Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz

this is good, and its cheap.
it sounds more high frquency than a big muff but it does sound good.

ive ABd it agaisnt my big muff and its still sounds good. i know its not a clone of that - i dont own a boss fz
not the same sound, but thats fine, desirable even . it can achieve a similar sound,
not quite so much compression or "sustain" as the big muff but a very good sound can be achieved,

it has 2 fuzz modes, one is mid heavy, other is with the mids cut out. theyre both fine. mid scoop is probably what most people will enjoy.
it has high and low eq dials.

it has a 3rd "volume boost" mode, which is useful, and a gain dial for that, as well as a standard volume dial for the fuzz channel overall.

durability is fine, the dials are fine,
ive boughat few of these behringer pedals out of curiosity, and theyre good, its not deniable.
some may not sound quite as "good" or the same as more expensive pedals, but it doesnt matter, its just music and they sound good enough. i use them on guitar or with my synths.

i do want to add tho that i think distortion has always been and still is behringers weakest effect. just my opinion. a bit too "digital"
its like their sound designers prefer a higher frequency "crisp sounding " timbe as standard, when actually - loud music needs less high frequencies to sound clear.

anyway if you want to start playing some crazy heavy guitar - this sf300 will be fine. i doubt you will ever want to sell it even if you "upgrade"
thanks to behringer for this its a decent product. i cant say anything negative about it. if it was 40 pounds it would still be good.

secret mode : its awkward to do - but it is possible to keep the switch between the fuzz 1 and fuzz 2 settings, for a different effect, (but im not advodcating people to try that incase it causes damage to the switch)

I've been holding off on buying a distortion pedal for way too long and finally getting the behringer sf300 super fuzz made that painfully clear -- all in all it's an extremely fun, well made and good sounding pedal for any amateur/hobby guitarist looking to spruce up their tone and add more sonic variety to their playing. If you already have a built in distortion in your amp, you may not benefit greatly from this pedal, but if you only have a clean amp (like I do), this will give you enough kick and variety to play anything from metal to psychadelic/stoner metal tracks. Lots of fun, heaps of different sounds possible, maybe not the best at rendering melodies as the mix tends to get muddy but that's exactly what I was looking for in a pedal. Bonus points: it's 25 bucks. The next best option, which is barely different from this option, is twice that price. Don't hesitate, go fuzz.

This pedal is legendary, you get 2 drastically different fuzz sounds in a small box.
I use this for guitar but I also run tape loops through it for ambient stuff and it handles it all. With low gain it adds a warm fuzz but with high gain it is a beast! I pair it with the Nether Octaver for some really low fuzz lines
The colour of the pedal is a nice rusted orange making it stand out on the board too
Handling 5/5 because it works intuitively
Features 5/5 because of the eq and 2 fuzz options
Sound 5/5 you could probably put this in a fancy metal case and convince them its a rare boutique fuzz
Quality 4/5 it is plastic but it seems very durable - just don't jump on the thing

For the price I recommend buying a few of these, one for your own board and then the rest to give to your friends when they hear how amazing this pedal is!

Right now Behringer is known for its affordable pedals that sound like other, famous and often expensive and/or discontinued pedals. The Super Fuzz is Behringers response to the suddenly super popular Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, which can be found in the used market for several hundred dollars or euros. The SF300, despite being incredibly cheap, gets incredibly close to the FZ-2 in all of its 3 modes. So if you like the FZ-2, chances are you will also like the SF300.
But this type of fuzz is not for everyone: it's *not* Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones. This is an insane, extreme, heavy fuzz that is better suited for more aggressive music such as stoner metal, just like the FZ-2 that inspired it and that was made into a modern classic by bands like Electric Wizard and Monolord.
The only downsides are that the pedal case is plastic (somewhat heavy duty, but plastic nonetheless) and that is not true bypass.
As an FZ-2 alternative it performs great, and at this price it's a steal. Like I said, this is a stoner metal fuzz, and if that's what you're into then get one before they run out.
