Recommend a Warm & Smooth Fuzz / Distortion Pedal ?

+1 on the LS-2. If you like your existing fuzz, it's a great inexpensive blender. For one thing, it allows you to do cool stuff like blending two different effects loops-- for example, you could have your fuzz in loop A and an octave in loop B and then you have the option of using your fuzz with a clean blend or kicking in the massive subs with the octave engaged. Or you can just keep a string of dirt pedals in one loop and use the other loop as a clean blend for all of them. Lots of other possibilities...
 
I've become a fan of no-clean blend distortions . I had a W&C TFR with a clean blean and there was something about it I didn't like. The clean blend seemed to throttle the openness of the grain of the distorted tone... even with the blend rolled off. I recently sold it and replaced it with a standard TFR and because the TFR already has a lot of low end in the tone, it still cuts through the mix, but now sounds so much better to my ears.
