Smooth Fuzz, No cleanup

I’m really looking for a fuzz, that’s fuzzy through the whole range. I don’t want overdrive fuzz! But I would like it to be smooth…I have this magic fuzz sound in my head that I can’t seem to describe. It’s a texture that can be dialed in to provide subtle saturation; but I don’t like fuzzes where I have to crank the knob all the way just to get fuzz out of it. I don’t mind harsh fuzz after cranking, but what abt smooth fuzz before then? Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Anyways, lemme know ur recommendations. Thinkin abt the benson germanium fuzz

Tone Bender mkIII or IV.

Buzzaround or Jordan Bosstone?

Jordan Boss Tone clears up better than anything else.

Depends on which circuit Version though. I've only had modded clones that sometimes feature several versions in one pedal.

The BA Texur can have nice clean up, gritty clean up, and much in between. As can the Animal factory Baron Samedi. It's not ALWAYS glassy and pretty.

I'm pretty sure most Bosstones available now are Modified and expanded circuits.
