In this article, we’re going to be discussing the 8 best fuzz pedals for bass guitar, that exist in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before we jump straight into this, we’re going to briefly touch on what exactly a fuzz pedal is, and how it differs from other bass guitar processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, let’s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Bass Fuzz Pedal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Bass Fuzz Pedal is a bass effects unit, similar to a bass distortion pedal<\/a> or bass overdrive pedal<\/a>, which modifies a signal to produce a ‘fuzzy’, ‘buzzy’ and slightly ‘distorted’ sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sound was originally made popular in the 1960s\/70’s and was originally created by turning up a tube-amplifiers gain knob, to overdrive its internal preamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although fuzz can also be found in some bass multi effect pedals<\/a>, it’s generally of higher quality in a singular effects unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overdriving a bass signal in order to achieve this effect greatly changes the waveform of the original signal, adapting the audible timbre, taking away some low-end, adding sustain and high-end harmonics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore it’s important that proper EQ is done, to help the bass signal remain bass-like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuzz pedals for bass guitar are generally used in blues, rock and indie music, where the common characteristic of both guitar and bass is to produce a slightly distorted sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information on Bass Fuzz, take a look at Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bass Fuzz Units are commonly used within both a live performance and studio recording environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we’ve briefly talked about, it’s important to note that because of the way in which a bass fuzz pedal processes the dry bass signal, and manipulates the waveform,  it’s best to place this strategically within your pedal board’s signal chain, using it in a position where the noise floor of the input signal is low, and other pedals down the signal path are not likely to accentuate the processed signal further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, we’ve listed the products below in price order, from least expensive (at the top) to the most expensive (at the bottom). Alongside this, we’ve commented on each product’s features and technical specifications, so that you can make the best decision as to which unit suits your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, without further ado, let’s discuss what the best bass fuzz pedals are in 2020!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
