I want to throw people off.
I want to make a really heavy record: evil, evil space rock.
Put a little Satan in space and you got the sound."In 2013, Segall started a new outfit called Fuzz, releasing three 7" singles.
A full-length album Fuzz was recorded in May and came out on October 1, 2013 on In The Red Records.

Segall has stated in interviews that his favorite band of all time is Hawkwind.
A big influence on Ty Segall's early career is glam rock acts such as David Bowie and Marc Bolan as well as heavy rock and punk bands such as Black Sabbath, KISS, The Stooges, and Black Flag (especially in Ty Segall Band).
However, over time Segall's output has gotten mellower on albums such as Goodbye Bread and Sleeper, taking cues from the Neil Young, The Byrds, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, The Beatles (even being compared to John Lennon vocally on some of his albums), and early T.Rex (when they were known as Tyrannosaurus Rex) and Grateful Dead.
A big source of his inspiration also comes from the San Francisco garage and indie rock scenes, from which he has named bands such as Thee Oh Sees (being personal friends with frontman John Dwyer), Sic Alps, and White Fence (both of whom he has collaborated with) as inspirations.Ty Segall has mainly used Fender Guitars going into Fender Amps.
Guitars he has used prominently include a sunburst Fender Jaguar and a seafoam green Fender Mustang.
His main and sometimes only pedal is a Death By Audio Fuzz War pedal.
Death By Audio actually manufactured a signature reverb pedal inspired by him, the Death by Audio Sunshine Reverberation Pedal, in 2013.
Only 100 were manufactured.
