There are many good pedals out there, and many of them are sweet fuzzy fuzz pedals. Which is the best one? Well, let's name a few! I'll include links to the manufacturer page, if I find one.
I love the sound of a good fuzz. I am currently using the Das Fuzz GE, and I use it with a distortion pedal or with the Bad Monkey. It gets noisy, but the tone is very sweet. I am also very interested in getting a Fuzz Factory, just because it sounds so crazy! It's like the ultimate fuzz pedal, since it can produce so many different sounds. It can be made to sound more "normal" too.
There's so many more out there, I know! Post your fuzz pedal comments if you think I missed any top notch fuzz pedals!

Those old Eminars didn't have much class. They really only amplified your playing (So you need to be real good). Compared to a Fender twin or the like, you would never go back to the poor old Emi. However, if you can get an Ibanez tube screamer (even a re-issue) you may get some class back.
Comment added on March 27, 2008Hi Tim, not sure what you are looking for. The Digitech Bad Monkey can give you a nice, gritty blues tone. If you want a clean, big tone with not much grit, you can get a clean boost pedal like the 19 Sixty 3 or the MXR Micro Amp.
The Boss Blues Driver is a good choice too, since it doesn't color the tone much, but can push a tube amp into a bluesy place.
Hi Robert. I have been using your site for a long time now so i thought you might answer a question of mine. Having recently bought a mex strat im now looking for the right sound for it. I have a big 160 watt eminar valve amp but it is strictly clean. It has treble, middle and bass. Thats it.Can i use this amp with some pedals to get a nice bluesy strat sound. I have an overdrive pedal and a reverb pedal but i need something else. What do you think? You have been through a few effects. Strat through a clean amp. Love to see your comment or ideas on this.
Thanks mate.
