I've had some pretty good luck with the Muff Fuzz I built. Basically is a Fuzz Face using Silicon. Just pick up an EHX Double Muff and you can get huge saturated semi-muff tones, or great and juicy fuzz face tones!
Seriously! That's just outrageous how much it ends up being. For the amount in shipping alone to all of the places, and not to mention the time he'll spend, he might as well just save up and sell stuff to get a different brand's derivative of the Tonebender. Earthquaker devices has an awesome one!
