Been looking for a non muff variants that kinda mid-rangey/has mid control knob/has that mid-honk the TS does. Finally realize that muff isn't floating my boners anymore :-( With this band of mine, the only pedal that cuts through during loud parts of the songs (fighting the driving bass, stupid cymbals & open hi-hats) is my ts clone. Still looking for a fuzzy structure with the same EQ spectrum.

Megalith...but I guess that depends on what type of band you're in.

I play in a shoegaze/nugaze band. That's one great sounding pedal, but more towards distortion side though. I really want a fuzzy/velcro-ey texture fuzz box. I already stacked too much pedals, so hopefully I could get an individual pedal for this application.

TAFM!

Not a muff. Mids out the ass. Cuts like buttah. Versatile as hell. Good builder.

Or a Buzzz! Also versatile. Octave up. Mids mids mids. Need caffeine. No entire sentences.

Sounds like it's velcrobot time!

Beat me to it. TAFM is the answer. Based off the fuzz face I believe.

There's a TAFM (not mine) in the bst right now for SUPER cheap. Now is the time to try it out.

Tone bender mkIII and it's varients like the buzzaround or dizzy tone, or something like the tone bender mkIII/mkIV doomy emanating fist electronics lucifer rising.

I was going to suggest the Jordan Bosstone. As an owner of the real deal, what do you think UG?

That's in the opposite direction of a big muff for sure, it's about perfect for horn like sounding single lines. It's easy to be a favorite sounding fuzz, the Mahoney clone I have is really close to capturing the rawness of the original at a fraction of the cost. I really think its one of the essential original fuzz tones that everyone should have available.

Unless I missed the OPs original question I thought that he was after something that didn't sound like a muff. Which is why I suggested the Bosstone. I built a clone. It has nice sustain like a muff but has a nicer quality tone. Less likely to get lost in a mix. And it has awesome clean up qualities too. Much nicer fuzz than the Muff in my opinion.

Yeah I agree it's a great suggestion.

I've been thinking of trying out a Bosstone for a while, too - looks like those Mahoneys are pretty readily available (and affordable!) on fleabay:
