Which is best for your budget? FENDER Hammertone FUZZ Vs VAHLBRUCH Octavia

Показать описание
This video is part of the 30 videos in 30 days challenge for the month of November 2022. In today's shootout, we are comparing the fuzz tones from the Fender Hammertone Fuzz, which retails for $79.99 USD, with the Vahlbruch Octavia which retails for $203 USD.

Fuzz is a very polarizing effect. Some love it and other loath it. Both the Octavia and Hammertone fuzz offer some great fuzz tones. The Fender is a silicone based fuzz, which sounds to me very Fuzz Face-ish. The Vahlbruch is a Germanium Fuzz Face with all the qualities you would expect from this circuit.

I am using my trusty Vox AC15c1, loaded with a Celestion Greenback, mic'ed with a Shure SM57.

For the price! Fender is the choice! Has an internal trim pot as well to change voicing

I have the Vahlbruch, and it’s great, but the Fender sounds every bit as good in this comparison, and it has a tone control. The version 2 of the Vahlbruch has an added tone control, but if I could go back in time I’d definitely get the Fender, given the huge difference in price.

Simple and plain for me: if you can afford the Octavia (although a little bass heavy) go for it but you are not falling far behind if you get the Fender which still surprises me for its value for money. Personally i'd save up. Sorry if i have stated otherwise for the Octavia in older videos. The pedal is good.

Hands down the Octavia. The Fender sounds tinny and shrill next to it. That ending was dynamite. Thanks!
