I really like the fuzz tone Gary Clark Jr. has in this live video. I'd like to find out what kind of circuit it is!

Thoughts?

I can't see the video, don't now why, but probably it is an Octafuzz.

This is supposed to be Gary Clark's pedalboard, just for reference:

He's been known to use the Octafuzz and Astrotone. I also am pretty sure I've seen something where he used a fuzz face. I'd say in that vid it's almost definitely the octafuzz based on the envelope of the note.

Keep in mind a big part of it is going to be running that Casino through the fuzz. You aren't going to get the same thing happening if you're using a strat through any of those circuits, for instance.

If you have not seen Gary Clark Jr. on Austin City Limits, you should. Great show.. the guy is an animal.
