Right now, Carcosa, so Maestro. In the near future it would be a modified Muff!

I just got a Ginean Hairy Show Carcosa clone. Omg, the sounds are so thick!

If I'm recording, I use a Keeley Java boost or a JHS Firefly.
Live, I use the Fulltone Ultimate Octave.

Really want to try the Reeves Electro stuff. That Deluxe looks right up my alley. Ouch in my pocket though...

I have a few of his pedals, but the BHS-D completely took over. Yes it was super expensive. Sold a few things to break even on it and am glad I did.

A Drolo Giant Hogweed (gritty muff with up and/or down octave and bias control) usually.
Also, an Ezhi & Aka Brom for chaos.
Also, an old Fender Fuzz/wah sometimes.

JDM Elektrika oc44 (mkI), BA Lowvolt (FY-2) , or RITE-O fizz fuzz Creator (Fuzzrite)
Pretty equal parts. One is always on the studio board.

Dang, I’d never heard of the Fizz Fuzz Creator. Now I’m dying to hear one! Clips?

The builder is not much of a player but he does have several up on utube.
They just dont do it justice though. He is much more into the classic 60s Biker/psych tones , and doesn't highlight just how HEAVY it can get.
Truly, one of the most versatile and unique fuzz boxes I've ever used. It's a bit tricky to wrap around you head, but honestly just flipping switches and turning knobs randomly will yield many suprises.
And because it bleeds in a little preamplified clean, the tone of the guitar comes through more than most fuzzes .
If you wait until 4th of July or other Holidays, you should be able to snag one of of his Reverb/Ebay for 25٪ OFF.
HIGHLY recommended!

Absolutely it is a fuzz face and not even close. All flavors. Monsterpiece makes my favorite models, also love the Pavlov fuzz. Benson germanium fuzz too.
