Buzz Osborne (aka King Buzzo)

King Buzzo's pedalboard is sparse, but essential. It starts with a Boss TU-3 tuner before going into a Boss ODB-3 Bass OverDrive (which is always on), MXR Dyna Comp, a Jimi Hendrix 70th Anniversary Octavio Octave

Buzz has used Sunn Beta Leads throughout the Melvins career. Buzz has talked about them in multiple Rig Rundowns and you can see one at 8:12 in the following video.

Although linked to backbreaking Les Paul since the '80s, King Buzzo currently tours with a trio of less traditional Electric Guitar Company axes. This all-aluminum, chrome-finished model is slightly heavier than Osborne's Les Pauls

In this photo Buzz can be seen with either a 1990 or 1991 Black Les Paul Custom.

In an interview, Buzz mentions that he used the Buzz Box on Melvins albums Prick and Stoner Witch. He also used it live in 1994 and on a Senile Animal

buzz does not stick with any specific form of the rat, he's been seen using the vintage big boxes, the regular rat 2 boxes, and even the rackmount rat, it doesn't matter which rat you choose for his sound. You definitely don't need a $400 whiteface :)
