Fuzz Review: Zvex Woolly Mammoth

Stashed under: Reviews - Fuzz — grygrx @ 12:45 pm

zvexConclusion:

The Woolly Mammoth is a beast to be sure. This is not a pedal for the mousey bass player who wants to hide behind the lead-singer and be unnoticed. This sucker screams look-at-me pretty much every time you click it on. It’s one of those pedals that I find to be very very sonically recognizable which limits it’s usability for me. It’s a not a love/hate thing with this pedal and me. It’s more of a ‘where can I actually use this’ problem. Iconic for a reason, this pedal has a voice that is all it’s own.

As always, if you have any questions, leave a comment or let me know

Note: A rating of 5 = acceptable and should considered a ‘good’ basic score

  1. Thanks for this unbiased review.

    It gets frustrating viewing the forums to see this pedal praised and bashed like no other, so again, thanks for the honest look.

    O as an FYI, I have one marked 04 and chipping of paint is not an issue.

  2. The paint date on mine is 11/99 and a build date of 1/26/00. No paint chipping although I’ve only used it a handful of times since I got it in 2000.
