Which Fuzz Pedal for Chris Brown's Fine China?

My R&B band is adding a bunch of newer material to the set list and this tune was on the list. A, KILLER bass line!!!! Took me a bit to get it down.
B. I don't use effects - aside from envelope filters occasionally, a touch of compression sometimes and a little chorus when I play fretless - and have no idea how to get that sound. If you haven't heard the tune, go give it a listen. Help!!!

This is indeed a killer bass line. Just spent 3 evenings learning it. It's the most I have learnt from a song in a long time.

The two fuzzes I've used to play that song have been the Iron Ether Oxide and the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine with the gate on.

Both sound good though I'd say the Oxide was closer to the album tone. There's a YouTube video of someone covering the song with the Oxide which would give you a good idea of how it sounds.

EDIT: Found that video.
