Check out creep fingers. Or Ghost Effects. Fredric Effects. I've recently got pedals from all three and they are top quality AND at your price range. Maybe go to axe and you shall receive and see what's what.

I've been chewing on the thought of the Harmonic Percolator by Fredrick. Creepy Fingers stuff has always been just a tad out of my range, but 'tis the season, no?

What's that yellow/orange pedal Malkmus uses?

I'm really liking the Super Reverb with my fuzz so far, really thick and crunchy. I'm excited to see how the Rainbow Machine and other fuzz comes along

awesome pedal, i've got the collins interfax hp and it stacks with anything in interesting new ways. I picked up the mutant fuzz from fredric, an os mutantes (regalus VIII) clone. Soooo nice sounding....also picked up the creepy fingers os mutantes version. I did a video demo of the two next to one another, not as if that will help you out if you're thinking hp. Can't go wrong with either builder.

Also, congrats on the sweet amp :thumb:

Always wanted an agal bloom as well.

Update as well, picking up a comp. Looking at the MXR Custom Comp. Listed my Egnater around the internets, maybe making my board larger.

What's up with the big cheese?

Really nice Fuzz from defunct Lovetone. As a whole their pedal lineup was pretty awesome, but the used prices are $$$ and they are not really pedal board friendly i.e. big. Lots of clones available and probably a builder on here that would make one for you for far less money than the rare originals. Its a pretty great sounding fuzz with a wide tonal range.

Is it a muff based fuzz?

not as far as I know. the big cheese is voltage controlled, has potential for gated fuzz sounds, not a scooped midrange like the muffs. IMO a far more versatile pedal that also sounds different from the big muff.

i can't personally say. but they look like they are put together in a very tidy manner. i did just get a clone of a dam ezekiel somebible verse. its a bass eq/filter/boost. its really nice sounding and has a very wide range of filter options. apparently its an original design. i think they got in the game like almost every other builder by making clones of vintage pedals. their forum is pretty good.
