I like Fuzz's that are more clean and musical, where the max is about as much fuzziness as you'd ever use. They seem more dialed in to me. I got to really know fuzz pedals recently by owning the Bonamassa, Jimi, and Eric Johnson. Their gain levels are in that order. The EJ seems too buzzy for me, but it is a good pedal. My favorite is the lower gain Bonamassa, and I also like the Jimi a lot.
