Series: DVD
Author: Clif Taylor
Artist: Various

Fuzz ... the sound that changed the world. The fuzz box, that tiny little box between the electric guitar and the amp, what on earth does it do? Clif Taylor explores this insane industry of noise making, a world popularized by guitar slinging super heroes and garage dwelling electronic geeks all sharing the collective obsession of one day creating that perfect sonic wave of limitless distortion. It's a unique subculture of psychedelic noise freaks and vintage distortion connoisseurs, a world of gear oriented Internet chat rooms and completely ararchistic electronic product conventions. Clif shows us all of it while on the hunt for his own perfect tone. Guitar gods Billy Gibbons, Peter Frampton, Jon Spencer, J. Mascis, Chris Ross of Wolfmother, and other music legeneds weigh in on their favorite circuits. This is a must-see for anyone interested in the nuts, bold, solder, transistors, and true history of rock. 91 minutes.
