Why aren’t more bass players using this fuzz?
In this video, I share one of my new favorite pedals with you: the Kasleder Albatross. It’s a blend between a modern JFET pre and an old-school transistor fuzz. I have a hard time finding fuzz pedals I love, so I show you why I connected with this one.

I’ve been bass fuzz shopping and trying a few recently. I wouldn’t buy this because (in priority order) it’s not enough fuzz, it’s $300, I don’t like the form factor (size, shape), and I don’t like the paint color. When I want a light drive, I’d use an overdrive. When I hit the fuzz, I want a pretty gnarly aggressive sound. Still at $300, most people won’t buy this. That’s a lot for a one trick pony pedal, especially when there are a lot of competitive offerings that do fuzz better for considerably less. But to each their own. It’s subjective. I would love to hear if a stingray humbucker would drive it up into a fuzzier range though.
Just ordered one. Can't wait to hear it under my fingers.
How much is it? I'm not forking out $300 for a fuzz pedal (I have 5 kids…so I can't). Do you have any recommendations for one around $50?

Probably because $300 is a lot more than most people spend on an individual fuzz pedal.
Once I bought a bass guitar from a guy called Kasléder. I said to him "funny, your surname matches the Kasleder brand". "That's me. I make them." It never occurred to me that anyone makes these decent pedals in my home country.
because there are way cheaper alternatives.
Can you do a shootout with some other fuzz pedals? Is there anything more readily available that you'd compare it to?
Fantastic pedal! I use mine for stoner rock but also for ambient sounds together with a delay. You can create some really interesting soundscapes with this combination. Greetings!
Thank you!
The main selling point for this fuzz is that it gives you that vintage fuzz tone without it being to be first in your chain. I have a fur coat fuzz, which sounds GREAT … But it's finicky and hates buffers.
Seeing it in between your compressor and Bassrig makes me so happy, as i would want the exact same placement
Playing starts at 3:00
Maybe because it´s not cheap (?) xD
Sounds great! Definitely going to have to pick one up.
I have a Cuvave fuzz, why would I need that?

Love your videos, i ordered one of those.. it sounds like the fuzz i want… great for indie music and not too aggresive.
could you maby do a video about how do you record your bass and videos for youtube? you made me want to start my own bass channel but i dont really know how to deal with the technicalities of video and sound editing (got my ableton set with my audio interface.. but from there i have no idea what to do )..
are you producing those drum beats by yourself are are you using some samples from elsewhere?
great content anyhow! glad that I have discovered you lately, gave me back my bass spark.
Pork and pickle fuzz is amazing to. And I believe it has a clean blend as well. Would be worth checking out. Awesome video tho! Big fan!
My favorite thing about this video is that the audio is mixed such that the foot switch click and your voice are significantly louder than the bass
So tasty and delicious! I’m sold ????????????????
Scott's bass lessons podcast brought me here, or should I say IMA. Subb'd love your content .
Loving the blend and the attack sound but I'm surprised it doesn't get a bit fuzzier! I assume it doesn't mind a booster before it to saturate it more. Of course your dry blend would then be boosted as well. I wonder how it clips when a booster is hitting that dry pass through.
Nice video.
You are very good at communicating and teaching. I'm new to all of this, but when you explain all of this I understand.
Blend control is useful. I haven’t looked into bass pedals much, but another useful feature for a bass distortion or bass fuzz would be some band limiting. The ability to keep the fuzz effect limited to a frequency range. So you could have a clean round bottom while dialing in fuzz to just the lower mids and up to taste. Similar to how plugins like Fabfilter Safurn can dial in distortion to a select frequency band. Anyone make an analog fuzz petal that does that?
You should test our Duality ????
It sounds cool indeed …
Very cool! It suits your playing really well. I personally prefer the second sound you dialed in (mix max, fuzz midway up), but hey, you be you! That’s the beauty of this pedal, versatility.
Yeah, this is all well and good but a quick search on Reverb reveals that Kasleder also makes a pedal called "Jellyfish" which is a specific Bass Overdrive/Booster. That's gotta be a real winner too i bet.
