Ten Pedals, One Riff: Fuzz

Tone may be in the fingers, and composition may be the most important aspect of a great song, but could there be a correct pedal for a certain riff? That’s what the riff experts at zZounds are asking and why they’ve put together a video demoing one riff through ten different and distinct dirt pedals. Will the riff sound better through a beefy fuzz or one with a more glitchy tone? There’s only one way to find out!

Watch as Justin plays the same riff through ten different pedals. From hairy fuzz to glitchy distortion, Justin will prove just how much a pedal can affect your tone!
