the El Grande looks great - just watched the demo.
do you gate the fuzz or put a noise suppressor in between the fuzz and the filter?
the BODs got a great sound! - are you not having the noise issue i was getting [i]at all[/i]? (its pretty subtle)...

No noise suppressor or gate - I just run the El Grande into the M82.
You do have to keep an eye on the settings but it works really well for me at least and apart from slight tracking issues with the BOD I never experienced any other unwanted effects such as the noise issue you were experiencing.
Can't wait to get my new one tomoro. Wish I'd never sold my original now!

I also listened to the El Grande and the new Bass Fuzz Deluxe and was surprised to find I'd much rather have the El Grande, is it just me or that deluxe fuzz really sounds like poo? I just can't find a review with an acceptable sound, let alone a great sound!

I couldn't agree more. What with looking for a fuzz pedal I was really excited about the new Bass Fuzz Deluxe (I really like MXR gear!) and was toying with the idea of giving the El Grande a miss in favour of this but soooooo glad I didn't. Like you say; it's not good so I'm glad I went with the El Grande. Another great MXR pedal IMHO!
