right there with ya! Right now I've got both Foxroxs, small box Fulltone '69 and '70, and an MJM Foxy Fuzz (BMP clone). Those are my favorites after trying about a dozen others and I let the rest go....but they were all different, all fun!
Love Fuzz! Dunlop Fuzz Face, ditched the stock circuit and put in my own take on a Germanium Arbiter Fuzz, Jimi Hendrix Signature Fuzz, still playing around with it. Just finished a BC183L Fuzz that smokes but I still need to box it up.
depends, the Scarab Deluxe is an excellent pedal, but it doesn't do the trick for pure tone bender tones
it's based off the jumbo bender, which is closely related to the muff circuit, four silicon transistors
again, it's an awesome pedal, but not a pure bender
Monsterpiece MKIII 5 knob is a killer bender, with 3 germanium transistors and a pure bender circuit, still has plenty of gain. seriously, I've never seen a germanium fuzz with so much gain. tons and tons of sounds, you can bypass the tone pot, tweak the transistor and input bias. it loves Zeppelin and Les Pauls! but can get stuff as extreme as Queens of the Stoneage fuzz tones, bassey Kyuss stuff too.
Also Earthquaker Devices Tone Reaper is a great 3 knob bender
^ Thanks for the recommendations, will check 'em out! Yeah, I've never owned a bender before so I'm just going with the "majority" pick, but I think I'll dig deeper.
My guess is that Dunlop couldn't use the smile that says "Dallas-Arbiter England". Because around that time the grey Arbiter (left) ones from England was re-issued. Maybe.
