TC Electronic RUSTY FUZZ Silicon-Based Transistor Fuzz with Vintage Gated and Velcro-Like Fuzz Tones

Beast of a pedal. Loads of tones. You can't go wrong with this.

I own a number of TC Electronic stomp Boxes for electric guitar and this one is my favourite. Based on the classic sounds of a silicon fuzz face pedal (for a Jimi Hendrix sound), but for a fraction of the price. Built like a tank. It sounds so good, it'll bring a smile to your face. Go buy one, you won't regret it!

Its great for the price. Bit noisy even with an isolated power supply but what do you expect?! Don't use it after a buffer, sounds weird. Bad weird.

Used on bass. Creates a nice gritty distortion that is fun to play around with. Just hearing an imperfect synth like fuzz tone inspires you to play trancey doom like heavy riffs. Lost myself for a while there mucking around with it. It does not carry the bottom end quite as well as a dedicated bass fuzz but EQ adjustment after it in the signal chain can help.The tone control affects the fuzz in fun measures, but for me it lost the bottom end of the signal quite a lot.I found that by overdriving the input signal to it with a boss blues driver before it on a clean setting, it brought out a huge presence and restored much of the bass that was lost. Doing this causes the signal to break up at a lower volume too, which is fun, too!The volume does add a usable boost above unity.Overall a good cheap pedal, can be used to get some unique flavour in your signal.

really good fuzz for the money solid metal case nothing comes close.

i like that it is easy to get the sound you want and gives a very clear clean reverb pedal well worth the money

Nice looking, solid built and works! Made a huge difference. Well worth it. Arrived very quickly and was see packed. Clear, concise instructions. Would have been perfect if the powerpack was included.

I'm going to start by saying that I love a fuzz pedal. I've been 'playing' guitar for around 13 years now and one of my first 2 pedals was a behringer fuzz and since then I've bought another 3 and tried to build(slightly unsuccessfully) 2 more. I was hoping that, like I hoped with the MXR variac fuzz I last bought, this fuzz might be able to replace the Dr Green (chinese built, not the UK version) Hairy Tongue but sadly it won't be. It's a fine sounding fuzz, it gets really synthy and glitchy and with the tone knob the right person might be able to coax a great tone from it but I'm struggling, I'm finding it a bit too much of these things. My other issue is that I can't seem to bring it up to unity volume with my amp(H&K tubemeister 20 deluxe). Even at full volume I'm founding it never hits the same volume as the amp is clean(I run my amp into a 1st gen focusrite solo and, using Cakewalk as a daw, use torpedo wall of sound to host some own hammer ir's) . I can put a compressor in front of it and get unity, and that, tonally, can be awesome, it can create a really big fuzz sound, but I only have limited board space and don't want to fill any of it with a compressor.I would say that if you're on a budget and want a pretty aggressive fuzz tone you probably couldn't go wrong with this pedal but for me, it won't be staying as a permanent fixture on my pedal board
