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.

I'd think the JCM2000 would be able to pull that kind of tone off without a stompbox.

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.

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.

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.

Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother uses a Boss MT-2 Metalzone and that is pretty close to the tone I am looking for. I think I will give one a run.

Re: What is the best fuzz for a Marshall
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:
Maybe one of these?....

I might be forced to buy that. Norman Greenbaum is from my hometown. My Uncle and I were talking about him just the other day.

EHX Satisfaction has that classic rock buzz. Not a lot of dough, either.

Sunface is the ruler of all fuzz. If fuzzes were in lord of the rings, it would be the one that the books were all about.
