True Fuzz Tone, seriously is there one?

man I can't find it.  a real 60's fuzz tone ala Tone Bender.  It is not here, perhaps it's impossible to model the germanium diodes, biut there were some pretty great silicone diode based ones.  How do you get your fuzz on with the HD?

    Personaly I was also really looking at a real oldschool fuzz tone and indeed there is no real oldschool fuzztone on the PODHD, that is the reason when I bought my PODHD500 I also bought a Germanium fuzzbox, that I hooked up to my PODHD500 to make a killer tone

     

    there are pretty good fuzz boxes, but if you want the beez knees of fuzz boxes you might want to get a pedal for it.

    The emulation of the Vox Tone Bender is called "Jumbo Fuzz". The Colorsound version is called "Line 6 Drive",  with Output set to 100%.

    There are so many different varieties of fuzz, that it would really hard to please everyone, but there are 9 different distortion models that are based on different fuzz pedals.  There's the Color Drive (Ok, technically an OD, but it's more fuzz than OD, if you ask me), Buzz Saw, Facial Fuzz, Jumbo Fuzz, Fuzz Pi (Big Muff), Jet Fuzz, Line 6 Drive, Sub Octave Fuzz, and Octave Fuzz. I know some of these probably are not necesarily vintage in character, but it should give you a good pallet of tones to work with. You can always try stacking different models together, too.
