So I’m relatively new to fuzz. So far I have a Ge fuzz face, and an EQD hizumitas.

I play mostly low gain, but I actually prefer the sound of the hizumitas, especially when I roll the guitar volume way way back. I pretty much have it set to a tad above unity, everything on 0.

I’m thinking there has to be a muff that will let me reach those lower gain tones that are just out of reach with the hizumitas, without having to roll back to 4 on guitar, and turn off some other drives, as it’s sort of impractical with my current set up.

I’ll probably be pushing it with a ts9, if I must. But if there is one that has a bit more clarity and note definition, then perhaps I won’t need to? I’ll be using it for rhythm, alot of major/minor 1 5 8 3 arps, with some analog delay. Maybe some lead tones. With the hizumitas rolled back, I get this really nice woofy, smooth, “controlled” smooth woolyness that sits behind my playing, rather than the usual wall of fuzz or straight smooth distortion.

So far I have done a bit of research on the green russian, civil war muff, eqd hoof, and the frantone peach fuzz. I’m just a bit overwhelmed, and not too versed in muff circuits, or fuzz in general.

I’ll prob end up copping a clone of whatever I decide.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated…perhaps I’m not even looking for a muff? Lol

I’m running humbuckers(85/15) into a clean fender (HRD)

Thanks for reading!

    I mean my first was a biyang with a choice of diodes. Start cheap for sampling, I’d go crazy with it if you love the circuit.

      I just got don’t messing around and I think I’m just gonna forget this ever happened!

      I was going nuts over my dirt section the last week or so. I just took the fuzz face and klone off, and slid hizumitas towards the front and a good old ts9, and I’m actually quite happy with how it sounds now. I’m thinking about forgoing my compressor completely too. 🤔 oh lord.

      My dirt now goes ego comp > phaser > ts9 > hizumitas > lightspeed > (saturation side of deco later down the line)

      Now I’ll go crazy about “upgrading” my tube screamer, im sure 🤣
