Why don't more fuzzmakers add the option of adding some of your clean signal to the fuzz? This is the thing that I enjoy the most about the idea of the Mellowtone Wizard Fountain (I don't own one, so I can't say for certain how great it is). I want a pedal that has two knobs: Clean & Fuzz. Is that too much to ask?

Re: Wizard Fountain
Well, a decent amount do (TAFM, Malekko, etc)...about an amount proportional to the people who want that feature! 
Blending in a clean signal is great for bass, but imo it usually just sounds weird for guitar. So I think you see that feature more on fuzzes meant to be used almost specifically for bass (especially if we're talking a fuzz with 2-3 controls...a pedal with 5+ knobs can get away with it since there are plenty of other knobs for guitarists to tweak). Just my assessment!

Inless you are running another dirt box into it 
to get a layered sound.
But then I'm a bassist so I always look at and for fuzzes with blends, and no, loop-blender pedals are not the same, the buffers in them always muck shit up for me in some way...

Re: Wizard Fountain
I've been drooling over the SuperCollider and the B:Assmaster for some time now but they're out of my price range for the moment.

Re: Wizard Fountain
I have one of these and the "Clean" blend is a little bit exaggerated. It's still awfully fuzzy even at the most "clean" setting. I'd liken it more to adding string/pick dynamics and clarity on the "clean" side and more compression/fuzz on the fuzzier side. Awesome pedal. My favorite Mellowtone and I use it extensively. It's my main distortion tone.
