Trying it out yourself is always the best option.
Nice one, yeah, I was really blown away when I heard the difference, the Hayseed already was a great amp but the last mod made it into an amazing amp.
I played quite a few Vox type amps but the latest Hayseed 30 and the older type Matchless Phoenix and Lightning killed just about any other amp in that field for me.
good deals with: the_brow, phantasmagorovich, alexsga, DarkAxel, goroth, The Wood Wizard, Tendollarcat, vbps, monkeydancer, intothegroove, Brobee

Its built in the base of a wah wah. So yeah kinda big haha. Sounds huge too. Shouldn't have any trouble cutting through the mix, like LG said its got alot of presence. Its one of the best sounding muff variations for sure. All muff are going to have that mid cut unless you get one with tone stack bypass mod. So sure compared to big muff all of the tonebender are going to give you more midrange. That Montarbo is also pretty great take on the big muff too, lots of interesting variations on the theme out there.
I tend to like things with treble...the fuzz unit is very muff, but has much more clarity and tightness than my sovtek muffs...but if Tristan says they don't sound good through his amp, I would take his word for it. The Sinphoton is a little bit more treble-based, thinner, and more "punk" than the fuzz unit.
I have V4 and V6 (I think) Dizzy tones...The V6 high gain OC44 one is pretty great, but more normal I guess (and less range overall in the controls... kinda has two sweet spots). The V4 Gold one is more splattery, gatey and interesting. Both sound full and sound great with power chords. All four do actually. I've been playing the dizzy tones like crazy lately...I think they sound great as normal riffing fuzzes (the OC44 high gain one especially). My low brow buzaround clone can't hang with the two dizzy tones in character (in my opinion).
Overall, I like the Sinphoton...it just seems to work well with the beta lead and kinda fits my style I guess.
Tristan and UG give great advice too...I would just try some out.
