The fuzz control is more about texture rather than the amount of fuzz present. They're notorious for being a little low in level, which is why I have included the second option with the boost stage after the filter (last stage of a Big Muff).
Instead of the usual demo video, this probably demonstrates it best and it may be one of the most famous uses of the Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz. The Jesus and Mary Chain, Just Like Honey from their 1985 album Psychocandy.

1985 being the dark years when fuzz was not considered cool. Cool was a fluro Jackson strat with humbuckers and a floyd rose, possibly teamed up with every Boss pedal ever made (which wasn't that many at the time), along with mandatory big hair.
