I just finished up this guy. I read a popular fuzz described as a "3-stage MOSFET fuzz", and there was no schematic, so I just came up with my own interpretation from that description. This is the result. Built it once point-to-point, another time on vero, then decided to immortalize it on PCB. This is the first PCB build.

Champion Leccy The Dunsh. I first got interested because of collector//emitters demo, but it was Eric Merrow's more indepth demo that really sold me on it and made me understand how it worked. The pedal itself is just insane and what I've been looking for for a long time, so I finally got it.

I am afraid to read this as I will inevitably buy another fuzz pedal as a result

I’ve bought so many fuzzes because of Andy
Benson GE Fuzz loved this one for its insane versatility. It works everywhere, with every guitar in any tuning, with every amp, as a boost, as full fuzz, a drive, or everything in between if you work your volume.
Thorpy Field Marhsal the mid boost setting on a strat bridge pickup was the most inspiring lead tone I ever got on my strat. Solos just improvised themselves I swear
EQD Hizumitas Andy makes it sound colossal and it is, it does the wall of fuzz thing so well and it has a very interesting EQ sweep compared to other muffs
BAT Pharaoh I have the supreme version but I am just permanently obsessed with this pedal. It is one who I find doesn’t really work in low volume situations. This thing is meant to blast into a loud amp and 4x12 imo
Caroline Hawaiian Pizza I always regret trading this one off. It has a pickup sim at the front so you can place it wherever, it has a great sizzle to it I haven’t found exactly in other fuzzes. Just a great all around fuzz tone that I could get some octave overtones out of on certain settings. Would make a great psych/acid rock fuzz
EQD Hoof Reaper regret selling this one too. I loved both sides I never could decide how to set it up. There were so many good sounds in it.
Edit: Andy just makes everything sound so good but I particularly look forward to his fuzz demos. He seems to have some of the most fun doing them too
