I almost forgot. For the money, the sheer availability, and the awesome big boxes, the JHS legends of fuzz series is PERFECT to try some good shit.

Crimson = based on a Red Army Muff
Bender = based on a 73 Mk3
Mary K = Based on a Kay Fuzz.
Supreme = Based on a 72 Super Fuzz
Plug in = based on a boss tone. Similar to a Fuzzrite, but less finnicky, and does octave sounds up the neck.
Berkeley = based on the Fresh Fuzz. no fucking idea what this is.
Smiley = based on some piece of shit fuzz face probably. This will suck like every fuzz face.

I really dig Deep Trip pedals.
They're between US$150 and $200 used.
I have their Stormy Monday (OD), a Hell Bender fuzz, a PageBender fuzz and their Onça-Pintada treble boost.
There aren't many OD's that are better than the Stormy Monday and I really like the HellBender.
The Onça-Pintada is a good treble boost but I still like the Naga Viper and PLX FX Bion Boost better.

The HellBender and PageBender sound pretty damn good... they both have a Bias knob (low battery effect) that I don't use.
Here's a comparison vid...
