My Top 10 Favorite FUZZ Pedals (in random order – 2021)


Ten awesome fuzz pedals that I really love. I’m sure more could be included and there’s more I love. Like Analog Man. Like Jam Pedals. Like Fjord Fuzz. This is what I had available to work with though. I’m sure this list will change quickly, so I’ll another one next year 😉

  • Man you know berkos? They use to produce a germanium model sold over 700$ it sounded fantastic but damn, 700U$

  • If you haven;t yet tried the 3Leaf Audio Doom2 fuzz pedal, be sure to check it out. I use it on my bass and it's a staple on my board.

  • Thanks for the fuzz uploads. Couldn't be more happier with the demonstration and performance.

  • Hey Sasha! New subscriber, killer channel. Probably the most underrated channel I’ve seen and you are definitely a wicked guitarist.

    Question: I’m looking into getting a new overdrive and fuzz. I’ve settled on Kingtone Duelist but I’m torn on the fuzz.

    I want to get the Kingtone Fuzz v2 but then there’s the Dominion Fuzz with a totally different circuit for Sil and Germ. Have you ever tried the Kingstone Fuzz? It’s cheaper than the Dominion Fuzz but I believe when you change between germ and sili it’s on the same circuit instead of two independent

  • To not have the Fuzz Factory the OG of boutique fuzz is kinda blasphemous. That being said you have some nice sounds.

  • The Isle of Tone pedals are nice, but overpriced…$999 for one pedal? No thanks!

  • I bought the Thorpyfx 🙂 Adrian lives in my county and I’ve met him, nice guy with enthusiasm! makes it special for me that his stuff is made here in Wiltshire 🙂

  • Hello.
    It's been 2 years since I started playing the electric guitar. I'm looking to buy my first fuzz and I'm looking for a fairly versatile fuzz and preferably not Germanium.
    Would you have any advice?
    in the tone of Jimmy Page for example.
    thank you

  • Just wanted to let you know that I love this video and have watched it a million times. Very educational for folks gettin g into fuzz. Thanks!

  • Absolutely amazing video. Maybe the best group of fuzz pedals every assembled and played with beautiful dynamics on YouTube. Vibes of Hendrix, Beck, Ronson…Well done sir…. ????????Dominion takes the cake for me even though I think the MK I Tone Bender is the best or second best fuzz of all time. I think some of Hendrix’s modded Fuzz Face pedals from 1970 take the cake for best fuzz tone, especially during Machine Gun Live at The Fillmore Isle of Wight and at Norman, Ok. Those are the best I’ve ever on record with the solos during Machine Gun at Isle of Wight taking the No. 1 spot. If I could have that pedal with those Marshall’s along with the Uni-Vibe I would never need another pedal.
