    disadvantages:
    only does one trick.
    muddy for chording.
    russian one isn't true bypass and sucks tone when off

    advantages:
    that one trick is a great sound
    goof for soloing
    USA version is true bypass

    the muff probably won't be able to do it all for you. give it a try though with the sustain rolled most of the way down and it might do some of what you're after.

    the muff makes a good second distortion but it's rarely used as a main one.

    For the stuff you want to do, a DS-1 is probably the most versatile. Plus its hella cheap.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Good Range too on the DS-1's. Look at the BD-2 blues driver as well. Cranked they get fuzzy. The DS-1's are hella cheap on Ebay and BD-2's go for around 70 pretty cheap for a versitle overdrive.

    THe Pro Co Rat is good and in the same vein.

    and here's the link to the Super Fuzz (updated cheaper version from black cat. to see the original search ebay or the used at music toyz.

    Analogman also sells the black cat superfuzz. It's exactly the same circuit without the "junk" read "cool" slide switch.

    Fucking cool shirts man.

    This is also the fuzz the Beastie Boys used to record Sabotage.

    See the Analogman website http://www.analogman.com/blackcat.htm for more info on the beasties use of this pedal
