Distortion/fuzz pedals!

[ElBarto]

Hi everybody! I need a distortion/fuzz pedal!
There are a lot of pedals out here and I don't know which one to buy
I have seen a lot of demos on youtube and I like these pedals:
Way Huge Pork and Pickle; Blower Box Distortion; DOD Carcosa; Damnation Audio mbd1 and KMA Audio Machine Wurm and Dead Stag these two are so insane!
Has any of you tried one of these or does it have them?

Before everyone starts shouting...
Budget?
What amp and bass(es)?
What style of music?
What do you like in fuzz or not like?

I like the vibe I get from the KMA website!
Personally I use the four eyes fuzz and unpleasant surprise -both Fairfield circuitry and love using these two.

As in, what are some aspects or features in a fuzz that you want/like or don't want. Ex - I want low noise and gating...I like mids and lots of bass...I don't need a clean blend...etc etc etc.

Since you mention Idiotbox and @father of fires (Damnation), but you mention 200 euros, are you cool with customs/VAT fees or are you looking for brands stocked in Italy or in Euro distribution?

Similar to what you said
Obviously low noise, I don't like too much hight and extremely scooped sound.
For this reason i like the KMA pedals they have 4 band EQ.

I honestly don't know how much the customs / VAT costs.

Plenty good European builders out there. I'd investigate those(on the vat and customs question).

Has any of you tried one of KMA or does it have them?

I'm selling a dunwich wizard fuzz atm, it absolutely slays (one of my tope 3-5).

4 eyes fuzz is an insanely underrated and incredibly versatile pedal. I love mine. It slightly cuts lows but the sound is amazing.

Check out an EHX Green Russian Big Muff, it's $100 up here in Canada, so I imagine its pretty cheap over there. It is also available at literally every guitar store on the planet.

I agree that it Can cut lows. That depends on the settings though.
It seems to get better, the more I use mine and the better I know it.

I’m new to fuzz/distortion on bass but I took my fulltone 70 and plugged in and it was the fuzz that I liked from the Wetton sounds of the 70s. It was less than $100 used like new. Great pedal.
