If you could win a modern-day fuzz pedal, what would you want to win?

I'm running some giveaways on my blog this year and looking at doing one for a fuzz pedal, mainly because I love fuzz pedals, which are a lot of fun.

I'm looking for ideas on ones I could give away in a free draw. So I figured I would ask you what you think is suitable as a prize.

My current favourites are the Orange Fur Coat and Walrus Audio Eons (as they are versatile) or perhaps one of the new Warm Audio models.

Once I have chosen one, I'll sort out the June or July giveaway, as I already have a free draw for a guitar this month and another freebie for our May giveaway.

I know what I like, but I figured I could get something everyone likes, so your opinions would be helpful with this. Asked my guitar mates around here and have their suggestions already (including EHX and a few boutique brands)

The only criteria need to be new and something without a ridiculous waiting list so readily available.

This could be good, for example

Interesting, not a bad sounding FF, the demo gets pretty EJ tone-wise

The Tru-Fi Two Face Fuzz sounds good and is a two in one (silicon and germ)...

I have the Junior version and I love it. The bigger one has more flexibility on placement.

There is a custom version that is much bigger as well. I've not tried that one yet.

I think the Warm Bender is a good shout.

Alternatively the Great Eastern FX Focus Fuzz looks good.

Any of Thorpy’s or Benson’s

Some of Death by Audio velcro stuff.

I quite like DAM stuff, but may be a bit too niche for a giveaway

I think you might get a different answer from each person who replies! 

Personally a Field Marshall, or something really versatile (Eons seems like a good option!). 

ICBM

Boss FZ-1W

It is certainly an effect with lots of choices. I was thinking Eons or Warm Audio as variations of fuzz, etc

I’ve asked a few people for their opinions and here, as is easy to forget or miss something interesting. 

Some good suggestions here already like the FZ-1W.

I have an ICBM, a White Atom v4 and a King Tone mini Ge.

Maybe a Frederic Super Unpleasant Companion Nouveau?

Great idea for a giveaway, many thanks.

FZ-1W is a good shout too. Do you have a link to your blog?

This! Or maybe some Earthquaker stuff, I love my Erupter but the Hoof (or even better Hoof Reaper) seem pretty versatile. 

GoFish

Some good suggestions: Warm, Waza, Benson, Thorpy.

For us UK plebs, the overseas stuff always has that exotic smell, so perhaps Basic Audio?

Those are some excellent suggestions. Ideally, I'll get something ready in May for the draw in June/July. We already have a few free giveaways coming. 

I'm quite into the idea of the fuzz draw, and if it is popular, then we might do another, so we could always give away two. One for each giveaway, etc

The issue is there are too many cool fuzz pedals!
