Thanks Guys!
I changed the Pepper spray from Steve Albini specs to the stock specs. Agree with the above post that the Albini specs are more overdrive-y than all out fuzz. In fact I found that I had to dime the Harmonics knob to get anything interesting to happen. With the stock specs its much fuzzier. It still does the overdrive thing with the Harmonics control around 9:00. And with the Harmonics control turned all the way up it has a super fuzzy, super compressed sound. There is a sweet spot around noon where there is plenty of fuzz, but it still has a kind of touch sensitive overdrive layer beneath.
Definitely quite happy with the pepper spray now. Its more of a round, hairy fuzz, compared to the Mastotron, which is a crunchy velcro fuzz.
