Best fuzz pedal
The very vintage tone very similar to fuzz face which the george harrison used on his most solos
Artist usage
Add artist
On some of the solos, I experimented with the Mooer pedals, particularly one called Grey Faze Fuzz, which is this really unique, psychedelic, Yardbirds-fuzz kind of sound you can hear throughout the record. With that pedal, I used a Japan-made ’62-reissue Strat that Phil gave me.
