got a fuzz factory and though I do love it, it crushes my low end I've kept intact this far.
I do want to mangle my tone in interesting ways but keep the low end, if I want. which is always.

the superfuzz gun and the fuz completo seem to be the best options
though one is silicon and one is germanium.
kind of want a a switchable hybrid and lean toward germanium for this type of circuit.
basically love the fuzz factory, hate the shape, led, bass loss, feeback not switchable etc...

as a side note I run and love these,

ea centurion modded v2

vintage blue blue box modded (haven't got it back yet but sheesh, I might want suggestions there too... it's gonna have the boost installed mod and hicut switch by solidgoldfx as well as true bypass. just afraid the right input/output caps can't fit in a box that small, I'll have to ask him... ahhh) anyways...
the fuzz meltith my brain.!

Check out Fuzzhugger(fx) line of pedals, They might have something you like.

Definitely check out Fuzzhugger, the AB-Synth might be what you're looking for, or if you want a hard to find option the Zoom Ultra Fuzz is kinda similar to a Fuzz Factory and has decent low end.

There are so many builders here who have amazing stuff. Definitely check out Fuzzhugger, and if you see something that's "almost there, but not quite," contact Tom directly - he's amazingly great to deal with on custom jobs.

Also, check out the Smallsound/Bigsound Bass Super Puzzle - it's based on the old Superfuzz circuit, but made more full-spectrum tonally for us low-enders, and with a clean blend to boot.

EDITx2: Here's an older Excane demo of the Ab-Synth on bass - the sound is much more muffled, so it's not a fair comparison with the Super Puzzle, but he does show off the Ab-Synth's amazing oscillation side:

Also, definitely check out the Shark Tank - that's where the smaller, newer builders live. A lot of them worked their way up from the DIY area, and may have experience with building FF clones or doing mods on them.

Well, yeah, DUH! Gnomeratron VTF is like, the bass-friendly EVERYTHING killer!

TAFM?

TAFM is awesome as a straight up fuzz with loads of low end, but it's not really crazy.

The 4545 would be Bri's hat in the crazy oscillating fuzz ring.

Definitely the AB-Synth Bass.

Tee HEE!! *squeek* Ooohh yoouuu

I gotta re-record that ABsynth...that was a LONG time ago before I settled on a pretty good recording setup. Killer pedal FO SHO

I forgot about that, the 4545 is really cool on bass, especially with clean/normal fuzz pedal blended in.

thanks for all the suggestions all. I was leaning towards the DBA Superfuzz Gun. but it's really pricey.
the AB synth had my eye and bought the fuzz factory. it's cool but left me wanting more. or less. ha.
the superfuzz puzzle looks cool, but then so does the DBA.

think fuzzhugger might be the way to go. they handle low end well? better than zvex?
I know it's gonna cut some but...
