You should try some Fuzz Face-variants or maybe Ibanez FZ7? FZ7 is my secret weapon when distorting contact mic signals. It has an good EQ and the damage switch is simply ingenious.

Will look in to that. Another Fuzz i have been looking at is Boss FZ 5, Does anyone have experiences with that pedal? I heard thats also a pedal that isnt that rough for fuzz.

Well i don't know anything else about that FZ5 besides that it is digital. I'd be cautious concerning digital fuzzes because fuzzes essentially belong into analog realm with their "flaws" and inconsistancies.

Dreadbox disorder is a great fuzz with built-in filter.

Seconded! The filter is also great. It really goes from about gazillion hertz to around zero hertz, endless fun!

EQD/Boris Hizumitas been a go-to lately, tone has a gnarly sweep from screech to sludge.

I don't mess with digital fuzzes unless I'm looking for actual digital artifacts (rare).

That Hizumitas is interesting, but i'm bit partial to Big Muff-style of fuzzes / distortions. That severe mid scoop is an bitch to tame!

Truth! I use a dinky little Tube Screamer clone to flatten it out sometimes, otherwise just some EQ. I'm a nut for Boris so my biases are at play as well.
