Favourite bass fuzz pedals?

I've repeatedly said I need new fuzz but the Musket V2 and Mastotron have satisfied my needs for so long that I haven't really touched any new fuzz pedals in months. They hold the low end and keep me present in a distorted mix with two other guitars.
I guess they're my favorites by default. :)
 
Another vote for the Iron Ether Oxide....the fuzz that I thought was only in my imagination is now a reality on my board.

My 2nd favorite is the EQD Hoof (4-knob). As far as Muff types go, the Hoof has kept my Musket (V2) and Supercollider (OG w/mids knob) on the bench for a while now.

I've still got love for the Battering Ram even though the Oxide has taken it's spot on my board.
 
I've been using the Fender Sublime bass fuzz as an "always on" fuzz recently with my foot constantly spinning that wheel depending on the song. I always need that grit in my band.

My new IR Oxide has been working wonderfully as a screaming fuzz. That thing can really scream when I need to.
 
Some of my favorites, past and present, in no particular order:

-Bass Big Muff - classic muff sound, decent blend, cheap!
-Wounded Paw Attack Goat - So.. much... attack! Almost an octavia type effect, great for cutting through the mix
-Swollen Pickle - Muff like but with nice tweakablity (and a blue LED)
-Brown Dog - so, so, so gated on the highest settings, so insanely square wave and tight.
