akai g drive

anybody used the akai g drive?
I'm in the market for a fuzz that i can use predominantly with a guitar, but also with a bass should the occassion come up
Bass wise I have a Precision and a 3 band Stingray, but it will be used mainly with a guitar

i've heard the g drive is supposed to be quite versatile, although slightly above my current budget. I've also been recommended on here to try a zoom ultra fuzz, but these seem to be quite difficult to get hold of

also thinking of

little big muff
fuzz factory (possibly a bit on the expensive side)
RAT

Guitar rig, I use a clean/dirty valve amp and AB into another dirty valve amp and also have a keeley SD-1 so the overdrives are covered, i just want a sort of nasty fuzz now - i'd probably use it as nasty bass fuzz as well into my abm 300 (which does the sort of overdriven thing quite well)
any other suggestions - or what have you? PM me if you might be getting rid of something

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='26884' date='Jul 4 2007, 10:45 AM']the large beaver sounds about the best to my ears - take it it would be suitable for guitar as well as bass and active as well as passive bass?
does the clip of the BYOC give a fair indication of the range of tones available? Don't suppose you've got any guitar playing clips? :)[/quote]

Active bass on that and it shows alot of the tones available especially when I play with the tone knob on the pedal.

If you search Youtube you can find quite a few Large Beaver vids where it's being used on guitar.
