From my experience, you can go all the way from a "Muff with a hint of Tone machine" sound, all the way to a "blast 'o hiss before roar of power chord". The spectrum is very wide. Personally, I've experimented quite a bit with it, and I'm more of a low gain transistor fan. I prefer a more instant response when bashing a chord. As for the octave section, well matched transistors, with a trimmer for balancing, works for me. Lift the clipping diodes a bit from ground helps give a bit more grunt as well. Add a variable scoop control, and you're in business.
In the end, you might as well be better off hitting the Shark Tank, and get a reputable builder to customize one for you. As for me, my Photonic Superfuzz fulfills all that I desire in a Superfuzz.
you literally just described the Wattson EFY-6, dawg.

Wattson EFY-6 or Buzzz.
A classic and awesome take and then a more modern take.

Been really digging the SS/BS Buzzz lately. SUPER HUGE plus pretty handy controls, the Ge/Si switch is also awesome for getting more pronounced octaves, cleaner sound etc.
Just recently got a Maxon Elements Ether, which is also really nice because of the one band parametric EQ. I would appreciate at least two bands, but that's besides the point - the idea is great and the pedal sounds awesome as well
really dig the Superfuzz pedals on bass... It actually fills a hole on my board between the OD sound I get from Elements and the extremely fat, compressed tone I get from my Huge Box II - I wanted to get a less compressed, more grindy and open fuzz tone out of it and I find it really awesome for that purpose (especially with the Expander around noon)

forgot about this, and life...
but yeah the buzzz looks sick. might go the ss/bs route.
but the FZ1S is still calling my name along with the BEE BAA
and the goddamn tone machine too has nasty written all over it.
keep my rat as an overdrive and to push with
the LED option on my supercollider fucking slays too
might pick up that behringer and see what's up
if I like it, might rehouse the sucker?
THANKS DUDES)))
FUZZWHORE
OUT.
