What fuzz pedal does Ty Segall use?

What AMP does Ty Segall use?
He uses a Fuzz War, as well, and he plays through a Music Man 4×10 amp, and a Fender Twin head through a 4×12 cabinet. Live, I play my Fender Quad Reverb and a Music Man head through a 4×12 cabinet. We both play through two amps.

Fuzz pedals use extreme clipping to turn your audio signal into what’s essentially a square wave. This creates massive amounts of harmonic saturation, but it diminishes the intensity of the fundamental—which, in audio terms, refers to the note you’re actually playing.
What’s the difference between overdrive and fuzz?
