4/5/2023 0 Comments Stache 7 vs stache 9![]() It gets a lot of interest for the gated tones, but really does a lot more too.Ĭlick to expand.You could try messaging Wren and Cuff about it. I often have both it and the TFR as options, with the TFR filling more of a fat distortion/drive role and the Mastotron filling the edgier fuzzy and/or gated role (though the Sub switch on the Mastotron makes it quite fat if you want it). ![]() I also would recommend checking out the Zvex Mastotron as an option- it’s another fuzz that has outlasted tons of competition on my board and is quite versatile. I’d love to try a TAFM again now to see if I might have a different take. The TFR kicked it off the board pretty quick. I had a TAFM for awhile before the TFR and really liked its versatility and tone soloed, but for me it kinda lost the fat in a mix forcing me to crank it too loud to not drop out. Not that it is worse at all, just a bit different and it’s been so long I can’t recall how it changed. It actually sounds different with the clean blend option installed vs without one- which he warned me about when I got it. I originally bought it without then sent it to him to add on later and not sure I gained much, though I tend to leave it with 25% or so clean blended in to clean it up slightly (it is subtle). I actually don’t consider the clean blend necessary on the TFR. I particularly like it with flat wounds on my Rickenbackers, which are low enough that it can almost sound like a fat overdrive. It does lower gain tones better than most Muffs (in my opinion), and has plenty of fat lows to spare. I’ve used a TFR with the clean blend for several years and still love it. Lastly, is it imperative to choose a fuzz pedal that has been specifically designed for bass? I would also like to know what your thoughts and opinions are on both the Wren and Cuff TFR and the Grey Stache with versus without the clean blend mods and why. I am hoping to get some feedback from those who have experience with these specific pedals as well as what the likes and dislikes are for each pedal and why. One that performs well with lower levels of saturation (mild fuzz), i.e. One that doesn’t result in degradation of the low end - remains articulateģ. A fuzz pedal that cuts through/doesn’t get lost in the mixĢ. There are certain characteristics that I am hoping to obtain from a fuzz pedal:ġ. I should also note that I don’t play metal, doom or stoner rock. I mainly play either a Fender Precision with flats, Fender Precision with rounds or a Fender Jazz with rounds through either an Ampeg SVT-VR with either an Ampeg 8x10 or 6x10 or a late 70s Ampeg V-4B through an Ampeg 6x10. I have determined that I like the smooth creaminess of muff based fuzz pedals. I also haven’t completely ruled out the Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie Hella Fuzz B. Although I consider the BFD to be an adequate effect while playing on my own, I feel as though I get lost in the mix in a band/live setting.īased upon the research I have conducted thus far, I have narrowed it down to 3 or possibly 4 contenders Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian, Fuzzrocious Grey Stache (possibly with the clean blend and tone bypass mods) and Smallsound/Bigsound Team Awesome Fuzz Machine. I am a newcomer to TB (first post) and am currently researching and exploring my options in hopes of replacing my MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe with a fuzz pedal that will better suit my needs.
