Discomfort Designs The Big Mistake Fuzz

You know who you are. You get a new fuzz pedal, turn the fuzz up all the way, set the tone, and never touch the knobs again. If you fall squarely into this camp, then you’ll love today’s pedal, The Big Mistake Fuzz from our friends at Discomfort Designs. There’s even less to do with this one, though, as it features one lone knob and nothing else, letting you produce blistering fuzz tones instantly…

The Big Mistake is a vintage-voiced, 4-transistor fuzz effect, whose fuzz heritage includes the classic Ace Tone FM-3 Fuzzmaster and the Univox Superfuzz. Stripped down to the bare basics, it gives strong analog octave up with a neck pickup on higher frets. And with just the Volume knob to control, all you need to think about is the riffs!

We love simple, incredible pedals like The Big Mistake here at Pedal of the Day, and this one may just be the king of the one-knobers. Instant fuzz gratification is on tap, and all you have to is balance the output to get your amps and eardrums crushed. The lineup from Discomfort Designs has always impressed us, with each new effect so different from anything we’ve heard before – The Big Mistake keeps that tradition in tact, and is just a blast to play. Be sure to check out the Discomfort website, and if you’ve got a couple minute, go hear this beast in action in our demo video below – cheers!
