Need New Fuzz

hey Tbers,
So about 9 months ago I got a girlfriend and sold all my gear while getting back into being a responsible adult. Yesterday I received an unexpected windfall of money and would like to at least get an analog octave-fuzz-chorus set up again. Any new fuzzes come out in my absence?
I am interested in the Colorsound Bass Fuzz or any octave fuzz. Dazzle me with your recommendations! Thanks

Yeah, I guess the Behringer is relatively disposable. Play it until it breaks, then buy a new one. ;)

You can always rehouse a Behringer if you’re that worried. I’ve found the Behringer pedals I own have held up to whatever I do to them as well as any other pedal. And the prices can’t be beat. Their UV-300 Ultra Vibe ($25) absolutely nails the $175 BOSS VB-2w sound.
 
I’m late to the party having bought my first fuzz pedal this year after many years of trying out different ones but never actually pulling the trigger.

I got a Invalid Link Removed, which is basically Formula B’s take on a “bubble font” Green Russian Muff which (IMO) is the variety of fuzz pedal that works best with bass - unless you’re after something more extreme than a Muff sound.

Works equally well for bass or guitar. Something that’s a major plus in my house since my SO is a guitarist. ;)
