Looking to have something that sounds HUGE (ballsy bottom end) and with enough bite in the top end to be noticeable.
Needs to do molten leads as well.
Mainly playing indie and textural/ambient stuff but there are those moments where I NEED a fuzz.

Currently using a Fuzz Factory and it has perfect tone when it is not whining (Gate: 2.30 Comp 3.00 Fuzz 5.00 Stab 3.00).
Over the past few years it has been whining more and more and I can't take it anymore. Using a Gibson SG Standard or a Fender Jaguar through mostly Vox amps.

Considering:
Hyperion
Torn's Peaker
Soda Meiser

Other brands:
PTD Mini Bone
WMD Geiger Counter Civilian

Things I had (worthy of mention):
Blackout Effectors Twosome
Black Art Toneworks Pharaoh
Elite Tone Fuzz Monster

Lab ratchet or fuzz huger.

For Devi's, I'd go with the Aenima or the Hyperion.

Also, check out the Fuzzhugger fx Fuzz Huger or Great Wall, and the Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder or Baby Thundaa.

Soda Meiser for sure...huge bottom...maybe find one with a chaos switch for added sizzle on the leads.
Hype could work as well...maybe a bit less bottom, a bit more bite.

i'll add the cherry pop or super massive black hole to the list if you can find one. her pedals can be inconsistent, though. not necessarily bad, but you may not always get what you expect. i happen to like that.

The Aenima is a great fuzz, but may not have the HUGE bottom you're looking for.
But I've used it on bass in the past and I still liked it, so who knows.

I've never played a Soda Meiser, but your description makes me think of it.
& of course Devi has a ton of circuits so there is going to be a lot of suggestions in this thread.

Where's PP? Nowhere? Okay, I got this.

SHOE GAZER

I'd say first choice = Hyperion, second choice = Soda Meiser.

I would suggest a PTD Fudge. You can get massive fuzz textures out of it as well as liquid lead sounds.
It might serve you better then the Bone.
I sold my Torn's Peaker as it came nowhere close to the Trombetta stuff.

Just check out the Double Fudge and the Velvet Fudge/Fudge Buddy demos on his website. I'll bet the new Fudge version will come very close.

I forgot to mention I can only take a MXR size fuzz on my board.
Would LOVE a Shoegazer but my other pedals are used more often than my fuzz so I have to make do with a Swiss army knife.

Most of you echoed my thoughts! Hyperion and Soda Meiser are high on my list. I've tried the Cherry Pop, Year of the Rat and Truly Beautiful Disaster (E13 and Oohlala ones) and they didn't work out for me. Since Devi has cut back on dealers and gone direct, I can't try out her stuff to make a more informed decision.

So....... Soda Meiser or Hyperion! Super impressed with the Hyperion videos I've seen.

Oh and one last thing. I would prefer silicon over germanium since I live in Singapore (near the equator) where the weather is perpetually hot. Most Ge fuzzes just don't work out well here (depening on whether they are temperature dependent fuzz circuits.

I think they're all silicon?

Yeah, there's no germanium components in Devi's stuff. Also, I would say the Hyperion will get you what you want.

Hyperion.

Soda Meiser on the small pedals, they're generally useful in conjunction with other stuff and have a range that's not just simply batshit insane (and I have a DE Test Pattern and other truly batshit stuff, and love it, but complying with your request).

It'll end up as one of her classic pedals 20 years from now.

Hyperion. Soda Meiser has lows but no clarity in the high end, and the Torn's Peaker is pretty rad, but not a lot of lows unless you want to sacrifice highs. Hyperion has a nice balance.

The Electric Brown might be worth checking out, makes some wonderful shoegazin ambient chords. Sometimes it sounds as if the low end is fuzzed out and the highs are clean on low control levels.
