I've been looking thrugh fuzz pedals for quite a while and I'd like some help. So I have a Big Muff Pi, and I enjoy it alot, but it always feels scooped and not very atriculate. I've been boosting it with a boss sd-1 to give it a bit more midrange, but it always feels weird to play and just sounds like a muff explosion. I found a pedal called the Thee Ffuzz Warr Overload ( made in part with one of my favorite guitarists, John Dwyer.) and it sounds PERFECT for me, but it's a limited run, only 500 were made and I can't find any to save my life. it's a limited edition version of the Death by Audio Fuzz War. Suprizingly I don't like the sound of the standard Fuzz War, it suffers from the same problems that the Big Muff has in my opinion. So here's a link to a demo of the Thee Ffuzz Warr Overload.

Hope that link works.
If you could think of a few fuzz pedals that sound kinda similar to that, I'd appreciate it a lot.
As of right now, the Apocalypse, also by Death by Audio (and is on the video.) is probably the front runner for me, but I'd love to have a few different pedals to hear!
Fuzz Pedal Help?

Don't get in to a rut looking for "Fuzz"...
Fuzz, overdrive and distortion are all the same thing.
Different makers products tend to have different controls but the core electronics in virtually all types, the bit that actually distorts the signal and gives the characteristic sound, works exactly the same - a diode limiter that "clips" the signal.
The big muff uses two opamp based preamp stages and a single symmetrical diode limiter.
The standard fuzz war uses four transistor preamps and two cascaded symmetrical diode limiters.
Try a Boss PW2 Powerdriver - that has a very similar electronics config to the Fuzz war.
The Boss OD3 is also very similar, a few transistor preamp stages then two cascaded symmetrical limiters.
The Ibanez MS10 "Metal charger" is another with the same setup.
[There are no doubt many more, but I'm having to go through schematics one at a time to find them, from libraries like this http://www.amprepairparts.com/schematics.htm or by searching specific models..]
Some makes use asymmetric diode limiters which gives a slightly different sound - again, the description could be distortion/overdrive/fuzz.
Some pedal makers put _exactly_ the same guts in pedals with different names, so they sell regardless of what effect name the buyer believes they want..
Edit - don't know why the thumbs-downs, anyone can compare the schematics of differently named pedals on the site I linked and see for themselves.
It is a simple fact that most work the same way regardless of being called Fuzz - Distortion - Metal - Overdrive etc.. Some early fuzz designs did/do use a different technique to produce distortion - but none of the mentioned ones are that type.
