Looking for cheap Fuzz pedal recommendations

What's Hot
DrBobDrBob Frets: 3005
So after years of swerving yer actual 'Fuzz' pedals in favour of OD's & Distortions I'm finally coming to terms with the reality that a lot of my favourite tones have that Fuzz thing going on !
The ongoing Dave Gilmour obsession is no doubt a large part of it but the Frijid PInk version of 'House Of The Rising Sun' came on the radio the other day and I loved the fuzzed out sound on that.

So yes, any recommendations as to whats out there that's a good value first fuzz ?

    A couple of the Mooer ones are far better than they should be.

    As @simonk says, the Mooer ones are well worth checking out. I've got the Germaniun Grey Faze (which is based on the Ge Fuzz Face) which is an excellent fuzz pedal and can be had for £50 from most shops - although for some reason Strings Direct think £65 is a reasonable price :confounded:

    Thanks for the suggestions, wisdoms awarded to all !
    Particularly taken with the Donner/Mooer/Rowin/Valeton options as the small form factor is very appealing

    You can add the Blue Faze (silicon Fuzz Face) and Triangle Buff (Triangle Big Muff copy) to the list of good Mooer fuzzes. You can generally pick them up cheap from ebay too. 
    The Buff is nice and thick and sounds close enough to a real Big Muff without being a pain in the arse to put on a pedalboard!
