I like Big Muffs with the sustain all the way down and with the tone and volume set to compensate, as a fuzzy overdrive.

Fingerprint's are awesome. I built a clone recently and it is so versatile. Low and Mid gain od to glitchy crazy fuzz. The sound of the decay gives me a boner. Would recommend a fingerprint to anyone looking for a versatile dirt pedal. Also been loving the demo's of the fingerprint Redux with the starve control. :thumb:
+1

yeah man, at one point due to some technical difficulties, I had to use it instead of usual distortion pedals and somehow got a really solid fuzzy rock distortion out of it as well. Powerful pedal for sure

+1 for the algal bloom. Really shines at low gain textures with the bloom halfway up and the starve to taste. My guitarist uses mine in this way and it really wows sound guys almost every time we set up.

+ another 1 for the TAFM. My friend has one and I need to pick one up myself. or two... one for low and one for high gain.

On Bass, my favorite low gain is a Frantone Lo-Tone. Just sounds so right.
