How to get a fuzz tone — and 63 famous songs that use it, each with researched amp settings and gear you can adapt to your rig.
Fuzz is all-in: huge sustain and thick, woolly saturation. The trick most people miss — roll your guitar's volume knob down and a good fuzz (Fuzz Face, Big Muff) cleans up to a gritty edge, so you can control the whole range from the guitar. Put fuzz FIRST in the chain, before wah and overdrive.
Famous songs that use fuzz include Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, Time by Pink Floyd, Mayonaise by The Smashing Pumpkins, Entombed by Deftones, Echoes by Pink Floyd, Bound for the Floor by Local H — and 63 tones on this page have researched settings you can adapt to your own rig.
