Good Distortion/Fuzz at Low Volumes

[joshbaezmusic]

Hey guys,
So I'm looking for a really good fuzz or distortion pedal that will keep its tone/level of distortion even at a low volume. I'm specifically going to be using this for ambient swells with bite. I'm looking at a Musket Fuzz pedal right now.. any other suggestions?

Basically.. What are some awesome distortion or fuzz pedals to use in ambient swells, but don't overpower the sound?

Thanks!

Only you will know what you like but I suggest a combination fuzz and distortion. Switching the two around to see which one you like going into the other.

For me, when I am playing at low volume in my music room I like to stack my Fuzz/Distortion pedal(s) in to a Clean Boost set marginally above unity gain. It just gives the signal a little kick in the butt that makes the Fuzz/Distortion more pleasing.

Don't know about swells but the Pharaoh sounds good at low volumes.

Screwdriver, fuzzhead.

My Analogman Sunface NKT275 red dot fuzz works very well at low volumes.
