Big Muff Fuzz getting risky A,D! That’s a lot of Fuzz producers, I’ll always trust the Rev. Billy Gibbons version though! Camel Toe Fuzz, must be portable for desert regions is my guess! Another interesting video, uniquely played by Holland’s very own king of Fuzz ha! Another great adventure, thanks!

Thanks Cause the Blue Rat, i know its been around for ages, and many grow up in all kinds of styles but the distortion(as i Know it, )is derived from the sound of a cranked up tube amp, this sound in electronic form did start a live of its own! and is known by many names as the video shows! there is some stuff on Wickapedia and audio files aswell, maybee by today's standarts its fun to build your own ! greeeeettssszz A.D

The fuzz box actually came out in the 50's. The idea was to make a guitar sound "exactly" like a saxophone. Unfortunately I no longer have the link to the article and sound files. Never really sounded like a sax. But there was no truth in advertisement laws in the 50's. Proof that people can take a failure and turn it into something beautiful.
