Fuzz pedal

Zoom Ultra Fuzz is pretty sweet. Discontinued, but easy-ish and cheap to get hold of. Other than that, Fuzz is one of the most spoken (typed) about topics in this forum. So a search would provide you with heaps of info and sound clips.
Do you know if you want harsh buzz saw type fuzz or creamy smooth fuzz?

It's kind of like asking "which is the best ice cream flavor?" It's not a question with a specific answer.
Maybe give some more info, like your bass and amp, what kind of music you play, your budget... You'll be able to narrow it down a little more.
Then it comes down to trying some different fuzzes, and your own personal tastes.

EH Little Big Muff or Mojo Hand Huckleberry can both be creamy and smooth. Also out soon is the MXR El Grande though no-one's tried one yet.

I just picked-up a Jimi Hendrix Fuzz along with a Barge Concepts Blend pedal...I used it with my band yesterday, and it really sounded great and kept the low end. I guess it depends on what you are playing...

Major +1 to "post some clips of the sound you want". Also let us know your budget. Otherwise the question is meaningless.
I've sent 4 emails in the past 7 weeks ... nothing. I really want one too. But I do suggest reading this before you make a final decision. Link Removed
I don't care who makes it and sells it, I still want one. You might.
for the $20-30 you can also try the behringer fuzz pedal with the dif settings on it. it is not as "digital" sounding as some of the others I have seen and gives you alot of options.
that with my russian muff and i like the sound

Buzz saw. Example, MXR Blowtorch and MXR flanger. They sound great together. It's my favorite sound I can make with my board.A thing that always haunted my mind:
synth fuzz sounds come from buzz saw or creamy smooth type fuzz?
If your talking about the GGG tuned Big Muff, some people say it's the same pedal and others say they're nothing alike.
