Thanks for your suggestions, Gino. I will look into all of them.
A little over a year ago, I purchased a Black Cat OD-Boost because I did not have an overdrive pedal and thought I would add one to the board. I was surprised on how much I liked it; may because of the Boost.
When the subject came up about Fuzz pedals, it got me thinking because all I have is a EH Big Muff, and thought maybe there is something a lot better available. To tell you the truth, I don't have a problem with it, but as everybody admits, it's all a matter of taste.

With your permission Bernie.
Depending on what you are doing compressors vary. If you
want a noticeable compression to amp up your lead guitar
sound and do the normal stuff, you could look at a Pigtronix
Philosophers Tone. It is not the most subtle and true but
its workmanlike for the guitar and one of the few circuits
that are not copies of the MXR or Ross, If you go boutique
there are builders that make great stuff but before you go
there you should become a n FX Anorak, Otaku, Nerd. I
don't use compressors much myself.
If you need a compressor for
recording get an FMR RNC compressor or a Neve Portico or
anything Fritz Doddy tells you to.
Re the WatsonI don't
use any fuzz that scoops mids cause I'll want to put
them back. If they are copying the Shin -E unit Aka Duo
Fuzz or Super fuzz, those are classics. They only ever
worked for me at volume when I could back off the ambienrt
mics. It's all taste.
The best guitar pre - od in my
opinion is the Super Gainiac made by Milos Popvic in
Serbia at MP Custom FX. I cascade parallel or inverse
switch my germanium od - pre with my silicon unit often, I
now use a Germaniac by MP. I also have an extended
hybrid transistor-diode, optical and diode
selectable, octave, boost and sustain unit called
Grunfiac. It is all boutique btw.

Hi Bernie,
I tried to send you this link directly, but it seems that
you no longer have the email
address that I used for you around 4 years ago.
One of the reasons I am considering this pedal is because
the knobs are all on
the front. Do you think I'll be "ok" with
this as opposed to the Wattson FY-6, or should I stay with
your recommendation ?
Also, would you or anyone else care to recommend a current
boutique Compressor / Sustainer pedal that is way better
than the Boss CS-3 (recent vintage) that I already
have.
Thanks for your opinion(s)...

I recommend the Wattson FY-6 Classic Fuzz. I have
one of the originals that was labeled
"Superfuzz".
It looks and sounds exactly like my old bluish-grey
Univox.
I've tried some other Superfuzz clones and, to me,
they
didn't make the grade.
