My favorite setting on the Fix'd Fuzz actually bypasses the two fuzz circuits entirely: just Boost and Filter.
When I dime both the Boost and Filter and leave Fuzz 1 and 2 off, I get a great overdrive/distortion tone that is articulate and open (a great growl sound), but still has some fuzz characteristics on the decay. It's unlike any other fuzz, overdrive or distortion I've played.
Now I'm on a search for other pedals that have similar open and uncompressed fuzz/overdrive/distortion hybrid tones.
Does anyone else love this setting? Can anyone with more pedal experience than me suggest pedals that might give me similar results? I've been looking into the Dr Scientist The Elements, SmallSound/BigSound Fuck Overdrive, and Skreddy Screwdriver Deluxe. Can anyone compare these to the Boost/Filter section of the Fix'd Fuzz from personal experience?
(FYI, I'm using a Tele on bridge pu through a Fender blackface-style amp)
