Paul Gilbert liked the Rusty Fuzz when he did the TC Electronic pedalboard build.
Thats because it was a TC electronics board so of course, he would choose a TC Fuzz pedal.
@@BkBk-gy6vr You speculate, of course. Jez the internet...
Never had a fuzz pedal before. This video made me get the TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz. It is ridiculously good!! And so cheap!! 10/10. Mind you, nothing feels cheap about this. The construction is solid and housed in an all-metal case. The tone is fantastic too!!
Happy you liked the video and have fun with the Rusty Fuzz! Cheers! //Kris
Have tc echobrain analog bucket brigade true bypass delay it's a tank and sounds so good, got it used like new still in box for $35 U.S.
The Ram's Head is one of my favorite pedals ever. David Gilmore in a box plus so much more. It will sustain till the end of time.
Thank you Guillaume. Excellent !
I’ve got a rams head, band of gypsys and giygas. I just ordered the general cause I wanted a small, affordable germanium fuzz. Can’t wait to try it out. Great video!
Hey Guy, this demo is very excellent . In My opinion the first place the Big Muff, the second is the curcosa, but all of them have killer fuzz tones! Thanks for shear this video:)
Great Demo & Info. Thankz
Carcosa voiced perfect for a band mix.
Great demo (and great amp...)
Just above the 100, i’d like to crank the Teisco Fuzz..
My favourites here: Carcosa and BM Ram’s head.
Little did Leo know that his space age, yet slapped together genius combo was actually invented FOR FUZZ.
Nice demo and some tasty licks! 😎👍
Thanks! 😃 // Guillaume
Excellent job there "G". I think the DOD Carcosa having the brighter sound is my favorite. All of them were good except The General. To my ears it was too dark and muddy.
Got the Carcosa, full of praise. Very flexible. From warm and light bottom end crunch to pure apocalyptic spitting noise, it has it all. The Yellow King!
I have it. It's sweet. Next one will be Rusty from TC Electronic.
Excellent video
The Carcosa is my all time favorite pedal.. It will bring forth the King in Yellow in you... True madness. Preferably with a Les Paul.
Dude, wasn't expecting for you to play Cliffs of Dover, cool one! Nice pedals as well, I really liked the Fender for its versatility!
I’ve got the fender pelt and mannn it’s the only fuzz a man would ever need
Personally I like the fuzzhybridpedals as well, like the Rat and the Amber Overdrive.
Nice little Lenny riff 🤘
The Carcosa is a very versatile choice. The switch in the middle btw is used to trim it for use with clean or dirty amps. And keep in mind that the Hi cut Pot is working counter clockwise. The second example made the pedal look far worse than it is. You gotta get a little into the interaction of the dials, or you get questionable sounds like this, sure.
You're absolutely right. The Carcosa is my personal favourite of the bunch tbh but as I said I just didn't have the time to go in depth on all of them so I had to cut out most of the points that showed the versatility of that pedal. // Guillaume
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses I've got mine for almost a year, still not finished exploring. Appreciate you showed some love for it. 👍
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses @CGCEifel it does seem like almost endless possibilities of fuzz due to the combinations of each setting revealing such versatile ranges of tones and sonic properties.
Would you recommend the carcosa for a 'blues metal/stoner metal' slowish but HEAVY blues that needs smoothness to the fuzz but a heavy heavy fuzz at the same time that you can add little licks between big power chords for example? Thought I'd ask as you have a lot of time with the pedal. Thanks in advance :)
@@NigelOdinson I guess i know what you are shooting for. For that kind of stuff it is absolutely capable. I like to combine it with a cheap TC Mini Spark Boost, that has a momentary switch (?!) for leadlines to get the extra bit of oomph. Not that it is neccessary at all. I recently changed my SG to a C# tuning and tried it again with the carcosa. Oh boy, Stoner Heaven 😁
@@CGCEifel ohhh yeah that sounds ideal for some sweet stoner glory! Thanks for the reply, helps me make the decision to buy one which I could use different OD pedals with for some extra grit or tightness if needed like a booster too.
I like using drop D and standard tunings when I write usually but have been playing with d standard and drop C... gon a try C# when my new shergold provocateur sp02-sd arrives as it will be the perfect guitar to do that and especially to pair with the carcosa!! Like a HH les Paul shape crossed with a tele cut off bridge and through body strung, but gibson scale length and 59' SDs, mahogany body and roasted mahogany bolt on neck for a very boutique feel and perfect stoner rock guitar. Designed by Mr Eggle. In dirty blonde which is a beaut of a guitar imo. Best LP type copy there is as it has some very differentiating things about it that aren't gibson synonymous but more fender like.
I enjoyed all of them for diff reasons but fuzz rulz!
Got the DOD Carcosa on my board for over a year now and i'm basically done with buying Fuzzes.
I was never really a Fuzz guy but when i want some Fuzz the Carcosa can deliver, from smooth low-gain fuzz to nasty gated insanity
Some phat sounds here! I'd say the General and Big Muff for their phatness.
Hi Guillaume I hope you had an amazing Christmas time even if you do not celebrate it! I have a big doubt about big muffs, I want to try one and I am between Ram's head and OpAmp models but I actually want the one that last longer on a sustained note, whi h of these two will be your choice if you want to achieve the longest sustained note? Ad always your videos are the best to decide on cool gear!
Please also do a video like this for higher priced fuzzes
What about the SF300? How does it compare to these candidates?
When yall going to do pedals and boards for Bass?
You can use them on bass too
No Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz???
Where can I get that DBA meter?
Which pedal are you playing at the first 15 seconds??
All fuzz but be before wah pedal on board ?
Nice video!
what song were you playing during the outlaw fuzz starting at 1:46 in the video. I have that guitar riff in my head and I cant figure it out!?!?!?!?!? Please Help!

Can’t find the pelt on the your shop.
You look a lot like Yannis from Foals, who is a big user of Fuzz pedals.
Carcosa is an awesome FUZZ! If you aren’t into experimenting, or don’t understand how the controls effect the sound...maybe not a first Fuzz fore-a for the Fuzz curious?
Rusty Fuzz doesn’t have great definition? Can get swallowed up in a band context? Muff is a Muff, but again context? Muff’s have never really been my thing? They don’t work for me, unless you are putting them in a chain of effects?
Pelt is interesting...would like to try it. Didn’t realize that it was under $100?
If Carcosa then Output on MAX!!!
Incidently The Pelt is priced € 101 for me, but... Oh well. Close enough.
@8:07 LOL
I built the hizumitas fuzz for about $20
The only answer is the Keeley Fuzz Bender.
Got mine for $99 USD.
Really need to also demo a guitar with humbuckers.
Good point Kuan! Will do it next time :) // Guillaume
beez geez
Behringer Super Fuzz SF-300 is $29.00 and it’s one of the best fuzz pedals available.
Chuckle....
Only if you like an Octive Fuzz. I bought it and hate it 😂 My choice is the Boss FZ5.
Guillaume, es-tu du Quebec ? ca sonne quebecois a mes oreilles (malgré les fuzz...).
Which of these pedals is analog?
Probably all of them... Fuzz circuits tend to be fairly simple designs anyway. Most of the expensive ones are due to the rarity of components like certain transistors rather than being 'analog'.
@@NFMorley thank you for the information, i am new at effect pedals and i am trying to understand them
All of them are. Actually, good Digital effects are far more expensive and deliver great quality nowadays
@@andreasbravos7943 Usually Distortion/Overdrive/Fuzz pedals are all analog (except the ones who have several different modes like Boss OD-200, Alexander Pedals Defender or JHS Bonsai)
@@zwidawurzn9423 JHS Bonsai overdrive circut is analog. Only the routing is digital.
Stuck between ram's head and the pelt. Don't know which one to choose....
Did you choose one by now? I'm thinking about getting the rams head
@@mrlaserboy yes, I got ram's head!! It is very good for both lead and rythm!!
Only "problem" with fuzz -in general - is the electromagnetic interference with my single coil Tele.
In this case you need to use noise gate. No interference with my humbucker Tele!
@@artemisg.8057 Cool thanks for the info.
@@mrlaserboy 🙂
I think you underplayed the capability of Carcosa here. That pedal have like milion sounds of it and some are good thru super clean amp also. Otherwise good video.
ps: it is always very questionable, what good fuzz sound is. As it is very much sound of broken equipment hahaha :D
French or English ??
song at 1:48 please
Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Foxy lady good choice
No offense but it seems Andy is the fuzziest presenter??? But I doubt he could pull off the cliffs as well 🤘🏽
All on SLAYER 🤘🏽
If I can’t afford a fuzz could I just use a cab with blown driver?? 😂
Tbh a fuzz alone shouldn’t go over 100
Here's a rig worth more than your car. Now let's hear some affordable pedals.
dollars or euros? Thoman is in Europe so surely it should be euros.
Welp, the Carcosa is sitting at $125 now :(
If you're not sure if you can play Something efficiently just play something that it is suitable for you
Carcosa really?! Lmao too bright. Rusty for clarity!
Why is it that noone seems to understand that to truly find out which pedal is best for you & which sound you like best, then you need to play the same exact notes the same exact way as much as possible to have a real true comparison. Yes it will be horribly boring but it will give you the real answers that we are looking for. Wake up America?!?!?!?
1. He repeats the same riff for all 5 different pedals at the end of the video.
2. How is that Americas fault?
Budget Fuzz pedals ....... EXPENSIVE AMP + CAB. Yeah. The amp+cab is around $2000. I highly doubt someone who spends that much on an amp+cab is going to be looking for budget pedals. That would be like buying an expensive sports car and putting the cheapest gas + oil in it.
Yeaah, but no ... this amp specifiacly is very good at showing, what a pedal as really capable off. With budget amps, it might be hit or miss if it will work with any fuzz.
Also I dont like that car/oil analogy, with proper amp, you might be surprised how good lot of cheap stuff is. It is not always, like you ruin the sound of your amp with cheap pedal in front (unless you buy MXR Fullbore Metal, then it dont make difference what amp you have, haha) :D
When a pedal sounds shitty through a good amp and guitar, you know it is a shitty pedal. When you have a cheap guitar and/or a cheap amp, then either the amp or the guitar can make the pedal sound shitty and you don‘t know which one it is.
That‘s how i see it!
@@erlannderrantem6972 precisely- you wouldn't know whoch part of the chain was making it sound shitty. Atleast here the only possible shitty element that could arise is the variable, which is a budget peddle. Atleast you can hear what each pedal is capable of without thinking the amp or guitar is taking away from the sound that the pedal manufacturers painstakingly trialled to obtain in some cases.
C'est quoi cette mode des strat rose ?!?! On en voit partout depuis qq temps... Bon Dieu, c'est laid et ça fait fillette !!! Foutez-moi ça à la benne et prenez de vrais grattes d'hommes !!!
Talking too much. Just demo them ffs.
Fuzz off
david gilmore dont play no pink guitar
