    Deff something from Black Arts Toneworks (already have a Pharaoh), or a Vick Audio something (great prices), or maybe a Fuzz Head, or Peppermint Fuzz, or La Machine or Astro Tone or Alien Twister Fuzz.
    La Machine is on my short list.

    Isn't it a Tone Machine clone?

          I've liked what I've read and heard about hr Pharaoh so it would probably be my first choice as well. I haven't seen one used yet - bad for me, but should be a good sign. I don't know which version of it I would go for, I'm not much of a tweaker but different good sounds are always nice.

            No. I watched an Andertons video on them and they seemed pretty groovy. I had actually forgotten about them until just now.

              If I was going to get any fuzz box, it would be an original Maestro from the '60's. After that, I'd like an EHX Graphic Fuzz.

                How about a Burns Buzzaround clone or an Ampeg Scrambler?

                  Not a huge fuzz fan, but I am still looking for one that would fit with my playing style. The main contenders are clones of the Tone Bender MKI, Ampeg Scrambler, and Univox Super Fuzz.

                    My fender blender is "similar" to a scrambler.

                    The thing that I don't like about it is unless you have the boost engaged its super muddy.

                      Fuzz is awesome, man. Once you find the one or twelve that fit you, you'll be in bliss.

                        The graphic fuzz is actually pretty sweet. There's plenty of good tones in it. Its like a big muff with an intense eq section.

                          I'm on my way there.

                          I played a skinpimp buzzaround a few years ago that happened to come through Guitar Center and it was incredible. Slightly muff-esque but not really. It was like a nice cross between a muff and a bender but with some of the dynamics of a fuzz face.

                            Nice.

                            There was a store up in Gloucester that had a real civil war era big muff a few years ago. I was broke so I didn't buy it, but it was awesome. I hate trying stuff out when I'm broke.

                              Yep. I have played it before, which is how I formed my desire for one. I just don't generally make much use of pedals. Even when I do go ahead and bite the bullet and get them, they usually get toyed with for a while, then left to sit for years, after which I finally sell them in as-new condition.

                              I have an original '70's Big Muff, and to my ear, it's really more of a sustain effect than a fuzz effect. It's not that it isn't fuzzy – just that the most prominent effect it creates is a fluidity to a series of notes. The Graphic Fuzz seems to inherently be more of a straight-out fuzz pedal to me...however, the great thing about it is how extremely tunable the effect is. I don't know of another fuzz that is so finely tunable/versatile. Plus, you can turn off the fuzz tone, and just use it as an e.q. pedal. It's a great pedal.

                                It also works as an awesome clean boost.
