Velvet Fuzz Pedal Review

Jack of all trades

I say jack of all trades because you can get so many tones out of this pedal. Also, it is so versatile that any guitar I plugged into it sounded good with minimal tweaking. Now I'm not a fuzz expert but it is a lot of fun and sounds good. It is also very responsive to the volume knob. Sweetwater is hands down the best place to buy. They have amazing customer service and prices.… read more Thank you Jacob Stutzman.

Fuzz newbie

Only one I own, but I like it! Nice change of pace from my regular overdrives. I use it more as a texture or change of color To my tone then it's true purpose of over the top distortion. My third Wampler pedal. I like them. See more of them in my future. Thanks Jozy! Keep the cool gear coming!

Different flavor of fuzz , in a very good way

I like a smoother fuzz that doesn’t sound sputtery and hack up the sustain in your lead tones. It responds similar to a big muff with an OD inline to smooth stuff out into violin like sustain. I like this sound a lot, it’s great for the David Gilmour and Eric Johnson type tones on its own and is especially great when paired with a light mid-forward overdrive like an Ibanez Tubescreamer… read more or a Boss OD1/OD2 type pedal. I use this a lot with my voodoo labs giggity inline also. When you use the dark setting to roll off the bite of my strat’s bridge pickup, it’s a Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover type tone all the way. It does really well with a compressor, in my case a EHX tone corset (Which is in and of itself a fantastic value in a compressor pedal FWIW and chosen often over my Keeley compressor). If you want a very playable, smooth and less fizzy/spitty/sputtery/lo-fi type fuzz, this is not your pedal. Also, unlike Lo-fi style fuzz boxes, pedals with high/mid EQ bumps (IE tubescreamers/klons) do not sacrifice your tone. The same can be said for buffers. It doesn’t ruin the impact of the effect, quite the opposite actually. I love it for that Hendrix style tone where one slams the front end of a Marshall with a fuzz box, resulting in more sustain, gain, and playability. My type,of fuzz for sure.

Incredible fuzz

I was looking for a fuzz pedal amd came accross the velvet fuzz online. All i can say is wow. Killer with both my strat and les paul. I have now bought the ephoria overdrive and the db boost. Add a carbon copy delay and a uvi vibe and im in heaven. Run it though a 59 bassman and i get the sound i have had in my head for years. You wont be disappointed.
