This was built for some raucous bass fuzz, based on the Zvex Woolly Mammoth, a simple little veroboard build with some evil sounds, uses 2 x 2n3904 transistors to generate the nastiness.  Heres a rather crude youtube soundclip |

based on the Zvex Woolly Mammoth Don't say that. Zach might come after you with lawyers in tow.  |

Well, that was certainly enough fuzz for two bass players... What does it do if you feed an overdrive into it?

gotta give that a try! Thinking of rebuilding with a blend knob added for bass to mix in some dry signal, might make it a bit less Trunk-in-yer-Face

You know what would make a great fuzz pedal?
A QuadraFuzz pedal! ^_^

I'm thinking this is one of those fuzzes which sort of expects to load down passive pickuls attached to it. A low input Z kills a bunch of treble on the way in, so that less tone shaping is required inside the pedal.
After a buffered OD it may start to get a bit fizzy and splatty. Course, there's a place for that kind of thing, too...

Some of the Zvex pedals have a reputation for sounding awful with an active guitar/bass input. I tried this one with both active and passive basses and it sounds immense, too big for me to make use of in my band, but maybe with a blend knob, it might tame it sufficiently for some RATM or Muse numbers
