Favourite Fuzzdogs?

Winny_Pooh

No fees for my Aion order 3 months ago.
I love the supreaux. It's a bit like the mkii liquid sunshine. Quite opposite to the odr (which is smooth and fat), its a transistor drive so more crispy but very characterful. I use it for overall cutting rhythm parts or for neck/middle pickup clarity.

Anyone tried the Pharaoh clone (Ramesses), any good? Been listening to a lot of Elder recently, got me gas’ing for fat fuzziness

You can get Aion kits from musikding in Germany (although they're out of stock of the Andromeda/ODR-1 at the moment).

I haven’t tried any of those listed recently, but keen to try the Sexdrive, Lightspeed and KoT clones. Tho I never play at trouser flapping volume, so the KOT may be lost on me. 

I wonder if he’s also working on a Duellist? Seems the obvious flavour of the month sort of thing that would make a good “big build”

Bumping this 2.5 years later as I'm going to order a Tubebender after @UnclePsychosis ' recommendation.

What else have been your favourites from Fuzzdog - particularly anything more recent? 

Since my last post here I built:

• Lightspeed (meh)
• Sexdrive (slightly meh)
• DRV (srsly what is the fucking point of a polite Rat???)
• EQD Death Drive (ooh boy yes the opposite of polite)
• KOT (posh but delightful) 

...and probably some others I can't remember. IIRC I still have an engineer's thumb comp and some sort of treble booster in the cupboard somewhere waiting to be built.

The Deep Vibes is excellent, EQD Depths clone, univibe with mod cons

My favourite builds from Fuzzdog have been...

Tubebender. Is it a drive? Is it a fuzz? Dunno but it's ace. 

Germanium Karma Suture - it's a fancy Harmonic Percolator and it's amazing. 

Red Llama. A fuzzy drivey box of joy.

Ta - those all sound like good shouts and nothing I've had before, except the Red Llama which I've been meaning to try again. Incidentally I don't understand why they haven't done a "Smalls" version of the RL as its a great circuit.

I'll also go for a Phase 90 as they're in stock and I've never actually owned one in almost 20 years of wanting to.

Any other suggestions?

Just remembered there is a Slow Gear lit as well. This may turn into a nifty set of builds

Cirrus

I think everyone needs a Supersonic Fuzz Gun in their life.

A germanium karma suture is probably the most underrated and versatile fuzz I can think of, I love mine.

I like the Blue Fool very much, and still can't get over how good the Angry Andy sounds and how versatile it is for so few parts.

My latest Fuzzdog is the gristleizer. 

The last one i built was the baxandall Rat with the ruez trimmer. Love it…. And a tremulus lune clone.

I've just started building a Fuzzdog Tubebender kit - very excited! I built the original kit from Guitar Magazine back in 2002. Really loved the pedal and used it on a few recordings. It soon broke however due to my poor workmanship. I now have many years of soldering under my belt so this one should be a bit better! I remember loving the tone of that pedal with the gain on high - can't wait!

Finished a couple last week...

Spectre Verb (EQD Ghost Echo) - great reverb, does a cool pre-delay slap thing

Chimera (Benson) preamp - fairly generic OD to my ears despite the hype!

+1 for the spectre verb. 

I also really like the Engineers Thumb Compressor. 

Recently made a Beast ( J. Rockett Blue Note ).

The most recent PCBs are on a par with Madbean and PedalPCB finishes, really early PCBs had pads that didn't manage too many reheats without lifting.

I always wanted a Magnavibe and it took my too long to realise that fuzzdog do one as the magic vibes tremolo. Beautiful sounding thing, and an easy build

I completed the FuzzDog TubeBender - it’s all I hoped for and more. Very pleased with this pedal. Great range of textures and tones.

Is that the ‘3 band Rat’? What does it sound like? I always wished my Rat had more EQ control.

I have built a few. The Klon was great and sounded awesome. 
I did a delay and I liked the dirt mod. That is a great pedal. 
I like the he often adds mods in the build notes. 
I've built lots from Jed's Peds as well, they are also good. 
I also built from pedal PCB, otalgia and the bits box ones. 
Recently I've been using old school tagboard and also vero
