Don't get me wrong - I've been able to get some crazy doom sounds with just the axe, but there's still something special about running a dedicated fuzz pedal. Yes, that's exactly what I'm using it for - think Russian Circles / Deafheaven type heavy (Mike Sullivan also uses the Fuzz War). I'd like to keep the I/O level where it's at since it sounds good when the fuzz is off (I made a previous thread on I/O level and how it sounded different to me at certain numbers - don't make fun of me please!) Lowering the level to 9 o'clock on the fuzz war fixes this, but the pedal itself reacts differently at a lower volume setting. It doesn't sound bad per say, but I'm worried about messing something up. If I keep the volume at noon on the fuzz war, the input clip lights are consistently red. I just picked up a Death By Audio Fuzz War (sounds awesome) and I'm running it into the front of my axe fx II XL. It's also worth mentioning that the pedal sounds pretty crummy with the axe vs the real life deluxe reverb. In fact, the output cuts when it's engaged. The fuzz war volume control does nothing at all. The Fuzz war has tons of boost on tap when running into the Actual amp while going into the front of the axe (using deluxe verb vibrato amp), there's virtually no boost at all. So I did a side by side comparison of my Deluxe Reverb Reissue against the Axe + Matrix gt1000 - both going through my Mesa Recto 2x12 cabinet.
