Axe-Master
I've found there is a bit of a rose colored glasses effect when I think back to my hardware fuzz pedals. I certainly have my ideal fuzz tones in my head, as well all do, but in reality the pedals I had never really sounded that good.
I recently bought a bunch of hardware fuzz, such as the Dunlop mini FF, 6 was 9 fuzz, mini Lunar Module, etc, and they really didn't sound that amazing, or at least not how I remembered them. In fact, I could pretty much match the tone when I just kept a/b'ing with the Axe.
Only difference I really couldn't reproduce is that some, the Ge in particular, cleaned up a little better, but pretty minor overall
In my opinion it's not that the Axe fuzz is bad, it's that those album fuzz tones are just hard to nail, even with real pedals
