I just checked and they're still kickin' at...

I've got a Lovetone Big Cheese Fuzz which is finding it's way to the 
center of 
my mix more and more... Cool Curds control in mode 3 which gives great 
farty 
trumpet like performance. Mode 1 = Big bottom / scooped mids, Mode 2 = 
Punched 
up mids... (like this one a lot!) I found this fuzz on some settings 
pretty 
similar to my old Z-Vex Fuzz Factory... but it seems a lot easier to dial 
(has a
tone control).

Regarding non-guitar sounds... The Prescription Electronics Experience 
with 
*just* the octave on and some string banging creates a vicious wall of 
beautiful
noise... Add the nifty swell effect over a bed of the last for a truly 
insectoid
event.

Also at the 3MS site, (Dann Green's pedal enterprise) there's a link to 
his 
*other* Soundshimmer page. Two units are offered there. The NoiseSwasher 
Fuzz 
and the TriPico Generator (or some such thing). The NoiseSwasher looks 
great and
I've got a custom one on order w/a built in LFO on the HiEQ w/CV control 
over 
depth....(although now I'm considering moving that to speed). It will also 
have 
a "self-oscillate" mode. Anyway, it should be a great noisemaker as well. 
Check 
'em out!
