Maybe a super fuzz circuit could be cool? I've got the behringer variant of the FZ-2, and it rips. Instant electric wizard. My favorite fuzz is a Fuzzhugger Suneater, but it might not be what you seek in this particular instance. Pick it up anyways because it's not that expensive

And yeah, listen to strange tales and you'll be fine

Psst, there is the ilovedoom subforum. Check their boards out for some sweet suggestions and drool over the absolutely insane wall of amps posted there

You're a cutie.

Welcome new person!
Superfuzz for the win. Check out a Creepy Fingers Harikiri (made by a member of Fu Man) or grab an FZ2 and get your Wizard on. Will make a great contrast to that BAT Russian Muff and more sound the LSTR does.
Bradsmannen has all the good advice.

damn!that harikiri sounds massive,but way too expensive for me...not bad at all also the dopetronish boss FZ2!

and about the fnord?any owners?

Aw thank Pope

Don't know much about it but another suggestion that's kinda frequent is the BAT Black Forest. That's as far as I could go with BAT knowledge.

Surprised the pope didn't suggest an ape blaster though

The fnord is the shit. It's plenty loud, has strange upper octaveness going on but can do more traditional fuzzy sounds as well.
The effect is gated and it stacks great with other dirt

FZ-2 is the true dopethrone sounds, but Malekko has a bass demo of the B:Assmaster where he plays Funeralopolis and it sounds fucking sick. Can't really link right now, but check it out. The superfuzz and Brassmaster circuits both rule.

No clue on the Fnord specifically, have had a BAT Pharaoh and it was great and you already have a LSTR, so you're probably already aware, but Black Arts is pretty specifically aimed at a doom audience. Really can't go wrong with them.

Also really going to keep hyping overdrives before or after fuzzes too. There are so many different ones that can tighten or loosen the sound, make it more chaotic or focues, it is a good direction too.

Mmm... I think the Last decision will be between the fnord and the fuzz master general...

I had a Creepy Finger Rising Sun, which was the NOS mojo Japanese parts precursor to the Harakiri. Early days, like before he started screen printing the logo on pedals. It sounded amazing for that Superfuzz, Shin-Ei Companion, etc. style thick fuzz. I ended up selling it though because I could get essentially the same tone out of an FZ-2. At that time I had picked up an FZ-2 for something like $60 though, I know they go for a lot more now but probably still less than your average boutique offering. There's also the mass produced copies of the FZ-2 out there as well, good for trying the tone out cheaply before committing to the pricey stuff at the very least.

really diggin the fnord or the fuzz master general ,however the FZ-2 will be probably the third contender...
creepy fingers make sick stuff but way too expensive,same for the b:assmaster

Well I'm normally screaming at people to get either a Black Forest or an Ape Blaster, but the LSTR is pretty satanic and could probably cover some of the territory those get into.
Everyone needs both of those pedals though.
Superfuzz is just a markedly different form of evil.

I think the FZ-2 is a great option. It's an insanely heavy fuzz and it's just fun to play with. I personally think that if you're playing with a band, and you want two fuzz tones, you should go with radically different circuits. When playing in a mix, the subtleties between similar drives go out the window. The Muff is a classic pedal and sounds great, but I consider it pretty "standard issue", so personally I would avoid other "standard issue" pedals (Fuzz Face, Tonebender, etc.) They all sound good and have their merits, bit if I'm trying to maximize tones while minimizing board space I would pick one and add an insane octave fuzz or a versatile overdrive. YMMV of course, but I figured I'd share some of my exerience because playing with people has shifted my pedal buying/using habits.

Welcome to the forum! It's always nice to have some fresh meat!

thanx dude!i'll try the FZ-2 for sure

and about the FZ-5?

Fz-5 is a complletely different circuit. Stick with the FZ-2

This^.
FZ5 is digital modelling and is not remotely superfuzzy if I am not mistaken.

An EQD Terminal might sort you out if you can't find a cheap FZ2.
There are a heap of options.
Plus there's the world of Scramblers/Blenders/Octavias/BlueBoxes/etc.
Octave fuzz options for eons.
