Without going down the rabbit hole trying Fuzz, Fuzz and more Fuzz. What’s your favourite Fuzz?
Just reviewing some YouTube videos, I like Love face by Hwimori, Fjord Berserk II and love the tone of Dominion Fuzz for example.

I had one for a bit when I was introducing myself to fuzz and I didn't know what I had. Just this week I was listening to some clips of myself using that pedal and holy shit it is wicked sounding. I miss it immensely now.

I've been using a custom one-off for the last year or so which is fuzz face based with a green ringer on the front end of it along with some other tricks (bias and tone knobs, switch to engage another transiter)

I've tried a few muffs, they sound wicked by themselves but disappear in the mix so I gave up with them. In hindsight Id probably be fine boosting the mids before or after it to not get so lost, but oh well, I like my fuzz face great these days

All of them.

I can't commit to just one, but currently these:

Tone Bender - Thorpy FX Boneyard
Fuzz Face - Analogman Sunlion
Octave Fuzz - Dunlop Hendrix Octavio (white cheese wedge)
Big Muff - EQD Hoof Reaper
Random - DOD Carcosa
But using this format:

Tone Bender - Boss/Sola TB-2W
Fuzz Face - white dot NKT 275 Analogman Sun Lion
Octave Fuzz - nah, just give me a RAT + octave like the EQD Life Pedal
Big Muff - EQD Hizumitas/Basic Audio TriRam/JPTR Warlow
Random - Basically every other fuzz pedal I've ever played because I am sick and I can't get enough

I've been out of the electric game for a while, but I highly recommend people check out the stuff from Basic Audio. I spent a lot of time chasing Hendrix/Trower tones and their Gypsy Fuzz really hit the spot. At the time, I was playing a strat through a 100w Marshall Vintage Modern. I used to goose the Gypsy with a Basic Audio Futureman and holy MF it sounded good. The Scarab Deluxe from BA also has a ton of great sounds in it.

I also have a great new Muff style from DAM-its surprisingly dynamic and has a great tone sweep:
