I have the BYOC Large beaver (Big Muff Triangle clone) and a proco rat side by side on my board... and as they have been saying BigK.. The Proco rat can clean up nicely and get dirty and fuzzy almost to the Muff sounds.. But the Muff is dirty period.. least for me... a nice dirty.. but wont clean up for just over drive... the Rat seems to be the way to go for Fuzz/overdrive.. great pedal.. just not the fuzz of a muff..
Also.. the Boss BD-2 is on my board... now it has a great sound also.. just not all that distorted.. great for clean/mild overdrive.. use it on a clean setting to round out the Muff.. My Bad Monkey has come off the board... but has alot of sounds , just didn't have enough powercords..then theres the TS family of pedals and clones...
My vote for what you asked in the first post... would be the ProCo Rat

About the little big muff.. I heard it and I can tell u guys that it really sounds different compared to a "regular" Muff. Making it short, it sounds less fuzzy and more like regular distortion maybe... its different, have that in mind.
I have a E-H double Muff, you can find a sample of it on Youtube. Maybe thats a good option, but I recommend only for valve amps. u can get distortion and overdrive tones from it on a let's say an epi valve jr. amp, and cleans really well using the volume pot, I mean really really well, and it leaves a hint of compression to your clean tone thats just sweet. definitely not as much gain as a Big Muff, but warmer.
