It's 2010, the year of the tiger on the Chinese calendar. Well here in the guitar community of 
the webbernetz the guys over at SixStringBliss have declared 2010 the year of the fuzz. With that declaration they also announced an album to celebrate the fuzz. For those not in the know, the SixStringBliss albums are all listener and forum member contributed material. This is gonna be cool.
With the announcement of this Fuzz album there was some debate as to what constituted fuzz. How did it differs from overdrive or distortion. Well it is distortion but it has a life all it's own. To help clarify this somewhat fuzzy situation I have found some great content to help us understand the fuzz.

Great article, Scott!
I especially liked the one at FuzzEffect.com. Great background infos. Alsi the Wikipedia infos on the diff. between Overdruve, Distortion and Fuzz is very interesting.

Nice article. I'm hoping to have a fuzzbox built in time to record a contribution for Bliss V and this has been a helpful jumping off point. Thanks.
