This thread has made me rethink my pedal board, and that 2 heavy fuzz, a Treble Booster, and a high gain distortion are too many for me, and cutting back to the Treble Booster and just one of the two heavy fuzz pedals or the distortion is a good idea for the tones I am really after. The Treble Booster and Plasma Coil Fuzz stack together really well for a nasty thick high gain distortion sound too.
As for whose tones I use as a benchmark, they're all over the place depending on what mood I'm going for.
