Josh JHS is such a dude, it's a great YT channel for sure.

Saw this last night, kinda wish he'd compared all of these examples rather than a handful, given that he has an insane collection of the originals.

I'm with him on the Superfuzz, I bought one last year and fucking love it. If it had a switch for mode 1's octave-up, it'd be PERFECT

Another superfuzz fan here also.

Great video that made me want to get my guitar out as and play some pedals

Always liked the Superfuzz as well, two great modes and a useful clean boost.

Didn't realise they made a copy of the HM-2 until watching this video.

Mode 1, with low gain is the key I reckon; enough midrange and not too compressed. Fuzzes always sound better going into a slightly crunchy amp, but it's defo not a barre chord kind of fuzz for sure.

Noooo, I mean it has an 'octave fuzz' kinda vibe that I'd like to be able to turn off sometimes. Seems like these guys have done it already, might give it a look, although mad-pricey

That half-gain switch makes it look like a winner, hmm..

Bump.

Bought another Superfuzz and had a quick go before going cinema.

You can jam the fuzz in between both settings. Stays in place pretty well too. Sounds cool.

Sounds EXACLTY like the HM-2. And it's PINK! Of course, when I came across a real MIJ HM-2 for Γƒβ€šΓ‚Β£30 quid, I picked that up, and binned off the Behringer. But that's my corksniffing cross to bear.

I had a Behringer Super Fuzz on my board for aaggeess, pretty much exclusively used the 'Boost' function though. IIRC it didn't sound much like a boost, but it was good.

Weird, I feel like it works fine as a BOOST on mine, and still uses the 2-band EQ in that mode, which is pretty handy.

Maybe mine was a dud then? Honestly from what I remember the boost setting was just a nicer sounding fuzz than either of the other settings.

Maybe your switch was busted, .. or, as it's possible to stick it in-between modes 1 and 2 for a blend like Rob mentioned, maybe you found an elusive 4th dimension there
