Where's the lulz emoticon when I need it?? :D ;)

There is no Mudfuzz, only Zuul.



I have been getting some great DOOM with: Mudbuckered Telebass > GeminiDrive > Green Muff

And I know it's all about low end, but I add in just the tiniest splash of +1 octave (it's just baaaarely there) during the really heavy parts and seriously all hell breaks loose.

I run Clean into an Old Ampeg V-2 Guitar amp (+ Hartke 4X10 Cab)and crank the piss out of it, and seems to give me all the Doom Fuzz I've ever wanted... And a lot more. It's a Happy accident too in a way since it's borrowed till I can buy a new rig. The up side is the distortion is unmatched. The down side is it strains cranked fully and warmed up to produce the volume needed to compete with my Guitards who have the volume knob turned to 3. Plus I can't get a Clean sound out of it to save my ass if I ever wanted one. Something to think about though :)

Edited: Let me also Note that this Thread title would make a great Band Name :)

Slightly off topic but I think that the Dirt sound that Jeff Matz has on the latest High On Fire album absolutely kills. He doesn't use any pedals.
Quote from Bassplayer mag -"I go for a huge, bottom-heavy sound. My typical setup is an 8x10 cabinet with an early-’80s SVT head. I turn that on its side and put my Marshall cabinet with an old Laney guitar head on top and split my bass signal. Because I use bass and guitar amps, I get both a beefy SVT tone and a screaming Motörhead sound. The combination adds an element to my sound that I can’t recreate with any fuzz boxes. It’s pretty rude!"-Jeff Matz

He does use a bunch of pedals as well.

If you're good with a soldering iron try out a General Guitar Gadgets Maestro Brassmaster clone. I've made one and it sounds great because you can dial in exactly how much fuzz you want with the mix pot without losing too much of your original tone.

Though I have to say once the guitar or guitars in your band get cranked you're not going to hear much of your own fuzz at all. All bass fuzz will be canceled out anyway. Just my two cents.
