Hi,
I 'm byamping my rickenbacker,
now I use a big muff for my high tones.

But I 'm searching for a < 150$ fuzz/ overdrive / distortion that keeps low end REALLY well.

I would like to hear a growly low end warm tone out of it.
Can 't explain for 100%

Maybe a VT Bass? Or perhaps a Way Huge Pork Loin?

Are you using the stereo out? I would have thought neck pickup into a clean-ish amp and bridge pickup into fuzz + guitar amp would be a good thing to try. But if you want fuzz with lots of lows, the Bass Big Muff is good, but I have never heard one with more bass than the sfx Micro Fuzz. That's fuzz at least, for bass heavy overdrive I'd suggest a BB Preamp, which has an active EQ.

Yet again, Rusty Box and/or Team_Awesome Fuzzmachine is the answer to all problems!

I 'm using the rick in stereo yes.
The treble out are my lows, and the bass out are my highs
(it 's really better cous the treble pup is even more tight).
treble out => oc-2 => fuzz? => bassballs =>tube amp channel bass.
bass out => muff=> sc-10 chorus => fender vol pedal with tuner out and tuner. => really cranked tube amp.
(I like much OD.)
now, I 'm goin to check some pedals posted above

ty.
More fuzzes and hints always welcome, thank you.

SFX micro fuzz rocks.

rusty box = omg tight.
