Much appreciated, great video and that pedal sounds ace, certainly a contender.
I don’t really have the vocabulary to describe tone but it sounds like the Matcha is at the boomier/woofier end of the spectrum(to my ears at least).
I rather like a tighter/brighter fuzz sound, think recent fu manchu, white dog etc as well as the wild scratchy lead sounds like Isiah from earthless gets. A little doom is good but not looking for full blown sludge or chainsaw tones…I know Bob from fu uses a Creepy Fingers which is made by his bandmates company and very much above budget.
Seems all the cheap pedals review fairly well just a case of deciphering which original they’re a copy of.
@RonAsheton yep, I imagine there’s far too many potential variables to give a definitive answer.

Yeah, the tone you’re getting can be wildly different due to pickups/amp/playing, all sorts of factors can change it massively. Some fuzzes I’ve tried just don’t work for me despite them sounding amazing in other people’s hands / setups.
Unfortunately that means it’s very easy to keep collecting more and more fuzz pedals to see what they can do…

I've got his Tym pedal, the Seaweed, it's a Mk3 Tonebender on one side and a Triangle Big Muff with a mid boost switch on the other. Sounds great but very easy to emulate with much cheaper pedals.

For doom on a budget, this seems to be a winner:

Pretty much the only time I’ll watch an Andertons video is when it’s Oz doing doom stuff. The Matcha Cream is a tremendous doomy muff style pedal and beat out some very expensive / famous fuzzes.
