Right now the Russian muff is currently my main dirt and will probably stay so for some time to come. Other than that, my favorite fuzz tones have come from the voodoo labs superfuzz, the Blackout Effectors Fix'd Fuzz, and the Eric Johnson Fuzz Face.
I'm planning for my board to have either a merkin or a fix'd fuzz, a BAT Black Forest OD and probably some other dirt box as well.

I've learned over the past year that Tonebenders are my preferred fuzz. My new RRRSBoxes MKIII clone is my favorite, So versatile.



Next favorite is my old, ugly Demarco Electronics MKII clone. Lots of zippery sag to it.

Then the Barbara Trifecta and Skreddy Supa Tone. The Supa Tone only has a small range of useful settings for guitar, but that sweet spot is great.

I love a particular setting on the Scratchy Snatch side of my Monsterpiece 2-headed Monster. The notes articulate well with a perfect fuzz underneath that sustains as the note begins to decay.

The Catalinbread Perseus has some great heavy tones with one and two octaves down. Combining that with various other effects like subtle fast vibe, and deep reverb brings heavy doominess.

Loved the Lunar Module, as it goes from great distortion to sweet fuzz tones. Recently sold it because I have all these other fuzzes I'm using more, and was able to get a good price for it on Ebay. Great pedal.

TOSS-UP between my 3 Big Muffs: vintage Deluxe Big Muff Pi (reverse graphic with series switch), NYC RI with Ronsound Hairpie Classic mod, or Tone Wicker

I don't really categorize the following as 'fuzz' pedals, but if they were they'd be runners-up: EHX Hot Tubes (both reissue and original), EHX Tube Zipper, EHX vintage Graphic Fuzz...


And though he isn't a pedal, he is the King of Fuzziness!!!!
