Canterbury Scene and fuzz pedals

Always difficult to tell, as a lot of distortion can come from the amp as well. 

That's from 1972, so you've got everything from Fuzz Face's to Electro Harmonix's Big Muff. I'd personally bet on it being the Big Muff Pi, they were used a lot by bassists, but - well, difficult to tell. 

I tend to build my own pedals - usually Fuzz Dog ones - quite a few to chose from here if you're feeling experimental and have a soldering iron. ;-)

You guys may already have familiarised yourselves with this thread: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26649
In case you haven’t then read on fine gents!

A lot of Canterbury sounding bands from all over used a guitar amp for the organ so as they could use wah-wahs, flangers and other such tomfoolery.
The specific pedal in use on Genius Hans? Go fish

Edit: the above as well as lowry organs, farfisa through a fuzz box and fuzz pedals (no specifics!) were the things I picked up from that thread

Does anyone know what fuzz pedals were used in the Canterbury Scene? For the organ sounds, but also for the guitar and bass sounds. In particular, the bass fuzz on Moving Gelatine Plates' The World of Genius Hans.
