Mikey, it's like you're reading my mind! I have spent a huge amount of time lately thinking about exactly this!
Do you find the buffer in the Cutlass is an issue with fuzz compared to other guitars?
I hear you both. I hated fuzz for a LONG time, but now I love it. The Cutlass is savage with fuzz! My favorites are:
1. Montreal Assembly - Your and You're
2. Darkglass - Duality Fuzz
3. Fairfield Circuitry - Unpleasant Surprise
These are all just nasty and wonderful. I prefer the older version of the "Your and You're", but either are face-melting.
I was never a fuzz guy, but I've really been liking the Source Audio LA Lady / Kingmaker. It's digital (so impedance is a non-issue), and there's pretty much every kind of fuzz in there. Sounds amazing. Plus you get one pedal to replace all of your boosts/ODs/fuzzes/underdrives/etc.
