i am talking gritty nasty fuzz. Like bees in a tin can fuzz. A lot of low end grind would be nice.

Re: What is the best fuzz for a Marshall
ramsheads are great. biting but with a tone control.
The other one thats good and biting and shapeable is the voodoo labs superfuzz. It has some rat like tendencies which is always a pretty cool thing with a marshall."Technique is really the elimination of the unneccessary ... it is a constant effort to avoid any personal impediment or obstacle to acheive the smooth flow of energy and intent"

I always wanted to try Mahoney pedals, they sound pretty nasty in clips

Re: What is the best fuzz for a Marshall
I've always associated the Maestro, Bosstone and Fuzz-Rite with the nasty 60's fuzz tones. However, they are anything but heavy in low end grind. I have a few clones (Maestro and Fuzz-Rite) and I was honestly surprised how bright they are the first time I fired them up. I think the aforementioned Voodoo Lab as well as the Analogman Peppermint Fuzz get those types of tones but with moder appointments that allow them to integrate with a modern rig better.
That being said, a Fuzz Face and a Marshall is so classic... Silicon for the extra nastiness, bass and saturation. On the other end of the tonal spectrum (and really embodying the low end grind) are Russian Muffs and their brethren. Pharaoh, Hoof, Supercollider, Swollen Pickle , etc. I think those are way too smooth for what you are looking for though.

Re: What is the best fuzz for a Marshall
Get an Eric Johnson Fuzz Face. Out of the ones I have, such as the Jimi, Bonamassa, and Eric Johnson, the EJ may be the closest to what you're looking for. Although, the Jimi or mini Jimi would be a good choice as well.Originally posted by Boogie BillI've got 60 guitars...but 49 trumpets is just...INSANITY! WTF!

Re: What is the best fuzz for a Marshall
If your after nasty azz stanky danky fuzz you can always find an old DOD FX52. Its not a soft dynamic fuzz like a fuzz face.... its closer to a big muff but less refined."It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott

you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip Glitter

The germanium fuzz face just works well with Marshall amps.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

but i'd still go for a voodoo. In reality it is a jordan bosstone which is one of the nastiest, most broken sounding fuzzes ever, but tweaked to realize the circuit's full potential to allow you to go from thin and nasty to fat and meaty.
Here is the most famous example of a bosstone:
