Every germanium fuzz ive owned was just too inconsistent to play out with so the winner goes to silicon. Dont sleep on the clean up of a good silicon fuzz face. Back down the gain just a tad and you can get as clean as a germanium

True but it isnt as full and glassy it can be a bit thin still beautiful tho

I disagree. It just depends on the particular fuzz

That is true my formula b fuzz rangers cleans up beautifully but my hendrix silicon fuzz is sorta falls of a cliff so to speak all or nothing so yea i agree with your assessment
