Favourite OD/Distortion/Fuzz sound on a song?

For bass fuzz I just love what Robert Sledge does with it.

Actually, rather than link to Ben Folds Five's old stuff, here's two tunes from the reunion album they released last year, which is surprisingly ace throughout:

and for lead stuff (around 2m40):

And for the record I went and saw them on their last tour and my god Robert Sledge is twice the bassist he used to be. He cracked out the upright and the synths as well as his old trusty fuzz bass guitar, really inspirational stuff.

I'm just gonna start this off with a modern dirty bass classic!

I do enjoy playing this with my Team Awesome Fuzz Machine:

And this one with a Boss ODB-3 which is what they use live too:

He uses the Peavey and an Acoustic 450, but THAT sound doesn't come from the Acoustic. John K's example shows that off: [url="http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/360preamp/360_pedal-01-2.jpg"]http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/360preamp/360_pedal-01-2.jpg[/url]

I think it must come from a combination of the two, but I've never heard the Peavey so I'd very much like to!...

And one more, I find this band a bit hit or miss, but Nick Beard's tone is punishingly punchy

This is a great sound, and from a modded vintage rat as well! Great track, but the rest of the album's definitely pretty lame...Juturna was good though!
