So I’m relatively new to fuzz. So far I have a Ge fuzz face, and an EQD hizumitas.
I play mostly low gain, but I actually prefer the sound of the hizumitas, especially when I roll the guitar volume way way back. I pretty much have it set to a tad above unity, everything on 0.
I’m thinking there has to be a muff that will let me reach those lower gain tones that are just out of reach with the hizumitas, without having to roll back to 4 on guitar, and turn off some other drives, as it’s sort of impractical with my current set up.
I’ll probably be pushing it with a ts9, if I must. But if there is one that has a bit more clarity and note definition, then perhaps I won’t need to? I’ll be using it for rhythm, alot of major/minor 1 5 8 3 arps, with some analog delay. Maybe some lead tones. With the hizumitas rolled back, I get this really nice woofy, smooth, “controlled” smooth woolyness that sits behind my playing, rather than the usual wall of fuzz or straight smooth distortion.
So far I have done a bit of research on the green russian, civil war muff, eqd hoof, and the frantone peach fuzz. I’m just a bit overwhelmed, and not too versed in muff circuits, or fuzz in general.
I’ll prob end up copping a clone of whatever I decide.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated…perhaps I’m not even looking for a muff? Lol

Thanks for reading!
So far in my pedal journey I’ve had 1 complete board, then I followed a 1 in 1 out policy to upgrade everything via reverb, while also trying out as many cheap clones of dirt pedals as I could. I’ve been playing forever, and I know what I wanna do, just slowly finding the right stuff, cause only been doing the pedal thing for like 1.5 years now (:
Ts9 was maybe my first pedal, and i ended up taking it off while trying other stuff. I’ve just come full circle and put it back on, and i missed it. It does just what I need atm. I get why it’s gets tiresome. It can hurt my ears, it hits that frequency for me, but I’m mostly writing now, so it’s a perfect low gainer for cutting thru over my progressions.
Thanks for you help!
