The Octane 3 fuzz stomp from boutique guitar effects pedal maker Zvex delivers one of the most in your face Octavia-style fuzz tones ever crafted by human hands. Simple chords become crazy note combos; go complex and you get more noise. Combine the Octane 3’s high gain fuzz sound with its stratospheric octave up effect then scoop out some mids and you can get ear splitting shrieks like cars going by at lightning speed three inches from your face. Plug it into a clean channel to really hear all the nuances of the Octane 3’s roar.

With the fame of its smaller footprint JR series, Amptweaker has included guitar and bass versions of its Fuzz pedals, launching the BluesFuzz JR. These pedals boast most of the tone-tweaking features found on their bigger counterparts, while eradicating battery switches, lit controls, effects loops, and boost features that are unnecessary to some players to shrink the size and weight. The BluesFuzz JR Effects Pedal contains Fuzz, Tone, and Volume control, which automatically changes bias for more exquisite clean tones. Its Fat/Normal/Tight switch lets you adjust your guitar’s attack.
Delivering Aguilar bass pedals’ trademark textured and deep tone, the Fuzzistor offers classic silicon transistor distortion. It evokes the sound of classic vintage dirt while maintaining the low end goodness put out by your bass. Crafted particularly for bass guitar, the Fuzzistor tightens up low frequencies instead of choking or lopping them off entirely. This classic silicon transistor circuit adds warm-fuzzies to your sound and includes some fundamental contemporary features, such as a wet-dry blend to bring some untouched signal back into the mix and tilt-style EQ for an extensive range of tonal shaping.
Despite its name, the Eisenhower Fuzz guitar effect pedal from Danelectro isn’t stately and gentlemanly at all; it’s a balls-to-the-wall octave fuzz effect generator that comes at you like a sledgehammer. Extreme gain coupled with four dedicated control knobs—Volume, Fuzz, Treble, and Bass—and a Flat-Sculpt toggle switch lets you dish out everything from buzzy, old-school fuzz to massive metal tones with a tinge of atonal weirdness. This slim form stompbox doesn’t run on battery juice and needs to be connected to a compatible 9V power supply.
The Wee Buzz is a more compact and affordable variant of the Bee Buzz and is based on the original Roland Bee Baa as well. The Wee Buzz is designed for players who want a little fuzz minus all the fancy features. It employs the similar circuity used by its big brother Buzz but comes in a more pedalboard-friendly package. Closely resembling other Black Cat pedals, the Wee Buzz carries only the basic features and is pure fuzz. It does not include a control to dial in the fuzz as it is handcrafted to be maxed out always.
The TightFuzz Pro is built from Amptweaker’s famous TightFuzz distortion pedal. Similar to the standard-sized variant, it boasts several tonal options thanks to the Silicon/Germanium switch, 60’s/70’s tone switch, and Smooth Edge switch. The TightFuzz Pro introduces an auto-bias feature built into the Fuzz control that lets the knob control the nastiest and cleanest distortions using a single control. Unlike most “reissue” fuzz boxes, the Tight control’s addition allows the input of the fuzz circuit to be buffered from your guitar in a compensated fashion.
