Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler Review - Bass Musician Magazine, The Face of Bass

bassmusicianmagazine.com

The Dr Scientist Frazz Dazzler delivers fuzz with versatility, catering to both active and passive basses. It features intuitive controls, including a mix knob that retains low-end integrity and a sizzle knob for tonal adjustment. The two-stage gain offers both overdrive and a gated fuzz, with an expression jack for dynamic control. While the pedal excels in versatility and sound quality, the high gain on the gated fuzz stage may require careful volume adjustment. Overall, it's a robust choice for bassists seeking a dynamic fuzz experience.

The Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler Fuzz is a standout in a sea of clones, offering a unique sonic experience with its innovative design. The 3-band EQ and Mix knob give players precise tone-shaping options, while the Volts control adds intriguing gated fuzz effects. The dual gain modes deliver an impressive range of distortion, making it versatile for both guitarists and bassists. However, the pedal's complexity might overwhelm beginners, and its myriad features could require a bit of a learning curve. Overall, it's a creative tool for those seeking to push fuzz boundaries.

Mentioned and pictured in this August 24, 2011 interview with Kit Rae.

KR: Do you combine the Big Muff with other pedals live?

JM: I combine it with some other things sometimes. I usually have the Big Muff on, even if there is another fuzz on. Like a Super Fuzz (a clone made by MC FX in Australia) and the Big Muff. I have been using sometimes this (Dr Scientist) Frazz Dazzler, have you tried it? Yeah, with the Big Muff, or you know, like a Range Master with the Big Muff (J uses the Sun Lion - a Range Master treble booster clone comboed with a Sunface fuzz, built by [Analogman]http://www.analogman.com/). Many times when you hear an over the top solo tone in J's live shows, he is running the Big Muff with another fuzz pedal).

Shown above: J knows his fuzz. Here is what is on his 2011 pedal board, left to right: Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler, Z. Vex Double Rock (custom Box of Rock combo), Analogman Sunlion (Range Master/Sunface combo), and the MC-FX Super Fuzz clone. The three on the left show J's preferred settings. J keeps the Super Fuzz knobs set around 11:00.
