Why Can't You Plug a Wah Into Fuzz Face?

Fuzz Face into wah.
Wah into Fuzz Face.

Awesome demo/explanation. 🙌 Not gonna lie though. I kind of love that’s crazy oscillation with the out of control impedance *voodoo. 😅

I absolutely can find a use for that. 🎆

Get a Fuzz Probe. You can do that with the plate

Actually- MXR fixed this issue- check out the MXR M296 Classic BC108 Fuzz- it has a buffer built into the pedal- turn it on and you can put it anywhere in your chain, you can plug it into a wah, or a wah into it- and it works fine. Also thickens up the tone a bit- imo it's the best sounding fuzz face since the original- and it's by far the least finicky. And- you can nab one for about 90 bucks used- not expensive or hard to find at all. I spent a little time in Nashville- I live pretty close by- and it was probably the most common fuzz face I saw on professional boards. That was a few years ago- they've probably moved on to something newer by now but- it was the shiz-nit at one point.

I believe this is a simplified version of las historias' tone lol

[@troyrose1910]

Great now you can play the theme song to Startrak the TV show..like Thurmond lol

[@MicroMysticMusic]

Great examples and explanations. Great fuzz tones as well! Even the "clean" tone before you hit the pedals sounded great... speaking of which, what amp are you using here?

[@noisejunk]

I used an Iridium (I filled this at midnight lol) on the Vox setting w Celestion Greenback IR. I set the iridium up to sound as close to my actual Vox AC15 w Greenback 12" as possible. (When I track w the actual amp I use a large diaphragm condenser mic with just a little SM57 blended in.)

[@MicroMysticMusic]

@@noisejunk Very cool, thank you for the detailed response! Never would have guessed it wasn't an actual amp or that you recorded it late at night. Looks like I'm going to have to start looking into an Iridium 'cause that's the sound I want to hear when I play fuzz. Thank you again for taking the time to share. Rock on!

A buffered wah circuit and you Can go with any kind of fuzz.

[@Hereweare75]

Wow! What a major difference. Videos like this are appreciated. I have both of these Fuzz pedals.

[@lets_rock_it]

why cant you plug a wah with a fuzz face?say that to Hendrix Lol. It worked quite well for 1 off the best off all time. Everything matters and afects your tone and also everything can add noise even the electric instalation can add noise so i dont get the point of this video.Beside the pedal order is something everyone should try for instance the fuzz face after and before the wah. So i dont get the porpuse of this video cause each rig of us will have a dif.tone and some will have noises while others wont.

NOISE JUNK, listen to a lot of hendrix studio albums, demos because his "clean up tone" isn't the same as SRV glassy clean up tone by rolling back the strat volume pot. Hendrix clean up tone is called the Bell tone. Try to make a video on how to get that hendrix clean up bell tone

[@QerstyBass]

arent most crybabies buffered though? i think the newer v847s too (sadly)

[@noisejunk]

I defer to others who know more than I, but I believe all wahs have a basic buffer, regardless of vintage. If you look up wah schematics the output stage shows Q2 connected to V+ with a resistor to ground, which is a buffer (I could be wrong). The Fuzz Face, however, does not have this output stage. Hence wahs do not play nice before a standard fuzz face.

Fantastic vid!
