That suggests what you want is a Mk1.5 Tone Bender -- similar to a FF but with a bit more midrange honk of a TB.
Here's a couple of demos

-No regular 9V input (I hate dealing with battery).
My Creepy Fingers Supafuzz is 9v battery only but I use and adaptor into my Cioks DC10. The polarity is not an issue as long as the power channel from my dc10 is isolated. Used a couple of matchsticks wrapped in ducktape with a gap between to give me an out for the cable and still allow me to tighten the baseplate. I hated having (and often forgot) to unplug each time before i did that.

The controls are pretty interactive, so when you lower the bias or the fuzz, you affect the tone as well...not sure I've quite mastered it yet, and I never really use it for low-gain applications. It does sputter really well, and I've actually found the over-biased tones to sound great too--absolutely huge.
I do find it to sound pretty dark with my amp though...
Yeah I'd recommend the Transmitter, I just got one in a trade and I fell instantly in love with it. It definitely does those low gain but high volume sputtering fuzz sounds you mentioned and all other settings sound excellent.

I have a custom fuzz face that Rygot built me that does super high gain, super low gain and has a bias knob.... all NOS parts to boot. Talk to him....
