The Elements isn't all together a fuzz...but it can get there....and if I were playing in that scene that would be the effect I'd be going for.

Dr Scientist The Elements

You can scroll down the main page to the Dr Scientist forum and there is even a thread called The Elements on bass or something very close to that.
