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?

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...

If you are looking for fuzzes with blends here are a few.

Katana Sound Supper Bass fuzz
Devi Ever Year of the rat
Malekko B:assmaster
Dwarfcraft Devices Hair of the dog
MXR Blowtorch
Chunk Brown Dog
Wounded Paw Attack Goat
Smallsound/Bigsound Team Awesome Fuzz Machine
EHx Bass Big Muff (set 50/50 mode, not variable)
Earthbound Supercollider
Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B
Prescription Electronics Depth Charge

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.
One day... one day.

i just got my team awesome fuzz machine yesterday and it is loud!!!

the clean volume is a great feature and you can really get some great stuff with the fuzz in/cv in boost phase inverter flip switch...

...and you took the VFM?! Gah!

I do like blends on some fuzzes, I am a bass player.

I’d buy one Eric.

anyone wanna start a petition to see if Eric will put the Wizard Fountain back into production?

Lets not forget about the Truly Beautiful Disaster...

That's it, grab your pitchforks and lets go bang down Eric's door! Consider me signed up.

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.
