Ashbass FUZZbrite

Simple to use, plug, adjust volume & depth then watch the paint on the walls peel!

Great fuzz is hard to find. This is an excellent place to find it! Reportedly fashioned after the MOSRITE Fuzz pedal that although I have never played through, this pedal seems to meet the nasty '60s style fuzz if you want it to. Slight (very minimal) loss of signal when off. Virtually noiseless when off as well.

I've only had it for about two weeks and haven't had time to try all my guitars/amps with it. But looking on how well it is build it looks like it should last a l_o_n_g time.

Again, since I just recently purchased it, I haven't had to report a problem. Ashley (ASHBASS) was very prompt on shipping plus packed the item well.

I play alot of different styles but bought this pedal trying to nail the '60s garage fuzz riffs set forth by many of the obsure bands of that era. I am always searching for new fuzz flavors, keeping the more "tasty" and selling off the not so good. This pedal will be a keeper! If lost or stolen, I would buy another if available.

well people it doesn't get any better than two simple knobs to dial in the desired volume and depth of fuzz tone your after. the simple set up in my opinion is the best when playing live and not to fuss around with tweaking knobs for each song. set the this groovy box and venture out in the fuzzmania!!

i have been through countless fuzz boxes and this is the fuzz unit straight from the schematics of the true mosrite fuzz. this sound is straight from the 60's nuggets we all go wow!! now that is the fuzztone i'm after. it has the perfect sting from the swarm of mosquito's buzzing out of your amp. i had to get two units for that my good musician pal loved it so much i would have never gotten mine back. it nails the correct fuzztone without farting out or falling on its face. my tone madness stops here,believe me,and it doesn't matter what your rig is. this little baby will blow your mind and speakers.

i have never had a problem with this unit. it is constructed out of the finest metal box and no cheapy components. made with the top parts and switches available on the market. it is to the exact specifications of the mosrite fuzz. whatever mosrite used, ashbass used. if ever a problem occured, mr. bass is very friendly and stands behind his work. i got to be invited to go over where he lives and try out this pedal. he lives about a hour away...lucky me! anyways, this fella showed me what was with this unit and how it is taken from the original mosrite he had to copy from and wow! i was blown away by his knowledge and honesty of a true tone master. not once did he bullshit me to sell his creation! that is where i was sold!! the man stands behind his work and follows thru with his word!

it is very plain where i stand on that queston. refer to reliability and that is enough said without going on...and on...he is a true tone maker and stand up fella with his own personal guarantee on his work!

this fuzz seperates you from the crowd. that is why i love it so much!! i will continue my business with ashbass and if i ever need some tech help. i know he will be there for me to answer the most silliest queston because that's what kind of professional fella your dealing with. i always said, "finding true love is a never ending search process" but.."finding true fuzztone is a process that i found here". thanks man for all your hard work!!! cheers people for taking the time to read. now lets get groovy and fuzzout!!

2 knobs and on/of stomp switch

Great old 60s fuzz sound. It nails that Mosrite brittle nasally fuzz. It is a kinda high pitched when everything is cranked and for my taste I need to adjust stuff on my Bassman plus tone on geetar but otherwise love everything. Not a 'turn it on and it sounds great everywhere' for my setup but when everything is adjusted it is superb.

nice stomp switch

Play Les Paul thru Bassman + Fender 4x12

It's super easy to get a great sound. Just plug it in and go, and well you get a fuzzy mammoth right away. I didn't get a manual with mine, but you don't need one. Like I said, plug and fuzz-o-la!!!

I thought it sounded great upon first use through both my handmade tube amps. It is easy to balance tones and volumes, and it lends itself to many guitars (SG Special w/p-90s, Stock '60 Jazzmaster, 74 LP Special with Fralin custom-wound HBs and Gretsch Malcolmyoung with a TV Jones Power tron. I thought immediately of bands like Davie Allan, the Ventures, the MC5, and even groups lik MonsterMagnet, Fumanchu, early Sabbath, and of course Mudhoney. Hot damn, it's a fuzz pedal, you can't go wrong...

I feel that I could depend on it quite throroughly, although, I wish that it had a clip for the battery to keep it from moving around. I side it is very simple. All of the solder joints look good and proper. If it's anywhere near as well built Fuzzrite's it'll at least last my lifetime. My only complaint is like I said, I wish that it had a battery clip, but I can get on easily enough so no big deal.

Ashbass seems easy to contact and a good guy, so I am sure his support is good also. It is a simple pedal so he must not even need to do many repairs.

Great pedal for a good price!!! It's handmade, a exact replica of one of the best fuzzes out there, and it doesn't cost you as much as a house!!! I like tonnes of rock...old surf, rockabilly, garage, punk, etc...You've heard it all before....so I won't bore you. I would try to replace it if stolen. It holds its own with the old school pedals. My only comment is like I said I'd like a battery clip, but reallt who cares!!! Overall it will be a cool tool/toy in the future!!!

This is a VERY easy to use unit. It is your classic no-muss no-fuss FUZZ unit. One button, two knobs ... all rock.

I use it with Gretsch and Danelectro guitars. Amp - Peavey Delta Blues (not the ideal combo). The effect is always strong (as long as the battery is good). Make no mistake about it - it is a FUZZ TONE! Nothing really subtle about it, though there's a wide range of fuzz. If you're looking for that vintage Davie Allan (or Cynics) sound, this is it. Great fuzz, great price. It's not noisy, it's fuzz. Haven't been able to try it with a Mosrite, but I expect that that is the ideal guitar for this unit.

Very reliable - I've never needed a backup, aside from the time I forgot to pack a spare battery.

Haven't needed any customer support, other than friendly e-mail exchanges with manufacturer. Very nice fellow.

This is ideal for 60s garage music, or anyone who wants to sound like it. Your classic Davie Allan, Ventures, Fuzztones, Mudhoney, et.al. sound. I've played many distortion boxes, but none like this - it's as close to vintage as you can get, without the price and unreliability. I'd definitely purchase it again. I've been playing for 25 years, in many bands with many cd's and tours. This pedal is for real.

Plugged it in and got the fuzz right away!

Real fuzz tone!

The Depth control is so dynamic that you can really tailor the sound

Eg: From Satisfaction to Insence Peppermints to Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum.

I use 60's - 70's Fender Amps with Reverb, Twins, Princetons, Dual Showmans, Bandmasters ...

The guitars I use are Mosrites, Gretsches, Gibsons, Fender Jaguars, Mustang types, Strat, Guilds, Hagstroms ...

Didn't sound too noisy.

I can get Satisfaction (Sax sound), Spirit in the Sky, Pushing too hard, Groovy 60's ...

Just got it today

Seller is incredible!

Will answer your questions right online as fast as you can type, etc.

I play 60's style Rock in' Roll, Psychedelic, Surf, Rockabilly, Groovy stuff and Jazz, Blues, etc.

Best Fuzz yet since the 60's Gibson Maestro.

I'd get a few more if they got lost ... recomend them to my friends too.

I love the "ripping your pants off" kind of sounds alot.

Acid rock!

I like how the depth control can really tailor your sound and bring out the dynamics.

I think its more authentic then the Boss Mega Distortion as far as fuzz.

The Boss Mega Distortion is fabulous too for different kinds of distortion.

More Marshall type sounds.

The only thing I wish it had was a snap out battery comparment cause you have to unscrew the bottom part to change the battery but I hear the adapter jack eliminates this need.

Almost attempted to paint the thing some Psych color now - Lol!

You should do that Ashley?
...

It's perfect for my needs and next gig.

Good work Ashley!

Features a volume and a depth knob, with a stomp switch in the center. Even in a simple layout like this, I was able to get a wide variety of tones.

Unlike other fuzz pedals in this price range, this one features true bypass which is nice. This pedal is also very responsive to your playing style, and the controls are sensitive. I especially like this pedal with the guitar switched to the neck pickup, playing in the upper octave range of the neck. One can easily go from that Iron Butterfly fuzz tone to the Cream era Clapton sound with this unit.

The unit is housed in a metal box, all hand wired. I expect this pedal will last for a long time.

I emailed them with my questions and their response was quick. Ashley was very helpful and friendly.

For the price, I dont think there is anything better. This unit is ideal for classic rock fuzz tones. Much better then the production Dunlop Fuzzface.

this pedal only has good sounds are you kidding? It's sixties fuzz all the way. Turn the volume for louder or not and turn the depth for more fuzz or not. Depth on 10 is insane.

I'm playing a epi les paul into a fender amp with the fuzzbrite before a wha wha pedal. This nails the fuzz on Ventures tunes. I love it. Ther is no loss of tone when the pedal is off.

I can depend on it. It's a metal box with strong parts.

no need yet.

I play whatever is in my head at the moment. Surf, classic rock, alternative, whatever. I'll never get an original Fuzzrite so this is great. The maker says that it is the exact same as the originals. If it isn't it sure sounds the same to me.
