Barnezy Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Has anyone had success getting a good sound from running a fuzz pedal into an amp model? Recently tried it and it sounded pretty awful. Wondering if I've made an amateur error somewhere along the line. Putting the pedal between the guitar and input jack, going in to a clean Fender amp and cab model. The break up is lumpy. tried turn the sustain, level, guitar up and down, but struggling to replicate a some that sounds similar to going straight in to a tube amp. Fuzz models seem to sound way better than an external pedal, which is a shame as I was hoping to keep my drive pedals and use the Stomp for Delay, Reverb, Modulation and the occasional amp sim.

The Stomp can handle fuzz pedals just fine. The challenge here is always to figure out what setting is borked so that once tweaked it sounds good to you. 1. I don't necessarily think this will do it (especially since the main input defaults to instrument level and most guitar pedals are instrument level), but every time I don't suggest it seems like the person replies that that's what it was. 2. Have you tried a different amp in the Stomp? This isn't to say that it's impossible with the amp and cab you have selected, but trying different amp models can help you determine what types of settings you may need to tweak to make it happen. If you can get it to work on one model, then you usually know it's a matter of internal tweaking to make it work. At the same time though, there are some amp models that handle high gain pedals better just as their real world counterparts. 3. What fuzz pedal are you using?

Thanks, I will give these suggestions a go. It’s a Big Muff Op-Amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
