I don't know that I need a Fuzz Pedal or will.  But then I do want to learn the Kinks "You Really Got Me"!  And soon.  I gotta have a fuzz pedal for that, right?  Come on, please.  Encourage me!  😏

Fuzz pedals are in that category of overdrive/distortion/fuzz.  I've got the overdrive covered with my Tube Screamer.  But I'm still looking for when I need that really nasty.  Rumour has it that Ray Davies took a razor blade to his speaker to get the fuzz tone.  Other things I've read dispute that.  I'll have to recheck my copy of "Record Collector ,The Kinks" to see if it addresses that.  (below)

for anyone else looking for one, Josh Scott of JHS Pedals does a great job of describing the different types. He breaks it down to different number of transistors, or topology.  Probably more information than anyone needs to know but Josh does, as he so often does, make it interesting. 

A great introduction to different fuzz pedals available.  I'm off to Reverb to do some shopping. 😆
