New FUZZ pedal from Wampler - the Fuzztration
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Well hey hey! A new Fuzz from Wampler. This one is quite a bit more aggressive than the Velvet, and includes an independent octave circuit in it. Full 3 band EQ, two different types of fuzz (with the "tight" mode being somewhat based around BMP gain stage topology), the fuzztration picks up where the Velvet fuzz left off. If the velvet was the nice neighbor next door, then the Fuzztration would be the unruly psychopath who terrorizes the neighborhood. Hope you enjoy it! Make sure you check it out at your local retailer, or at www.wamplerpeda...

I was gonna do exactly this :D
Me: The last thing I need is ANOTHER fuzz!
Also me: I'm definitely getting this.
I went on a bit of a fuzz buying binge this year, and NOW Brian comes out with this.............
@@pterantula I got the Keeley Dark Side and think it's awesome. I was actually gonna get the Monterey but decided on the Dark Side because it just seemed to do more but both are cool. The Dark Side is really cool. I love Wampler pedals too though.
I own upward of 40 fuzz pedals and I must say...Brian I absolutely love this pedal. I am actually floored. It sounded good with every guitar and every amp combination. I seldom comment on CZcams things. But this...this is insanely good. I’ll have one immediately.
this is the Best Fuzz I ever heard not distroying the sound like some fuzzes do but still punchy and not to dark
Sold!
Very very nice. TPS shirt. Very appropriate 😉
I'm building a Smashing pumpkins/90s vibe pedal board. This will be a perfect addition.
i love fuzz and I love my velvet fuzz
JUST got The fuzztration fuzz!
It’s fuzzin awesome! Thanks dude
I replaced my EHX Op-amp Big Muff and Octavix Octave Fuzz with the Wampler Fuzztration, and am very satisfied with my decision. The Fuzztration achieves the sound of both pedals, offers more tonal options, and is available at a lower price point than using the EHX pedals together. The Fuzztration also offers a very high-gain octave fuzz, reminiscent of Billy Corgan's work in the early Smashing Pumpkins, which has been hard to find.
That is lovely with the fuzz down a bit and cleaned up with the volume knob!
A welcome addition to the fuzz family.
I own a Velvet Fuzz and am obsessed with the lead tones I get in the ‘tight’ mode! That being said....every little example on here is gold! I especially love the tele and Les Paul tones with the octave side engaged and octave only.
This is officially the top of my Christmas wishlist if I don’t buy it for myself first. Great job, Brian!
@Wampler Pedals - I ended up buying it for my best friend on Black Friday and he loves the fuzztration even more than I do! You’ve earned a new Wampler devotee this week.
Mine arrived last Friday.. It's f*****g awesome! Thank you Brian Wampler for creating a fuzz which nails the fuzz sound I've had in my head for about 3 years!
Totally cool Fuzz and I am a 40 something and primarily play Doom/Stoner Metal so keep the hits coming Mr. Wampler
I JUST bought this pedal as an early Christmas present to myself. I love love love the tone shaping ability on this thing. It sounds incredible on P-90s and gets gnarly as hell in the tight mode with the octave on. It doesn't really like to clean up with the guitars volume even on a strat. But man I can achieve almost every tone I want from a fuzz with a little tweaking. And again... The tone controls on this pedal are divine. Excellent job Brian!
You guys are awesome at building pedals. I'd like for you guys to build the ultimate wah pedal. Keep the pedals coming.
It was good going into a clean amp but phenomenal when you cranked the Orange.
Thanks so much Brian !!!
i wish more "big" or small pedal builders have fun informal and good demos , like you and jhs :) could you demo this on bass ;)
Soooooo ... you've got a bunch of pedals that "didn't make it" to production. Not sure if you don't already have this, but it would be great to hear your thoughts (via video) on why X pedal ended up going nowhere.
I've done a few of those videos before, but they never seem to catch much traction.
I went through numerous pedals to get this tone. I’ve had mine for almost a year and it’s amazing!
I’m in the same boat I love distortion more then fuzz so in my mind mixing distortion with fuzz is just perfect.
Most workable fuzz ,,, I've ever heard ... I mean got the most usable ,,, controls & tones ... Well done ...
From roll-off the volume kind of clean ,,, to all the way spitting and sputtering ... Wow !!! That fuzz ,,, got the full gamut ... I love it ... D
Yeah ,,, if I'm trying to do clean ... With a fuzz pedal ,,, I need to watch more videos ...
Fuzz is so open to personal tastes and getting it to work right into your set-up - but i love this take, especially with the octave kicked in! Sporting my favourite TPS t-shirt too - winner winner!
I love fuzz and I love the velvet fuzz. It is very easy to use. The frustration is also a fantastic fuzz but more diff to set up. Both are great.
It’s funny I hadn’t heard you say that about the velvet fuzz, but I realize that is why I bought it. It could be tuned into a fairly refined raunch instead of just sputtering chaos, which I just don’t know how to use well. I think the velvet is in my top 5 favorites. With this new one, once again I think it is something I would do better with and I prefer the tones with it set to open, but I can’t describe why. It sounds more familiar I guess. I would choose this pedal now because I love that you put the switchable octave on it. It adds value, so much more than older fuzzes that are just on or off. It’s great you included a really killer octave to a really useful musical sounding fuzz. Awesome senior wampler!
I know what I'm getting for Christmas. It sounds like a massively tweakable version of the boost function of my Triple Wreck, which I love. The extra octave function is amazing, pre fuzz and flicking between voicings/ engaging octave sounded so musical, especially when you flicked the switches at the peak of a bend
Really enjoyed this, also love the addition of octave with selectable switching order! I’m definitely getting this fuzz soon, already see multiple ways I can use this.
It’d also be perfect for swamp rock, I’m gonna call it the ‘Swampler’. Lol.
WOW!!! This is going to be a must have... SLEEP and so many others NAILED!!!
Ah man I have been listening to chasing tone obsessively for about a month now. I myself am more of a metal head and doom guy. Not that it matters much buttttt the happiness I just got hearing Brain say he got the prs detuned to b I can't even explain ahah. The shirt tops it off. I need one. This is amazing. Ps I need this guys !!!
Sounds wonderful, Brian! The Velvet Fuzz has been one of my favorite fuzzes ever because of how usable and practical it is. However, this may have taken its place! Absolutely stellar sounding fuzz!
I've been waiting for this pedal. It should be here in two days.
I still love the Velvet Fuzz; it's the only pedal I know that has the pick attack compression you get from old amps out of coulombs. But the Fuzzstration sounds like you have managed to trick out one of my favorite fuzztones of all time. It sounds like the great grandson of the Jordan Boss Tone that Randy California took the stage with in 1967 at the old Fillmore in SF running into a Sears Silvertone 2x12 and tearing down the house. I worked with RG Keen when he was at IBM in Austin to duplicate the BT sound, squelch and all (listen to Spirit's Mechanical World to hear it cut off), but we never quite got it. But several generations later, the spirit of the Boss Tone shines on.
AWESOME PEDAL !! Until recently, fuzz was low on my list. But this has become "The Year of Fuzz". Having purchased a Seymour Fooz only months ago, I thought I was set for years. You've scored big. This pedal is FANTASTIC. Gonna be a standout like the Tumnus. Purchased one from Sweetwater earlier today. Great job sir. 🙌👍🎸🎶
Just when I thought I had enough fuzz! This will be on the top of my list for future purchases.
Wow! I have the Velvet Fuzz , but this new Fuzzstration pedal is a must have....so awesome! Great job.
Wow! This is EXACTLY what I’m looking for in a fuzz! NEEEEED
People who don't like fuzz don't deserve fuzz. They can't appreciate the importance of refining your sound over weeks, considering amps, pickups, strings, tonewood, etc. in order to achieve absolutely perfect tone, and then completely destroying it with a beautiful fuzz! The aural equivalent of the 'burn what you love' philosophy.
Edited to mention how much I dig that Fuzztration, awesome sound!
*sniffs cork deeply* ahh yes
Have the Velvet Fuzz, which I LOVE. It was my first Wampler pedal but damn... this Fuzztration is BAD ASS!
You’re slowly taking over my pedalboard. I first got a Tumnus, then the Dual Fusion and an Ego Compressor. I’ve been playing the Black Velvet fuzz and love it in combination with an EQD the Depths pedal. It nails the Hendrixy/EJ tones. Now I’m going to have to get the Fuzztration. All my tone needs from country chicken picken’ to doom/stoner metal and everything in between will be covered...for a while lol
Sounds Killer, Brian. Congrats!
For the love of god Brian move the damn fuzz knob. I just wanted to hear it down just a little bit
dayum, this sounds sick. well done, sir. not a bad sound in there.
Loved the open settings.
The pedal look kool and have nice features. Great sounding octofuzz
This reminds me of the Danelectro Black Paisley liquid metal that I have ! 😊
Such a badass fuzz!! Def need one! My fav on my board is my Philly fuzz Heretic.
Fantastic with the octave on.
Come on bri. Give us a fuzz face with the greatest volume knob cleanup since the early germanium fuzzes!
😲I’ll be needing one of these now, and I thank you.
You make a damn fine case for this pedal, Brian. Ordered. Merry Christmas to me.
Looking forward to getting my hands on this one, sounds great
Just went to try this at my local shop Alto music. They didn’t have it in the store I went to but are having it sent down from another. Then I wanted to play the Pantheon with a Tumnus deluxe that I own and they didn’t have one, however they did have a Pinnacle. Now I’ll have a Tumnus, Pinnacle(maybe deluxe), a Fuzztration, and I’m sure I won’t walk away from the Pantheon! Damn it they’re great pedals man... I’m thinking a dual Tumnus/Pantheon would be killer and save me some room. Being that as a brand loyalist, if you made a killer wah, I’d be in and broke!
I like this!
Actually yea I really love that added the octave.
Very cool pedal, I have to admit I'm not a fuzz guy , like my overdrives and my Nu-tube screamer. If I were to try a fuzz this would definitely be one for me to try. I think it's really subjective to what you run. Most if not all of my guitars have custom electronics so that plays a big part for me as well.
Great work , cheers!
My only complaint is I wish this was smaller. But my god it sounds amazing! Definitely putting this on my board somehow..
That sounds great Brian!!!
Awesome Brian Good stuff very cool
Great! another pedal that I want. Thanks Brian, stupid genius jerk. lol
😅 There with ya
I love this pedal. You might think Wampler is generic but whatever. This kicks ass all over the place. What's wrong with a consistent sounding fuzz with a myriad of flavors, nothing.
I even love the name and graphics because it's a stab at nihilism and is totally nihil good.
Your Velvet Fuzz is the last word for me in Fuzz! I guess I like my fuzz with overdrive and Distortion mixed in. Don't get me wrong, you REALLY gotta dial the Velvet Fuzz into its sweet spot with each amp I plug it into. This new fuzz is great but I don't need such amounts of gain. Your Velvet Fuzz is the perfect one for me!
Humbuckers...Definitely!
Nice T-shirt by the way
brilliants tones
Sweet, this will fit in place of Fulltone Ultimate Octave & eliminate the need for another muff fuzz. Boostable mids ftw.
That's how I felt about the Velvet fuzz too. I think you need to make a magic Eric Johnson pedal next...
Very cool. Very Fun.
I would love to see a bass demo for this pedal to hear how it sounds
I am not a fuzz guy but that being said I am not anti fuzz either. I'm an 80s kid and although there's not a lot of room for fuzz and eighties music I think you have created the pedal that everyone should have on their pedal board. Think I'm going to have to get me one.
Had an opening on the board. Wanted a fuzz. Really wanted one with an octave. This one came out. Here I am.
One year later and I still love it
Such a Wampler fan. I bought this and THEN watched this video. I like Keeley but this smokes the Monterey
I've got both on my board 🤷♂️🤣
I hope this stays in production for a good length of time (and the Velvet Fuzz, too), because the CTC Constellation is a limited run, and these are all my fuzz needs...
Sounds awesome man!
...love the octive...
All the fuzzizles that fizzizzled... This one may be a hit.
After 10 minutes of video - I'm gonna get one!
Fuck. Brian didn't even change guitars and I already want the godam fuzz so bad.
Wow!!!! Very nice!!!
Crikey! I don't like fuzz tones, but that sounds great!
Ah the blue fuzz, my dad still has one, cool pedals not really that much like a fuzz sorta but cool.
Oh man. I want one.
How is it with bass?
Kinda like a "gateway" fuzz? What if I get hooked?
You evil genius. I'm trying to get away from pedals but you keep dragging me back in. \m/
Cool t-shirt! I have one as well. 😃
That discombobulated dial configuration is giving me a complex. Sounds wonderful though. You should seriously consider donating one to me. Really, seriously.
Did you notice the superior texture of the red textile you're wearing? I want to import a couple more because of that.
and fuzz is truly all you need.
I want this. Now.
I'm pretty sure you made this one for me!
Sounds killer! Though I'm curious, why did you retire the Leviathan?
Hello Brian, I wanna thank you for this Pedal, mine arrived today. I am very happy with the sounds. I have a question: is the mids control an active one?
Something I'd really love to see (which for all I know is what you've done here, but I don't think so) is a modern take on the Boss FZ-2, which is a wonderful pedal but sadly not without its problems. I think it'd be dramatically improved if an aggressive LPF was added pre-gain (which clarifies the sound a lot) and more of a mid-hump added post-gain, and the Gain II and boost modes got rid of. Even with the bass and treble on zero it's not got enough mids for my liking. Given the FZ-2 is a bit of a cult pedal these days, with prices steadily rising to match, and it hasn't been made for years people'd probably eat it up.
Boss is more likely than not eyeing a Waza version for the FZ-2. But yeah, I'd welcome a take on that pedal, as well.
@@EversonBernardes I'm surprised there isn't an FZ-2W already, especially considering that, of all things, there's a Waza Metal Zone. Which is apparently one of their highest-selling pedals, but I really doubt the sort of people buying them (read: 15-year-old metalheads in their bedrooms) are going to spring for a high-end version.
@@CLaw-tb5gg I mean, the TU-3W is a thing. A tuner. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to how Boss is fleshing out their Waza lineup :D
Sounds killer
Tele into the Deluxe sounded great from here. lml
I would have put in an additional foot switch for the open & tight settings, so they could be switched during a solo. The contrast of the two response tapers would be nice to switch on the fly while the notes were flowing. Is there an internal trim pot for the octave balance? Sounds similar to a Foxx Tone Machine on steroids. Very cool sounding pedal.
Would you say this is the best Wampler fuzz pedal for metal? Want something thats absolutely nasty but still tight and articulate.
I'm thinking about getting one. Don't tell my wife.
Perfect, I am in the market. I heard some KWS tone in there. Can you follow up with one of your great chasing tone series vids? Say, Rival Sons?
What do you have against Bass players? Hmm? We like the fuzz too! Demo this thing with a bass!!! Thanks
I got Iommi type vibes from a Tele! I'm not sure if that speaks to the versatility of the pedal of the guitar! This is coming from a Strat guy too but I also love Teles. I just don't actually have one.
wowww! now i'm start to love fuzz pedals kkkkkkkkk
