What are the two greatest effects ever created? If you answered fuzz and reverb, then congratulations on being correct, and having excellent taste! Join us as we dive into the sounds that can be achieved when these two heavyweights collide!

0:00 - 0:10 Naked.

Before we start spicing up our sound with Ghost Ridge and Frybread Fuzz, let’s take a quick listen to the bypass signal for reference. We will be using the same room setting for all segments of today’s demo but varying some parameters on Frybread Fuzz to achieve different sounds.

0:11 - 0:27 Your guitar gets its own room.

With Ghost Ridge engaged we get a realistic room style reverb that adds a natural sounding decay to our playing. This setting sometimes gets overshadowed by the expansive hall and plate settings available with Ghost Ridge, but if you want an organic sounding reverb that won’t get in the way of your playing then the room is where it’s at.

0:28 - 0:53 Thickness with the quickness.

Now let’s add some beef with a little help from Frybread Fuzz. We are instantly in a completely different tonal space, with a massive bump in low-end and gain but also a pleasant mid-forward characteristic that sounds classic and helps you from getting lost in a mix.

0:54 - 1:08 A quick check on the bypass signal.

Here is another short example of our bypass signal before we move onto more reverb and fuzz sounds. In this example I’ll be playing a bluesy chord progression with some hard stops to let the reverb trail shine through.

1:09 - 1:38 Subtle and sweet reverb.

Sometimes you want a reverb to add just the perfect amount of subtle atmosphere, and that’s just what Ghost Ridge’s room setting provides. It’s one of those sounds that’s so pleasing to the ear it can very easily become a “leave on” effect. We warned you.

1:39 - 2:19 Touch sensitive fuzz.

Now that we have a beautiful reverb sound, let’s add some dynamic fuzz! Dynamic Fuzz you say? Yes! In its low gain settings Frybread Fuzz delivers gorgeous low gain drive sounds! It responds to subtle changes in your pick attack to give you a low noise and expressive fuzz unlike any other you’ve played.

2:20 - 2:30 Back to bypass.

Let’s take one last look at our bypass tone before going into our last example of fuzz and reverb together.

2:31 - 2:47 Soften the edges.

In this section we are using Ghost Ridge to soften the edges of a jagged chord progression. This can help to make the guitar sound more natural, like it’s interacting with a larger recording space.

2:48 - 3:28 That bread will go to your head.

We’ve heard it clean, now let’s hit it with Frybread Fuzz! This setting gives us a huge, pushed amp sound with just a hint of gnarly fuzz. You get harmonically rich breakup while maintaining excellent clarity for complex chording and individual note articulation. This pairs beautifully with the room sound we already dialed in to make a versatile and impactful tone that is only limited by your imagination.

Let’s make some noise!

Now that we’ve explored the possible, let’s go and create the impossible. Visit here for Frybread Fuzz and here for Ghost Ridge.
