So I'm looking at getting a new fuzz pedal, what would you suggest?
I play primarily blues, but I like throwing some fuzz in the mix as well.

Here's some I've been looking at:
http://proguitarshop.com/electro-harmon ... ff-pi.html
http://proguitarshop.com/flickinger-angry-sparrow.html
http://proguitarshop.com/jhs-mini-foot-fuzz.html
http://proguitarshop.com/mojo-hand-fx-one-ton-bee.html
http://proguitarshop.com/blackout-effec ... al-v2.html


My main rigs will be:

Heavily modded Fender Standard MIM Telecaster
Blackout Effectors Mantra Overdrive
MXR Analog Delay
Fuzz
Blackstar HT-40

Daddy Mojo Stove Pipe cigar box guitar
DigiTech Whammy
Fuzz
Vox Pathfinder / cheap tube amp

^^^^^Like He Said!!!^^^^I've had the same Big Muff Pi since I bought it used in 1971-2 they are great pedals and you can dial i just about any amount of distortion,fuzz or clean boost that you want and the same goes for sustain.The Way Huge Green Rhino Overdrive is also a cool and versatile pedal with a very wide range of overdrive,distortion,boost etc. I also use a Marshall Guv'nor and it's like having a master volume Plexi in a pedal-especially if you buy the original British made ones in the square black metal box.I bought a near mint used one for only $60 and it was worth way more than that for the wonderful blues and Hendrix/Clapton like distortion and overdrive you can get from it.Anyway that's 3 of what I consider to be la creme de la creme of distortion/fuzz/overdrive pedals for blues and 60s and 70s rock-to my ears anyway.

Edit: Oh gee, I didn't even notice you had this in your list. Yeah, the One Ton Bee is nice.

I have a Big Muff Pi and a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzzface, and they are both great. They have somewhat different flavors of fuzz. The Fuzzface is crunchier, the BMP has that violinlike fuzz and a little more sustain. Also, the Fuzzface is batter-powered only.

Thanks for the input guys! Sounds like the Big Muff is the way to go. I'm still not 100% sure though, I might spend a little more then I want too and buy an SM Fuzz.
Thanks again, I'll definitely keep the Big Muff in mind!

How about a Devi Ever Torn's Peaker? Billy Gibbons has used them in his rig.
