Recommendation for a Germanium fuzz?

[Raymond]

I have 2 silicon fuzz boxes, a EQD Cloven Hoof and Scarab Deluxe, both are really good but feeling I want a taste of germanium., something goes well with PRS. I don't like fuzz that sounds crazy, something thick with body, not screechy sounding.

I'm a germanium guy so I like Fuzz Faces and Tonebenders.

My favorite fuzz is the Analog Man Sun Bender - which is a Mk1.5 (the best tonebender version, IMO MkII's are waaaay overrated) reproduction. It sounds killer. Very syrupy and thick but has some bite to it on the high end.

My wife just got me a Wampler Velvet Fuzz for Christmas (we had ours early), just got it yesterday and still trying it out, as it's my first fuzz... but definitely liking it so far. I would be happy to keep you updated if it's one that interests you.

My favorite current germanium fuzz remains the Fulltone '69. It's a very authentic late 60s-inspired piece of gear, sounds great, and the recent versions are small enough to take up very little space on a pedalboard. It's also well made. Just a classic, useful, all-around fuzz.

I'm pretty sure Forge Effects uses germanium. I've played a few and really like them. The wiring is artwork.

What kind of stuff do you play? Do you prefer stability or character?

I like leads and actually found the fuzz I have been looking for....which I didn't know it was a fuzz.
