So I love me some fuzz/dirt
love hitting my amp with boosts, tube overdrive, distortion, muff, etc etc
but now Im on a search for the most over the top fuzz sound ever.
Loud, high gain uncontrollable madness.
so far, I've been really liking the Mid fi Fuzz Wall.
What else is out there that is NASTY and MEAN
looks like mountain king are also on the need to check out list.
What do you guys think?
Whats the most aggressive fuzz box out there?

lastgasp art laboratories - 88-super oscillo fuzz
wmd - geiger counter (not technically a fuzz, but the bit crushing can be all the things you're looking for)

Got the Geiger and love it, and to tell ya the truth...havent even figured it all out yet.
I do like them harmonic percolator tones too....hmmmm'
also, dwarfcraft make some awesome stuff.
But, ya know, one of the meanest sounds Ive heard was a rat though a hiwatt with a cheap danelectro octave, everything dimed.
Im looking at that lastgsap stuff now....

Lastgasp stuff is hella evil.
Sounds like you are looking for more of a shrieking, wailing cat killer tone than the rumble in the intestines sort of fuzz that mountainking makes. Alan is great, don't get me wrong but he's pretty much at home in the doom timbre. There might be fuzz face variants that could do what you are up to. You could always get one of the fine people in the shark tank to build you one tuned to your liking.
You could also look for octave fuzzes. those get very harsh too.
Some more Ideas:
fredric effects unpleasant companion
SS/BS super puzzle
Boss HM-2
Maybe the Mellowtone Wolf Computer?

Devi Ever Rocket or Destructo Noctavia, for less octavia and more straight loud aggressive fuzz, Torn's Peaker.
I second the Last Gasp Lab's Oscillo fuzz.
Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer.
TheSyle Velcro fuzz:
http://bernunzio.com/product/the-syle-velcro-fuzz-2/Fuzzhugger Velcroar-oscillator... or is it Velroscillator?

This and if you can find a used Black Arts Badascan I'd go that route.
