Fuzz Wah/Filter Vs?

The most ferocious fuzzwah that I know of happens when you use the expression input on the EHX Big Muff Pi Deluxe with the midrange controls enabled. Right now I've got my new CopilotFX Autodialer envelope controller plugged in instead of a pedal for some ultra tweaky autofuzzwah goodness.
 
The old huge chrome Tel Ray Morley Power Wah Fuzz pedals from the 70's are beasts in every way. Size and weight included.

Completely out of control sweep range on the wah. IT JUST KEEPS GOING!

Fuzz will rip your head clean off if you aren't careful.

Absolutely delicious when combined IMHO.

The newer Morley remakes are not even worthy of being called a pale shadow of the originals.
 
Morley vs. Dunlop JC vs. EHX Sovtek Deluxe vs. Moog Drive vs. Malekko Scrutator... vs others? Anyone a/b these things?
I just got a Scrutator for this purpose, and to see how it plays with Copilotfx Autodialer/Broadcast (thanks @bholder for that thread!). But I don't have anything on your list at moment. Any specifics you're looking for? I've gone through a ton of dirt/filters and synth pedals, so I can compare it to some stuff. Right now it has to beat the Chunk Octavius Squeezer or an FZ-2 into a Prometheus DLX. Having only fiddled with it for a couple days, I don't think it's the answer, but there are a lot of knobs and options.

Here's a sample, still needs tweaking and practice to get it to trigger, but pretty cool stuff!

This...

100% Awesome. Do it. Do it NOW!

Buffer - Splitter - Fuzz - Envelope Filter. The envelope is buffered and the fuzz side is not AND since both fuzz and envelope respond best at the beginning of a signal chain straight from pickups the input is split so each effect is technically first. Really solid design. This is love.
