz pedal.

[@LucasR-xl4sl]

Yes! more of this please!

[@madslagsallupinthisgaff]

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.

[@benjaminthomasholton963]

Yes! Glad someone mentioned this! 😊

[@jeffhoyle5785]

I rehouse these into metal cases and it's simple to do a quick mod to give you the option of both rather than trying to jimmy the switch between the two.

[@kevinclarke9406]

Cool! Was thinking of doing this and swapping out the switch for a 2 way blend pot​ for fuzz 1 & 2 @jeffhoyle5785

[@jamesxlennon]

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.

[@Chris.Apache]

I own a Rams head and I liked its sound most. Glad its won a few rounds. Great video!

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 The word you're looking for is Clone, not ripped off. Almost every pedal company clones other pedals. Hell, feckin Boss doesn't even MAKE the fuzz it's based on anymore 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.
