For those who’d rather not spend upwards of four figures on their next fuzz pedal, luckily plenty of new pedal options are available at Chicago Music Exchange! But, it’s perhaps no surprise to hear CME’s used and vintage buyer Dan Lump say that a good vintage fuzz pedal is hard to beat, soundwise, compared with the vast array of fuzzes available today. To give you a sense of what he means, here’s a shootout of some of the most sought-after fuzz pedals in our vintage and used inventory so you can hear how they all sound side by side—from first-year Fuzz Faces to a selection of the most prized Big Muffs, plus, one of the most complex and unique-sounding fuzz circuits of the era! Watch to the end to hear Dan and Nathaniel tell you a few of their favorite new fuzz pedals at CME!

DID YOU KNOW?
The 1960s were a heady time for guitar effects, with the very first fuzz pedal arriving in 1962: the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1. Based on the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1/FZ-1A, the FM-1 Fuzz Master made the popular fuzz effect accessible to hip Japanese guitar players.
