I have the opportunity to have a threesome. What should I do?

So im sure the first thing that jumped to your mind when you opened up this thread is that im talking about Blackout effectors Twosome. ?
Im currently looking at the twosome, I love the sound on the Fix'd Fuzz side, but i think the musket side is also really great.

Predicament:

-Get the twosome, sell the my Fuzzsilla and satisfy my Fuzz needs.

or

-Buy the Fix'd fuzz and keep the Fuzzsilla.

or

-buy the fix'd fuzz and sell the fuzzzsilla, and, for the money that I would've spent on the twosome, but another pedal. (maybe a whammy or an Barber LTD?)

AND to make it even harder, Blackout Effectors is bringing out the Fix'd Fuzz Deluxe soon, which is identical to the circuit on the Twosome.

Here's a demo of the Fix'd Fuzz:

I'd love to hear what you guys have to say. I remember seeing a twosome on the forum here somewhere, I think on MikeM's pedalboard.

Cheers ?

Cons.

You can't run them into each other...
They have to be at the same place in the signal chain.

For alota guys this isn't a problem...I'm just not one of them

Pros:

Price.
Space.
Cool graphic.

If you sell the fuzzilla you should probably be oky with not ever having one again....so as long as your sure that you prefer the fix'd fuzz, all is well ?

If you can, get the fuzz you decide on and then first compare it to the fuzzilla and then make up your mind about witch one you should keep or sell.

The Fix'ed Fuzz deluxe just has the internal trimpots replaced with normal pots...once again its up to you if its worth it for you...the price difference between the twosum and the fix'ed fuzz deluxe is probably not going to be much....I'd guess about 80 US? So then its a really good idea to buy the twosum...the musket is a really good fuzz...

Yea,hope I helped man.... Haha

Gosh, I've been thinking about this alot lately. I plugged in my Fuzzsilla yesterday again and I fell in love with it all over again. lol.
I get your point though, I never thought about it that way. Although it did kinda bother me that wouldnt be able to stack the Fixd and musket on the twosome. Im looking for that speaker tearing unstable fuzz tone. aka. Jack white. I think the fixd fuzz will be able to do it quite well.

I have the Twosome, very diggable. The fix'd fuzz is definitely brilliant at the velcro fuzz stuff, but only one of the two switchable fuzz's. the other fuzz is more vintage, more rounded. I'd go for the twosome, the musket is awesome, it has a huuuuuge bass response!

Fix'd Fuzz + vol control can make CRAZY splatty fuzz sounds. I was chatting to Mika about it a couple months ago, thought him of all people - being the fuzzhead he is - would know that, but it seems not many people fiddle with that.

It has to do with impedence I think, but man you can get it almost 8bit if you tweak it right.

Really, the volume and tone controles on your guitar are VITAL when your looking for a texture and just using fuzz in general...with drive pedals aswel,even some mod pedals react well to volumme controle manupulasion....there is a reason that all, as far as I know, guitars have volume controles....

Jack white = boost into starved muff style pedal and amp should be clean, but if you hit real hard you should get some break up, so its not the edge of break up thing,but yea...this is how I get kinda close, also,n play with your fingers man....picks don't cut it,and use the flesh of your fingers,not the nails.....and crank the treble....
