I my analog days I often kept some variation of a Fuzz Face pedal in my chain. My favorite was the Fulltone '69 pedal because 1) it was germanium, which I prefer, and 2) it allowed you to fine-tune the bias and contour to remove any inherent "woofiness" in the tone, resulting in a tighter feel that tracked better on fast runs.
The Arbiter Fuzz on Helix sounds OK, but is a bit too "wooly" for my tastes. It also seems to be modeled more toward the silicone end of the fuzz spectrum.
Does anyone have a suggestion for either fine-tuning the existing Arbiter Fuzz effect to get a tighter tone, or for getting a similar sound using one of the other distortion effect models?
Thanks,
Mike
