For me, the Analogman King Of Tone is a really versitile and powerful boost / drive pedal. Costs a lot though.

My signal path:
Tuner > DejaVibe > WAH Pedal > K.O.T. > RAT > Klon > Chorus > A.Delay > Volume Pedal
Rocker 30 Combo
AD5 Combo

For a stand alone fuzz pedal, I'd try the Electro-Harmonix Graphic Fuzz EQ. You can achieve a plethora of different fuzz colors with this one, considering it has on board sustain and dynamic levels. Besides that, it's got a seven band EQ built right into it. You can find the sweet spot on this pedal pretty easily. Just my opinion.

Just tried out the following:

Wampler Plextortion / Wampler Cranked AC - These two were voiced very similar w/ the Cranked AC being like a low gain version of the Plextortion to my ears. I didn't really care for either of these. Too fizzy for me.

Wampler Ego Compressor - Nice compressor. What are these good for again? (kidding)

Wampler Pinnacle - The best of the four pedals. Pretty darn flexible. I'm not done messing around w/ this one just yet. Maybe not for me, but certainly worth a look.

Let me just say that the Wampler stuff seems to be top notch quality. Very clean work and very cool that I got to 'try before I buy.' THANKS ERIC!

Keeley modded TS808 - Not much better than the regular TS808.

Keeley modded TS9 - Same as above. Neither one of these live up to the hype IMHO.

Keeley modded Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive - meh.

I have yet to come across a Keeley pedal that I liked. Just me I guess.

Prescription Electronic Dual Tone - bleh.

Marshall Guv'nor 2 - Too metal - metallic - scooped sounding.

Boss Blues Driver - Better than a lot of these, but not great.

Older Fulltone Fulldrive II - Better than the newer Mosfet one I tried the other day, but still has that harsh, sterile Fulltone sound to it.

I re-bought the Flying Tomato that I returned. It's a neat fuzz, what can I say.

I haven't found anything better than the Crunch Box at this point. I do want to try the DLS and the Okko Diable though. The search continues...

FUZZZ....I have fallen "back" in love with my protone hustler. I put an MXR Q-zone in front of it coupled with a 72 Tele deluxe tuned AADGBE through a 600 watt Genz Benz Shuttle and 2 Traynor 15"ers........DOOOOOOOOM! :twisted:

Pinnacle 2 through the Twin is just the ticket I was looking for...
