This is how effects reviews should be done

[chassy]

I won’t lie I think the first one sounds the best

[captaincringe]

I love that EH Big Muff compared to others, not only because it was able to keep the original sound character of the bass, but also the ability to pulled out the tonal accuracy.

[Whiskel]

The Joyo does very well across all sections of this video. Also the EHX and the TAFM. I do like the Hartke, but it's sounds like quite a drastic EQ shift.

[studiodsr]

Great video. The $30 Voodoo Octave Fuzz sounds surprisingly great

[vyladence]

moral of the story: everything sounds good with a jazz bass

[GCEzel]

They are so different from one another, it's so cool to hear the differences.

[QuanNguyen-krhz]

The Big Muff and the MXR Bass Fuzz consistently had the best tones throughout all five demos, followed closely by the Duality. They retained the low end ridiculously well while maintaining note clarity. The Joyo was surprisingly not that bad given its price and that it's designed for guitar. The Hartke was thin-sounding and muddy at the same time.

[zackeverson]

This was probably the best review video I’ve ever seen. That Joyo is surprisingly good

[CosmicPowerCP]

Awesome, really love the hartke sound

[rammsam]

I would probably go for the Hartke or the Aftershock, both sounded very consistent. The Hartke seemed to have a personality of its own, very musical and "punchy" so to speak. The Aftershock seemed the king of versatility for me, because apart from the fuzz mode, which works incredibly very well in comparison to actual "fuzz-only" pedals, it also has two other modes. Mindblowing really.

I know this is an older video, but just wanted to say this is a great comparison simply for the amount of pedals it includes. Some of them are so different from each other in character it's hard to pick a favorite. The Harke, BigMuff and Terminal standout to me, but they are all so different. Thanks for this!

[DoctorIntrepid]

So happy to see the Hofner in the mix. I play Hofners exclusively and rarely do I see gear demonstrations using them. Thank you!

[MyBassistChris]

Thanks for watching my bass fuzz shootout! If I had the funds at the time here are some other cool fuzz pedals I would have added to the shootout: Aguilar Fuzzistor, Zvex Mastotron, Way Huge Pork & Pickle, Earthquaker Cloven Hoof. Enjoy!

[augustus]

I think the Electro-Harmonix Bass Muff is the best for it's price! Awesome demo Chris!

[kevindabramo]

Big Muff and MXR for me. Thanks for the great video Chris!

[garrettgerbil]

Quality view, Wide scope, Realistic selection for test basses; This is a helpful review. 10/10
My Favorite - The EHX Bass Big Muff

[dizzysuspect]

Hartke on No One Knows sounds very close.

[bertrandmajorik]

BASS player here, I'm on the hunt for a fuzz and your sound clips made me GAS for Team Awesome Fuzz Machine. although the Terminal has a unique sound. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us.

[guero_mocoso]

Bass Big Muff for the win (for my taste, of course)!
