Rig Rundown: Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

The 20-year-old blues phenom shares his straight-ahead approach to fiery blues-rock tones.

“Kingfish” uses a minimal pedalboard. His guitar runs from a Sennheiser Evolution G3 Wireless to a Dunlop Mini Crybaby, an MXR Sugar Drive, and a Way Huge Aqua-Puss Analog Delay. An MXR Iso-Brick supplies the juice. Kingfish also uses a Snark clip-on tuner, cables by Pig Hog, and Dunlop Tortex heavy picks.

Dimensional, thick variations on the silicon Fuzz Face voice. Surprisingly responsive to dynamics at most tube amp’s natural clean/dirty divide. Bass control lends range.

Thins out considerably at lower amp volumes.

Compared to the dynamic germanium Fuzz Face, silicon versions sometimes come off as brutish.

The McGregor Classic Fuzz, however, offers ample reminders about the many ways silicon Fuzz Faces can be beastly, sensitive, and sound supreme.
