tc electronic Rusty Fuzz

Solid build quality, great sound, unconventional on/off switch

Really love this pedal so far, it's my first fuzz pedal and it's the exact sound I want, just a crazy vintage fuzz tone. The build quality is way more than what I was expecting, compared to £30 joyo pedals. They feel really solid and the knobs don't feel cheap at all.

The only "issue", is that the switch is quite soft, (not a very clicky one), and engages when you release the switch, as opposed to engaging as it's pressed. This doesn't bother me, but it's definitely unconventional.

Just do it!

Build to last the armageddon. sounds great, really nice fuzz, and for this price is just excellent.

A good pedal for beginers

The sound is not as "Fuzzy" as I expected. Don't get me wrong, you can still get great sounds from it and it works good as a heavy distortion pedal. The adjustability is a bit limited and also the screw/washer of the output line is loose and comes out if you pull the cable. This does not affect the sound of the pedal and could propably be easily fixed with the corect tools. Overall, this is a good pedal, although I would also check some of the competing pedals at the 30 euro price range (behringer/harley benton)

Soft fuzz, hard case

Love the metal casing. The pedal feels sturdy and all the knobs too. All the cable inputs are at the top, which i like.

Soundwise its a "softer" fuzz . You have to turn it realy up to get the distorsion working

The gentle genuine Fuzz tone..

I play the guitar almost 35 years,this pedal has the clear Fuzz tone i was looking to find..Crispy,clear not muffy at all..It is only,FUZZ..

I have the EHX Russian Muff and the extra rare EHX Muff-Fuzz (the mini box) from the 70's they are both very excellent,but the Rusty Fuzz is something else..It has a very nice clarity and will never mess your sound..the only pedal i could compare whith it,is the Gibsons Maestro but i like the Rusty more..The footswitch release is not a big deal for me,its very easy to get used with this..Silent and very easy to handle..

At this price is a gem..Totally recomended..

Good value for the price

Does it fuzz? Absolutely

Is it adjustable? Not really

I found the fuzz effect on this pedal is not flexible enough. I was hoping for starting from drive to push into fuzz area and couldn't get this range with this.

If you want to jump directly into fuzz, I think this would be a good option for you, especially with it's price it really worths to try.

You can also use it with bass as I found it more satisfying with it.

Nasty, nasty fuzz

I was looking for a real nasty velcro like spitting fuzz, it does exactly that. The tone knob is actually pretty usable which I did not expect. Relatively low noise level for a fuzz, lower than most faces. Only downside is battery acces but I will be one of the few using a battery in it so I understand the design.

nice fuzz

smooth vintage sound, Fuzz Face-style. pretty dynamic too. full analogue

Real nice.

Great for blues, heavy rock, stoner, whatever. It is quite versatile. It sounds both great with low gain and high. Great for Black Keys stuff. It wont ever leave my board. The metal box is a tank. The knobs are huge and turn easy even with my toes. Not too overly easy, which is great because you can't mess up the sound accidentally. The rusty brown color looks really nice and the design is cool and subtle.

I'm in love

First of all, I've had very little experience with fuzz pedals, so yeah....

that said I really liked demos of this pedal and could easily imagine it being a big part of my sound. And it really is everything I expected, I found an instant inspiration in this pedal, you can't ask for more. Already owning one pedal from this tc electronic line (the prophet delay) i knew it would be sturdy and well made. If you like the sounds you hear in demos of this pedal, don't hesitate, buy it and it will give you much joy.
