I like the meathead for sludgey yet grindy kinda fuzz

Definitely the Megalith. The Supercollider is pretty awesome too.

I have been thinking of getting a Musket, or the Blundermuss version. Or is the blunderbuss a limited run?

+1

Sounds even better with a second voice slammed in front of it

Meathead +1

Not to veer too far off topic but:
I like what I've heard of the Meathead (never owned one) but feel I can get pretty close to the same sound with the Megalith.
The Megalith seams to be a lot more tweakable though.
New they are priced about the same but used the Megalith is a bit less.
Has anyone tried both? I would like to hear how they compared.

Earthbound Audio Supercollider is another one, but yeh the TAFM no doubt

I bet! I think any fuzz would turn into an absolute monster when slammed with a Second Voice. I couldn't believe the first time I kicked that thing on, didn't realize just how much output the Second Voice was packin'.

Oh really? Do tell more...any results on bass?

I keep meaning to chime in with a 'meathead' too, clone or D*A*M. Even my 'dark' isn't scooped, it's got huge fuzz and bottom end, but it cut through a concert mix with a Mesa Boogie bass stack next to it. I might mail it to my friend for recording their side of an album this month, it sounded so good with the setup they're using for 2nd guitar now.

I also like the Thundercloud for a 'more mids' muff of doom, tho it will do more than that.

So far, I'd exclude Cherry Pop and Pharoah... But I need more time to futz with both.

The Meathead has a raw but very articulated sound, with a great dynamic. The Megalith, despite all the knobs, sounds to me like a one-trick pony: a massive sludgey (wall of) fuzz, plenty of low end. The Meathead is a one-knob but all porpouse pedals, the Megalith is simpli a brick slammed into your face.

The scoop knob helps to dial it more wide open, Pharaoh(ish) tones to be had without the overall darkness, worth a look maybe. Also packs more gain than the Pharaoh for really bringing the heavies! So far, so good!

I love my Pharaoh for doomy tones

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest something nobody has mentioned - the fuzz side of a Fulltone Ultimate Octave... can get a pretty gnarly Queens tone out of it, which isn't surprising since Josh Homme uses on I think
