Fuzz is intended to recreate the classic 1960’s tone of an overdriven tube amp combined with torn speaker cones. Old school guitar players (like Link Wray) would use a screwdriver to poke several holes through the paperboard part of the guitar amp speaker to achieve a similar sound. Some fuzz box pedals include:
- Z.Vex Fuzz Factory
- Effector 13 Soda Meiser
- Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face
- Electro-Harmonix Big Muff
- Boss FZ-5 Fuzz
Famous songs using the fuzz effect:
- “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones
- “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix
