nothing wrong with BM types, I love em, but I don't think that's what you want in this instance.
Here's a history: http://www.kitrae.net/music/big_muff_history.html
Whether a Big Muff is what you want for the tones you're after is another question. All the versions are in the same ballpark, tone-wise (but different enough that Muff fanboys have their favourites), and will respond very differently to different amps- with a Fender style mid-scooped sounding amp they'll sound awful (unless you like 60s film soundtracks), since Muffs are also voiced very mid-light, but with a midrangier Marshall-ish amp you'll get very different results.
Here's the Pedal Show episode on classic fuzzes, which IIRC has a demonstration of what happens with Muffs and different amps:
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
What amp are you using?
Set up for quite a dark sound (i.e treble at about 2, mid about 4 and bass at about 6 on the amp).
I think I am there or thereabouts but as mentioned above a big cab is probably the missing piece to the puzzle...?
Iommi through 8-10 or so. Have you tried running your pedal on a lowish setting in a slight broken up crunch? And AC/DC crunch pushed with a tube screamer or EQ will sound huge. Never heard a dirt pedal into a clean match the combination.
I tend to use either an original or recent guvnor - depending on if using my own amp or not. That or a bad Monkey.
This is with the JVM 1 watter (JCM is at the rehearsal room) so still into the clean channel.
I tried it into the second channel but with just a ballhair of amp gain its a noisy mess - just a function of this amp I guess.

If you want an EHX I'd suggest the Tone Wicker for the money.
