I use my Rufus Fuzz for a few songs at Gigs, but have had to sacrifice using my Wireless (Smooth Hound) because the wireless doesn't like the Fuzz Circuit, so probably won't like any regular Fuzz Circuit.
There's nowt wrong with the Wireless, it's just the way it is. I've been over it on here dozens of times, so let's stick to the title subject.
So, the only other option is to ditch the Rufus for Live shows and get some creatively engineered Fuzziness with a Wireless loving Circuit.
I had a quick neb and discovered this rather tasty piece of trickery.
The Catalinbread Katzenkonig Sounds awesome, but does it have a Fuzz Circuit or just a normal Distortion Circuit?
Any more Fuzzy Non-Fuzz pedals you know of and can recommend?
Thanks.

Fuzz dogs does a clone kit for about £50 with enclosure if you fancy a DIY - I'm tempted!
It'd be ideal to try out in the shop with my wireless, but no one local stocks this pedal. I'm not much of a DIY'er though re the Fuzz dogs, but thanks for the heads up @TTBZ

It can do fairly smooth overdrive-ish sounds, and raucous fuzz, all depending on where you set the knobs.
Or an FZ-3 if you want a more traditional fuzz sound.
I tried the FZ-5 but didn't like it, it didn't sound quite 'right' somehow. (Yes, I know it's digital.)

Been loving mine since I got it
I can't recall if I've messed around with that, I'd deffo forgotten that it had the function. I'll have a play.although I expect if I have to increase the "cable length" to 30 ft, it may have a knock on effect to the other pedals, but we'll see.
If you get a chance at some point, can you give it a quick try with your smooth hound on the "cable tone off" setting. Ta Muchly!
@ICBM Those Boss ones are pure Fuzz filth, in a good way if it's that filthy Fuzz tone one is after A bit too much for me though.
The only reason I would expect to have an issue with wireless and fuzz is because some old school fuzz pedals don't like buffers. Beyond that I wouldn't expect any problems.
Pretty much that.
Why people still tolerate fuzz pedals that don’t work with buffers, wirelesses, other pedals or normal power supplies, when there are lots of good modern fuzzes which don’t have a problem with them (not just Boss ones ), I really don’t know.
