I can attest to this

big box EHX Metal Muff w/ Top Boost. ultranasty trashyphonic distortifuzz at the ready!

you answered your own question on that one.

+1!

It's trashier than any other fuzz, I guarantee it.

The only Devi I own is an E13 SM. One day, I will own a White Spider too.

Got a clone coming my way... we'll see when it arrives.

Anybody got a perf layout of this or a Fuzzrite? I'll share my cookies with you... they're Maple-flavoured!

A rat.

Now I gotta find a perf layout...

Vox tonebender is thin and reedy, wouldn't describe it as trashy tough (I love it so...).
Have you thought about a fuzzrite? Easy build too.

Here's a schem for the tone bender though
I have vero layouts for fuzzrites if you want em.

Thin and reedy is what I want! That vero layout would be appreciated... I haven't yet tried to build an effect using vero.

Mid Fi Psych Byke seems like an interesting variation on this seem as well...

It can, but it does so much more too. And, I'm glad to hear you have a clone on your way, elbandito.

Earlier, I asked if anyone could venture to guess what fuzz one of the guitarists from Crass used. I've decided to attach a couple of short sound clips that present the sound I'm talking about... I await your expert opinions or suggestions of close approximations!

the first one is a little quieter in the mix, but it's the really fucking thin-sounding rhythmic guitar part, and the second one is a sort of melody (?) which is a lot easier to distinguish:

Harmonic Percolator! Trashy, still very defined. It's like playing on a metal bodied guitar with fresh strings through a Rat set low gain and a shitty old 60's amp... or something.

Easy there, Albini.

Gibson ES-335>AC-30

that's all you need

The Maestro FZ-1 is probably the trashiest I can think of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pf5RbKlvdM the first fuzz box... pretty nasty sound though really.

Or yes the Mosrites are good or a Baldwin Burns Buzzaround... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZViQ2H-5s4 probably the best sounding of the trashier fuzzes, to me anyway (although I still love a good Tone Bender MkII)

Also check out the Kay Fuzztone... pretty nasty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tfyW5dP ... re=related Silicon too so no finding them pesky germaniums (but oh they sound so good)

I don't have a perf for any of these but I could make a vero up (I have a vero for the Tone Bender MkII & Mosrite Fuzzrite)... on board pots for a 1590B, natch.
