Enclosure reminds me of arbiter jumbo fuzz- big muff with germ noise gate.

I really like that Tone Bender style case!
I like fuzz that produces nasty, crazy, amp-fixin-to-blow chaos.

Zoom UF-01 Ultra Fuzz
This pedal has two different fuzz voicings, one modeled after the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, and the other
modeled after the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face, and the UF-01’s Color knob allows you to blend between the two.
Frantone Peachfuzz Fuzztone
The pedal contains not one transistor! In fact, it contains three ICs, two of which are
power amplifiers and one of which is a precision Texas Instruments op-amp of very high quality.

Fender Blender also; I'd really love if someone could make a modern take of if.
Jext Telez make a Dizzy Tone, and usually offer them in runs of 50 or 25. I have a JT Dizzy V4 that absolutely floors me. I also have the matching Range Lord to couple with it. It's spot on Elka tone.
Also Stonefly makes a much rarer version of the Dizzy Tone called the Grizzly Fuzz. I haven't played one yet, but it's on my short list and Marc is a phenomenal builder. I also see that Ghost Effects has a Dizzy Tone build as well that looks spectacular. Definitely under appreciated...

Re: Most underappreciated fuzz pedals?
Mid-Fi Glitch Computer had a beast fuzz lurking within, someone at Mid-Fi actually recognized and stripped out the Glitch for a build they call Non-Computer. It's a speaker melter. Unity gain is a spec above 0 (0-10). I have a lot of fun with it on an attenuated Swart amp... but it's way to massive going through my Mesa. I'm still a big fan of the original Glitch build.
