In addition to the wah effect not being nearly "throaty" enough (and sounding more like a talk box), Fender really didn't put much effort into the fuzz. I have yet to find an effect that will deliver the sound I'm looking for...it's gonna sound silly, but the theme to Fat Albert has a really gritty, nasty sounding fuzz that keeps a smooth tone about it. The fuzz in the Fuse effects sounds like Link Ray has gotten ahold of my amp with his ball point pen. The decay towards the end of the note falls apart too quickly and too dramatically...if that makes sense...almost as if the signal just gives up and drops off leaving only sonic crumbs.

I don't really want to knock Fender about this, because like I said, I have yet to hear a fuzz effect that truly reproduces a good fuzz. But even in that case, the effect itself could have been stronger, thicker and smoother. The wah and the fuzz effects are without a doubt the weakest horses in the Mustang stable.

HEY HEY HEY .. I agree. WAH and especially the FUZZ effect need some attention. Try strumming HARD w/ the FUZZ on ... I swear my speaker gets completely broken in that instance :wink:

Ok...I officially retract the statement by 50% on the Wah. Just had to figure out how to use it. The touch wah is cool once you get the hang of it. The Fuzz, however, is still "meh".
