So I'm looking for a new fuzz. These are the requirements:
1. Fuzz Face/Tonebender vein/ thick, saturated/clean up w/ volume knob...not maestro/thin or muffy/mid cut.
2 .Works well with Humbuckers without flabbing on the lowend and cuts in the mix.

Stuff I've tried:
FF3.5%- almost there, needs more fuzz/saturation
DAM Drag N' Fly- FF3.5% could get most of the sounds of the Dn'F and a little better at them.
FRF- a little too muffy
stock style Tonebender -too thin/not enough lows
haven't tried a CAF but afraid it will be too thin, don't necessarily need the octave stuff
Analogman Sunface- it was ok, it will keep me wanting..
So any suggestions? Thinking about Trombetta Mini-bone, BJFe SWF/AWF, some sort of great FF pedal?
Thanks!

I know it is nichy, but PPF? I have one, and I get a lot of great tones out of it. More than a FF 3.5%, but not too much where you cannot tame it if need be.

Well, the PPF is probably killer but I'm a little afraid because I am looking for fuzz and I've heard that the PPF is on the line between OD and fuzz...

My go to fuzzes are the AM Sunface nkt275 high gain and the small box Fulltone 70 108C that just came out. I dont play humbuckers, so I don't know how they react, but the 70 might float your boat since you can run it at 18 Volts.

You might consider giving Tommy at Lumpy's Tone Shop a call. I have a killer MKII & MKIII from him and he tuned the MKII to be both fat and dynamic.

The other thing to consider is if you use a buffer in your chain typically a GE fuzz can have radical tone shift/change from non-buffered.

Another vote for the AWF!

I picked up a Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe and it is also a very versatile fuzz that sould be able to sound good with any guitar. It is in the tonebender family, but it is silicon, so it is a more friendly fuzz with buffers and other things that make germanium go crazy.

+1 Sounds like this is what you're looking for!

A good old '69 from fulltone? (first production, not slight return or v2)
Killer sound, it goes from band of gypsyes to Qotsa
