Legendary guitar effects: Ibanez Standard Fuzz

Posted 2007-09-26 in Effects by Johann.

The Ibanez Standard Fuzz, pictured here with the Univox Super-Fuzz, is another one of those crazy 70’s fuzzes.

Its octave is very noticeable. Not a clean octave-up though – a fuzzy one.

“Tone Change”!

Just like the Superfuzz, the Standard Fuzz also offers two tone settings. One with a ton of mids that sounds very rich and another one that is mostly bass and treble.

• Ibanez Standard Fuzz (MP3, 3.8 MB)
• Ibanez Standard Fuzz (Ogg Vorbis, 2.7 MB)

The sample starts with a clean sound, then the Standard Fuzz is switched on with the mid-heavy sound in use. Later, the no-mids mode is on and pickups are changed. The guitar is an Ibanez 2027XVV.
