I have this weird Russian fuzz pedal called "EFFEKT" that seems to be a combination fuzz/vibrato (and has a "wah," too, actually) but mainly its the fuzz that sounds amazing (plus the vibrato is a great addition but it seems finicky). I think it's some kind of maestro clone?

Reminds me of:

Except this one sounds a little brighter, so maybe a bright switch would be good?

Also sounds a bit like this one:

The main thing with the russian one is, while it sounds great, it doesn't really have a footswitch to turn it on in a live setting. Also does't have a volume or gain knob. Just "FOOZ" switch.

Psychedelic mellowtones are in order, don't you think?

As a side note, the clean sound at the beginning is the sound of my homemade 1800s barnwood telecaster with difficult-to-find-info-about Travis Morris handwound pickups which sound great to me (maybe this is something I should demo on its own because there are like no sound clips of this guy's pickups but they sound great and he sells them for super cheap on ebay (like $110 for a strat set).
