Wanna get me fuzzrite.

[ImNotJohnnyRamone]

Hello all my Mosrite brothers and maybe sisters. Ive been wanting a fuzzrite fir sime time now. I need to know a lot about them before I go and get one. Sound. Good? Great? Bad? Cost. And last does anyone have one.

They seem to command quite a price on eBay, when the show up. A clone may be more palatable.

They are fuzzy, to be sure!

I got a Fuzzrite a year or so ago from Andy Moseley.He has them on eBay once in a while.I think I paid around $250.00 or so . These are electronics from the 60's in a newer box from the 70's.Mine looks new!Andy even autographed it for me.I also have Fuzztone from 67 and a reissue Fuzztone from a few years back. As far as sound goes,the Fuzztones get the Satisfaction Stones sound and many others. To me the Fuzztone sounds a little looser and grainy compared to the Fuzzrite. The Fuzzrite can get that ( Green Acres ) tight fuzz sound with no problem. If your old enough to remember that show

Hey Veenture, hows that clone?

I forgot! I also tried the fuzzbrite.The sound is VERY close to a Fuzzrite. The problem I had with it was the build quility.The soldering job was so bad that even some of the wires had broken off of the connections before I got it.I ended up pulling all the wires out and redoing the whole thing over myself I eMailed the guy and he acted like there was no way it could be like that. He made it sound like I don't know what I'm doing ....Well that was my bad experence others may have had no trouble.

Hey Veenture, hows that clone?

I'm quite satisfied with it and it does the job well, although the fuzz sound is not a main ingredient in my 'repertoire'. I have had no problems with it at all but perhaps quality is not constant in the clones by Ashbass. I notice the price has gone up considerably too; I paid $95,00 for mine a few years ago on ebay, straight from the builder.

For the going prices today and considering quality and cosmetics, I would go for the Fuzzrite version by "mahoney". Our Forum member "Imperial" builds 'em himself -calls his clone "BUZZ rite by mahoney":



BTW, Imperial's latest version has a pilot light -which I consider an improvement.
