My friend and bandmate gift me this pedal, when he was my age (14 years) played in BA, Argentina. Think about he gift me a important part of it makes me happy
If you want an inexpensive pedal that sounds like the original Univox Super Fuzz (which was also branded as Shin-ei, Honey, Companion and few other names back in the 1960s-70s) check out the Joyo Voodoo Octave (very similar price to the Behringer). It sounds identical to that silver fuzz on the right here. I like the Behringer pedal (I certainly liked the price), and you can actually jam the switch between Mode 1 & Mode 2 to have both fuzz modes at the same time, which is rather neat -- but I reckon the Joyo one nails the original sound better -- but for stoner and doom, you're better off with the Boss or Behringer. The original Super Fuzz was more trebly and out there. But thanks for this video, because you've confirmed what I already suspected. And now I understand where everything sits. That Behringer is definitely a Boss clone, not based on the original Super Fuzz.
There be GODZILLA DNA in that there Hyper Fuzz! Even through the RUclips algorithm on a pentode valve amp and heavily modded Sansui SP200 from 1968. The differences are clear & distinct. For me the Boss is the winner. Just seems more evolved in terms of sitting in a mix. Controlled chaos= Usable
Great demo! All three of them sound fantastic. The SF300 is such amazing value for money. Super picky (superfuzzy?) comment: the "Exp" on the Analog Fox pedal is probably short for "Expander" (rather than "Expression"), which was one of the two knobs on the original Superfuzz. (Where the hell Shin-Ei got the idea from to call the controls "Expander" and "Balance" I have no idea :P )
I have an Analog Fox Super Fuzz as well; great sounding Super Fuzz clone. I also own the Behringer Superfuzz, and have been comparing the two pedals to the JHS Supreme, which is a clone of the Univox Superfuzz; all three sound slightly different, but are all usable and sound great.
Wow, do you have the JH_S Supreme? I would love to compare one with my other Super Fuzz pedal. Based on the videos on youtube the Supreme seems to be a bit different from the others, especially in the "mid-scooped" range of sounds. How is your experience so far? Does it worth the extra money compared to a FS300?
@@WeAsACompany the Supreme does have a bit more of a mid-focused sound compared to the Analog Fox and Behringer Superfuzz pedlas; it's also a bit less "compressed" sounding than the other two. The JHS mode button adds a nice DB and additional mid-boost as well. It's a great sounding Super Fuzz pedal.
@@brandxsavior I've just ordered a JHS Bender from the same series and can't wait to get it. Joyo do a very inexpensive fuzz called a Voodoo Octave. I still have my original Shin-ei (which is exactly the same as the Univox, just rebranded, but it died a few years ago) and the Voodoo Octave sounds identical to it. From what I've heard of the JHS Supreme, it sounds brilliant, and very familiar. Be interested in your thoughts if you were to try out a Joyo Voodoo Octave. As you say, that Japanese octave fuzz is a lot less "compressed". That's an understatement -- it's wild!
@@NewFalconerRecords I've never tried the JoYo pedal so I can't compare it to the others. Compared to my Fuzzlord FU-2, the Supreme isn't as "aggressive", but still in the same ballpark stylistically (the FU-2 being another octave fuzz based on a similar design).
@@brandxsavior I've watched a couple of shootouts with the FU-2 and to my ears it sounds like the real deal -- much closer to the Shin-ei/Univox than the Boss and Behringer, with a bit of extra spice as well. I notice though, that it only has the bass cut mode, not the choice of tones like the others. I know I keep going on about the Joyo, but it's just so damn cheap ($65 Australian which is less than fifty U$ and about 30 British Pounds), it's got a good metal casing, a sickening shade of green and, for some reason, the drawing of goat's head on it -- I couldn't resist, and I'm glad I didn't. It's feral!
Unfortunately I've never had a chance to check the Fuzz Factory. I don't think the Fuzz Factory is based on a Super Fuzz circuit. This said, the SF300 is the best deal in town if you're looking for a super-fuzz-style pedal.
The Fuzz Factory is based on the Fuzz Face, so at its core it's a pretty different style of fuzz from the SF300, which is a Superfuzz descendant. The Fuzz Factory is very versatile, with a lot of controls that can give you a lot of different fuzz sounds (some really crazy), but some people find it tricky to dial in a useful sound on it. The SF300 on the other hand just has two basic sounds which both (in my opinion) sound great and can just be adjusted with respect to the EQ.
Hi guys! You know the Super Fuzz is a must-have for doom and stoner right? Which is your favorite?
Good demo. I 'm happy with my behringer sf300 fuzz👍
Nice demo! Love my FZ-2, but it's hard playing anything not as heavy as Eletric Wizard when it's on! LOL
I see what you say. I could play EW all day long! ;)

I’m sold on the Behringer!!!

OOF! That was awesome.
I put a CryBaby after my SF600 for some Jesus and Mary Chain approximations

Thx a lot for your comment. We've to check this Joyo, seems to be a great pedal.
@@WeAsACompany It'll be very familar to you. It sounds so much like that Russian one. Which I absolutely LOVE, by the way. It is so cool.
That's not a super fuzz clone but a Foxx Tone Machine clone with a screwup on the polarity of a cap in the pedal.
@@Nightingale1887 Are you talking about the Voodoo Octave?
@@NewFalconerRecords yes

Thx a lot man. I know, I noticed the mistake when the video was already up. It was too late, unfortunately. ;)
That Super Fuzz...makes me quiver in fear.

Hi, is the sf300 a good alternative to the zvex fuzz factory? Thanks

Okay thank you!
Do you know if the zvex mastotron is like the fuzz factory in sound?
@@michael_staples757 Sorry, I'm not familiar with Zvex pedals.

I think they're all awesome. But I'm picking the Fz2 anyways
After many demos, FZ-2 is still one of our favorite Super Fuzz pedals.
how much the russian one cost?
It’s not a copy if the eq is different
Well, they're very similar, you can make them sound pretty identical.
Sf300 +1
Fuc k! el behringer smash!
