However the Wampler Velvet Fuzz sounds great in this demo:
Had good results with the Boss FZ2 mode 1 - Lunar Module Deluxe and Fairfield 4-eyes.
It's tight and defined, soars for solo's and does the cool early muse style riffs with ease, as well as full thunderous and saturated chords. Really is the absolute best I've tried.
I'll caveat this with the fact that it's a stacked Muff, so it's not traditional in that sense...it includes a Power Booster circuit so makes it pop out in the mix and really gives it the mojo, IMO.

Although i have a Big Muff Tone Wicker on my board at the moment which is great .. nice and heavy with sustain for days
In its infancy it was THE way to make an amp sound overdriven or more aggressive and wasn't used with the preponderance of other FX like we have today. It was in fact designed to emulate the sound of Brass instruments with the guitar!The Univibe was prob the move towards a more saturated sound trend.
So, you can use and enjoy fuzz for that slightly on the edge of breakup tone as long as you have a bright setting on amp and guitar. Then it is just a Distortion.
This is the best sounding bunch of Fuzz tones I have heard
I do think they're best for sleazy nasty lead lines though.
It's a Germanium fuzz, 3 knob so it has a tone control and it will, if carefully set do a really nice smooth (Floydish) sound as well as a dirty raspy fuzz and a lot in between.
With mine, all 3 controls seem to work together so move one and the others will change a bit too, there's a lot for me to get out of this.
The switch is awesome and it's built really well, i'm massively happy with it.
The Clusterfuzz is an amazing looking pedal too but this one i have was £60 used from a very good friend and i can't justify buying another fuzz pedal now. For the times i use it, this is pretty much perfect for me.
Hope that maybe helps a bit.

Bedroom guitarists struggle with lots of fuzz variants, and some are just downright unruly (yes that's you, Fuzz Factory sitting off my board in a sulk).
Muffroom Cloud / Fallout Cloud plays more nicely........but the 'shake your bones' is on the money.
Bad for the neighbours.
