Blackout Effectors Musket (or Blunderbuss) is a good choice.

Musket or Blunderbuss would be my suggestion, too. Both are based on the Muff circuit, with tweaks aimed specifically at giving it greater flexibility & control of gain & EQ. The Blunderbuss is kinda "splattier" and gruffer from what I understand, but I haven't tried one myself.

DIY options are welcome too, I can read schematic and can make perfboard effects

Fairfield Barbershop maybe?
Nice, open overdrive that likes dynamics and tubes.
Also, it has some serious balls when you need it to.
Bonus: Made in Canada!!!!

algal bloom for some lo-gain fuzzies or a fuck overdrive for some bright, dirty od or the elements for all your distortion needs. Listen and see what pleases your eardrums! Taste is subjective!

Black Forest.

I hear no fuzz in that video? Just jangly overdrive really. Try a mellowtone singing tree if you can find one. If you want something with a bit more balls, look at the Creepy Fingers Doomidrive, it blurs the line between fuzz/od/distortion. Very cool pedal.

Or, just buy a clean boost for your amp, unless it's solid state or something.

I totally agree there, I'm looking of something quite weak not over powered or sludge-like

my range master copy sounds friggen sweet with my ap-14

I love the clean tones you can get outta these things tho

Ah, you want a Sam Ash/Astrotone fuzz then. Analogman makes a clone, jerms makes em, Ian Sherwen does em, Ronsound used to make a nice one. Real grindy crunchy but not overly fuzzy fuzz.

I have yet to find the keepers for my gain. Next in line is a Fuck. They get so much love here I feel like I have to try one. For fuzz, I really like my BYOC octave fuzz. And I love all other octave fuzzes too but it's nice to be able to turn the octave off. Malekko has a really nice looking one. Earthquaker has a great selection of fuzzes and few overdrives. But I'm currently in the process of redoing all my dirt. The plan is a Fuck, either an overdrive from Lovepedal or Foot Fetish and maybe a boost combined with mah tubezzz.

Also, ThePastRecedes, you have to listen to John Frusciante. I can tell!

I just got one of these today, and the hype is well deserved. I think it would serve the OP quite well for what he wants.

Fuck OD or The Elements would also be good choices. Actually, I'd recommend getting all three!
