- People sometimes ask what my favorite pedal of all time is, which is impossible to say. So instead Im going to narrow it down to my favorite categories of pedals starting with Fuzz, these are some of my favorite fuzz pedals of all time. These are the pedals I reach for first when going for a fuzz tone on a gig or a session, and I couldn't do without them.

"talking about fuzz for an hour and a half wouldn't work for TH-cam"
That Pedal Show entered the chat.
They can do an hour on just one boost pedal. Some say crazy..I say that's entertainment.
@@mattgilbert7347 damn right. Probably my favorite two guitar nerds on TH-cam.
If you look at Leonardo da Vinci's painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel..god reaches out and touches man's finger. If you look really close that man has a Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz Tone clutched in his other hand. So a few hours talking Fuzz pedals can not be treated lightly :-)
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing Michelangelo. Not Da Vinci.
@@dannycarbona You are talking about the big painting in that one the guy is clenching his fist. I talking about the very small painting in the corner :-)
please feel free to make as many 20-minute videos as you need to go through every fuzz you own! I for one would happily watch an hour and a half of that but I also recognize that I'm insane.
Things on Rhett’s “you can never have too many…” list:
1) Fuzz pedals
2) Novo guitars
3) Any amp that isn’t a Fender black or silver face
Missing out on those sounds
You don’t like Jerry or srv or allman bros?
Fender Blue JR is a good amp for pedals
Black panel Fenders are my favorite, just not what Rhett seems to gravitate towards, hence the way the comment is structured.
@Not In The Box I don’t think he’s ever said anything knocking those amps. But he definitely has a thing for amps with gain. Also a lot of people know what fenders sound like (clean and loud) his channel is more about teaching people about gear than showing you his favorites all the time
Sounding huge as always Rhett! ✌🏻🤘🏻
We need a collab between you two!!
@@maxchristofferson I agree
Thanks man!!
Awesome guitarists !!
Collab coming?
Can’t believe your sola sound bender didn’t make the cut. Literally the best sounding fuzz I’ve heard you play. Ever.
I yearn for the day when we can finally see an end to this slide tone war between Josh and Rhett. Far too many a string hath broken, far too many a glass, shattered.
I hope the war never ends. It makes me laugh - I know it's all just a nerdy joke.
To be serious for a moment, the way Rhett, Josh, Rick Beato, Keith Williams, Dave Onorato and others all lend their expertise to each other to make all of their channels better is an inspiration.
Only the chosen one can bring balance to the world: Derek Trucks.
if this was a promo for that beetronics pedal, well done because im sold
That sounded the best to me too.
That laugh at 5:00 is exactly why everyone should own at least one fuzz. They're raw, crazy and pure joy to play around with.
"All Time Favorite," is for sure a series I'd be interested in watching
So your favorite pedals of all time just came out a few months ago. This sounds like an advertisement
Congrats! You are a natural for this format - glad you are able to support you and your family with this side of the music industry. I don't think many would have imagined 10+ years ago when TH-cam started that so much would shift to it, but you do a great job educating, and entertaining.
Rhett is such a guitarist that he turns the bass down in the mix even when he’s playing the bass 😂 Love your videos dude
I guess it’s testament to my geekdom that the thing I choose to comment on is your fabulous impression of Josh, well done!
Love the summary and demos. Dig the idea of a “favorites” series. And congrats on the house!
And congrats on the new house. It's always a huge landmark when you finally become a homeowner. Best of luck to you both.
20 minutes dedicated to my favorite effect from one of my favorite players? Yes please
The Bliss Factory and Cheese Ball are my two go to fuzz pedals.
I was ready for this to be a mini-series. PLEASE do!!!!! Love from Akron. HOME OF EARTHQUAKER. (best pedals ever)
Hoof Reaper is great, it's my only fuzz and plenty for me. Can get some great overdrive tones with it as well, and pretty much any classic rock fuzz tones.
I love how you make the video so entertaining to watch, good job😁
The mystery blip 18:34: Rhett's reaction cracked me up.
just held the stank face through this whole video, goddam
I didn’t expect to see a comment from you on this video but I’m glad! I’m a fan of yours! 😄
Now, I’d recommend a video from JHS pedals that is called something in the lines of “effects that will destroy your sound”. That is way more “stank face” than this one, for sure hahaha
What amazing sounds and songs. This was one of those videos where it was all about the playing and listening.
My favorite fuzz box is the Maestro FuzzStain. I bought this for $50 in 1978 (my SG Studio was $400 at the same time). It has a Sustain, Soft, and Hard, with a Drive selector wheel (0-10), and a Volume wheel (also 0-10) that acts like a Boost. And it has a bypass. I love the tone on this pedal and have for 43 years.
Congrats to you and your wife on your new home. Hopefully a nicer home than if you were a college or uni lecturer ! You taught us all loads so you well deserve it.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT! PLEASE DONT STOP UPLOADING- ITS HELPING ME DURING MY REHAB
that little ditty at 2:22 is SMOKING.
You always have the coolest guitars! And I love everything I've heard from BeeTronics
Absolutely turn this into a series please!
Love the Favourite thing. Please make that a series!
Intoxicating tones, as usual.. another great upload, Sir Rhett! Congrats on the new home/studio! If I lived locally, I'd offer to help with the move and set up..
Sending peace & love from Missouri -Todd
Ce sont les sons la fuzz!! .... félicitations pour la nouvelle maison, Tilly et Rhett
So glad that I tuned into this video, cuz the slow burns through fuzzies and timies are my JAM, and you nailed that shit so nicely.
LOVE Beetronics!
Have the Swarm and the Royal Jelly.
Vezzpa sounds like a must have. Put me on the list. Sounds phenomenal!
thanks for taking one step back from the camera so it doenst feel creepy when i watch your videos. also your fuzz tone in this videos is amazing
The song he played at about 10 minutes in was FIRE
Hoof Reaper was my favorite there. I should get one.
The Mythos - Golden Fleece and the
Royal Jelly - Beetronics are my two favourite fuzz pedals of all time.
Indeed!!! 🙌
The slide tone meme between you and Josh always makes me giggle. Absolutely classic. Gotta admit that I was a fuzz naysayer when I joined the channel all that time ago. Between you and TPS, I've been converted. I now have an EHX Octavix. Into a Soul Food and then a Maxon FL301 flanger, it's the sound of the gods.
Love my Octavix and Crayon.
@@discobunny4eva759 I've since added a Deluxe Big Muff Pi to the arsenal. Really, really enjoying its flexibility.
Damn that Vespa sounds amazing. I think I NEED that pedal.
me too! really curious to hear more about this new pedal!
Me too !
👍🇺🇲❤TREBLE BOOSTER......can't live without it 🎸........best distortion ever " EHX DOUBLE MUFF " 2nd fave " MXR '74 / '75 Script Logo DISTORTION PLUS "
Killer tones! Fuzz makes you smile, man! The tracks sound inspired! Hell, I’m inspired to explore more fuzz...
I was a drive guy before I know my first fuzz...fuzzes are very expressive!
Love your reaction at 18:33 or so. It's as if you think the pedal is about to leap at you, spitting fuzz like a wounded alley cat.
Congratulations on the new house. Make it a Series!
"My top 5 favorite new houses!", only if he gets like 5M new subscribers, lol.
Great vid and playing Rhett as always. Congrats to you and your wife and the new home !!!
That Fuzz Factory (CBA) was huge!!!!!!!!! Great vid..!
My favorite: Beetronics Octahive. Fantastic octave fuzz. Others I really like: JHS Muffaletta (covers lots of Muff territory), Earthquaker Black Ash, and the recent Spaceman Sputnik III.
Congrats on the move! You probably wont see this or care, I'm a working bassist from NJ, I used to never use any sort of distortion, but after watching your videos over the last year, my ear has come to like and expect it, I use fuzz alot now, I have a Walrus Jupiter, and I have a SunFace on order. Im genuinely surprised not to see a Fuzz Face style circuit on this list. Anyways do make this a series, I'd love to see your top 5s for other effects. And, it has become a dream of mine to play/jam with you. Maybe next NAMM if you have some time?
Great Post! I think I could watch a whole hour of Fuzz! Over drives, echoes...great idea for a Series
Huge congrats on the new home. It’s a great next step, home ownership. The deeper the roots, the sweeter the fruit. And yes, a favorites series would be appreciated and devoured.
Congrats on the new house... and love the video. Any time folks can talk Fuzz pedals it makes for a good video
Yes please Rhett! Make it a series! And about the home and the new studio, YOU DESERVE IT!
I think you need to make a new project based on your slide work, titled: ‘Better than Joshua’ or ‘Cheese Having a Baby’.
haha. I think "Not Josh's Slide" would be a tight band name
@@dkistheshizam
With hits such as: ‘Rhett Plays Josh’s Rig Better’ and ‘Mr. Scott’s Sad Slide.’
The Joshua Cheese
great video on fuzz pedals, would love to see it made into a series! Also would be awesome to see a beginning to end video on setup of the studio in the new house. Congrats on the home!
Nice timing. I’ve been watching this channel for a couple years. But I’ve wakened to fuzz a couple days ago. Been playing for decades, and never had a fuzz!
I really want to be able to make the always-on-ride-the-volume-knob cleanup and I’m looking for the right entryway pedal
I love that his fave fuzz pedal show doesn't include the only one he sold me on - the positron collider.
Moo!
You're half correct on the JHS Cheese Ball, it's a clone of the Lovetone Big Cheese, as in my avatar.
The Lovetone Cheese Source was a 2 in 1 pedal with the Big Cheese fuzz and the Brown Source overdrive pedals in one enclosure.
Congrats on the new home!! Keep going with the favorite pedal theme.
Rhett and Tilly, congratulations on your new house. So stoked for you two. I can't wait to see the next vlog studio you will be building. I will no doubt be epic.
YOUR SO VAIN......I WILL NO DOUBT BE EPIC
For me, my favorites are the Catalinbread Perseus (A better Blue Box), the Voodoo Labs Proctavia, and the Electro Harmonix Microsynth (when you ignore the filter sweeps and triggers, and just stick to the voices, you get an amazing noiseless parallel octave/drive/fuzz)
Congrats on the new house! 🎉🏡 Can’t wait to see the new pad’s home studio 👍
Already watched this and rewatching to leave a comment!
Fairfield Circuitry's Unpleasant Surprise is ridiculously underrated and is my personal favourite.
Congrats on your new home Rhett, we all love you bro !!
I was never much into fuzz until the Red Witch Fuzz God IV. Love that dang pedal and it's made me want to dive deeper into fuzz.
Congrats on the new home!
A series? Yes please. My next 5 favorite fuzz pedals part 1, part 2, part 3 ... All you need is Fuzz, Fuzz is all you need. (TPS tm)
This is why I like this channel. I like learning about gear.
Congrats to you and your wife on the new digs, and yes, more videos like this please....👍🏼
Congrats for your moving and your new house wish you a wonderful time Rhett.
Congrats on the new house, good luck with the move (never fun). Great video, nice idea for a series. That Earthquaker sounds awesome. Spiral makes interesting fuzzes too.
That look you get when the fuzz takes off! Kid in a candy store.
Def like the idea of the top 5 series and would love to see it. Good luck with the move!
I seriously need a Beetronics pedal.
i think i'm needing this Vezzpa!!
I keep trying every fuzz under the sun and always come back to the ThorpyFX Fallout Cloud.
I noticed that lick from the payback, very cool!
A video on your favorite speakers would be absolutely amazing. Also congrats on the house!
Congrats on the new home, thanks for producing great videos.
Yes, please make it a series. Awesome video as usual.
Thank you for taking the time to thank us. We all appreciate the effort you make to create informative, educational, inspirational content for us guitar nuts!
Congrats on the new house. Look forward to the new home studio video-tour.
Some videos of you setting up the new space and what kind of considerations go into that would make for some great and informative content Rhett!
Yup, I like this format. Keep it going. Top 5 Vibes in the future. Congrats on the new home.
Yes that series would be great. You could even do additional fuzz ones to get them all in!!! Add to cart!
Congrats with the new house!!!! Happiness to you and your wife Rhett, you deserve it. Mordehai.
Hellz yeah! Even the camera is jamming out @2:25
Bliss Factory nails the Gary Clark Jr tone. Nice demo. Opened up my ears to new possibilities in the world of fuzz.
Nice choices. Grwat job demoing these. I love Fuzz pedals. Just made one under Might Be Famous and happy we did. Great sound!
Your channel rocks Rhett. Love your fuzz choices. Please make a comparison video of each fuzz strenghts vs the others. It will be a fuzz delight treat. Congrats on your new home enjoy life.
I see what you did there with the "Cissy Strut" lick!! Very cool man, congratulations for the video!
And congrats on the house!
Would definetly like to see more Top 5s.
Congratulations on the new house!
Rhett, this was a great video. Not only because I found the topic interesting, but I really enjoyed your playing on this video. Wow! How about a video like this on analog delays?
Yes- bring on the series!
And congratulations on the new home👍
I can't decide at all which one I want to play first. I'm also glad to finally get to hear the deluxe as well!!
Thanks Rhett, this is a great selection of fuzz pedals. Keep these videos coming.
Really liked the Cissy Strut quote. Great stuff as always.
Fuzz is one of my favourite pedals ever! I don’t have one but it sounds AMAZING!! 🤘🎸
I LOVE that Hoof Reaper! Every time you've played it in a video I'm blown away by how good it sounds.
Been waiting for this one. Fuzz is my go to effect.
There are so many great fuzz units available now compared to when I bought my first Big Muff Pi in the early to mid 70's. One that I've been having tons of fun with lately is Walrus Audio's Kangra Filter Fuzz. Didn't make your list, but man... I'm really blown away by it! Especially flexible and versatile when using an expression pedal with it. Great for filtering other effects and for stacking gain stages. Great video and tones as always... cheers!
Okay Rhett,
that jam for the Caroline Shigeharu Fuzz just had me straight groovin' to the point of harmonically belting out random lyric and syllable Bu11 $h1t!
Woke up my GF!
Hahaha!
Very good stuff my dude.
Within this metaphorically vast TH-cam fog of aggro "metal" content?
Your vids are always like a reassuring lighthouse reminding me of my original Rock roots and influences.
✌🖖
