Never played one and wanna try one, plus I have a madbean snack shack to build soon and wanna compare.

Who has got one they like?

The ones I see mentioned around here are the Nine Of Swords Tyrant, then there's the Minotaur Fuzz & Burn and the Black Arts Toneworks Ritual is supposed to be based on a Meathead as well but I think the last one lacks a bit a punch and I personally prefer the Pharaoh out of the BAT line.

Tyrant is on my short list so far

The Sunmachine Fuzz O))) also comes to mind and Jimmy Behan builds Meathead clones as well.

Cheapish clones or? Got a link?

Sunmachine ain't cheap I think, Jimmy Behan isn't too expensive but apart from BAT they're all in the EU/UK I'm afraid.

The Ritual is a One-Knob Fuzz, technically: but the difference between that and the meathead is very slight.

I feel like there are many builders in the shark tank and the DIY sections of our site who could make you a really rad one.

Did you try a Meathead as well as a Ritual?
Sharktank definitely, I know Ben79, Dunwich, Jero and Stupid Dream 88 from here have build some.

Dude, Kaos has been building kits from an English company that sell a meathead PCB for dirt cheap. Hit him up for the deets. He might even be able to sort you out on the cheap.

I have a Meathead Dark clone from Stupid Dream 88 / Aaron / ARC effects. Love it on bass, one of my main bass dirt pedals. Like it a lot with guitar through my tube amps, but tried it with guitar through a solid state bass amp at band volume for the first time tonight, and it was too muddy. Had the amp dialed in for a different pedal tho, might be able to dial it in better.

Savage Henry was another One Knob/ Meathead variant, made to be more garagey and fried out.

+1, I have one he built, it sounds great, plus it has an oscillation knob and switchable tone circuit

Yeah guilty as charged on both accounts. Glad you're still digging it morange. I tried to make it as perfect and as versitile as I could. It's probably some of my best work. Though my wiring has got a little neater since doing that one.
