Fuzz II is awesome, especially on drop-tuned instruments, but I don't know if I'd ever use it live. It's got no midrange to speak of.
I found the opposite.
I loved Fuzz I, but honestly Fuzz II sounded like complete trash to me. Totally unusable. Absolutely no midrange. It sounded like a cheap metal pedal to me. I really don't get what all the fuss is about. Fuzz I was great for splattery rhythm tones, cool leads, and just general octave madness. I don't get it. MIds are pretty important.
I dunno man....fuzz I is pretty eh to me. But fuzz II gets that huge wall-of-sound thing I like.

The mid-cut can be compensated for.
But I hate splattery. That shit needs to be tighter than an infant's asshole
I also thought fuzz I was ehhh. The gain boost is literally the shittest thing of all time, but when you kick on fuzz II it gets so grotesque. It is so prosthetic, vile, sickening, dark, and abrasive. It does kind of sound like a cheap metal pedal, in a good way.
