MXR Blowtorch

Sounds like everything I want. I'll post a review when it comes.

Great choice! Five years ago that was my 1st GREAT fuzz/overdrive (it does both). I love some synthy fuzz, a buzz with massive bass, and before lots of other blended bass fuzz's came out, the Blowtorch was It. I spent a lot of money searching for a replacement for it with something that uses 9 volts, my one power supply...I wouldn't say it's replaced by one pedal, quite a few actually that are in the neighborhood. I won't sell it, it came in handy in the studio on a song I originally wrote using it. I like it better than the Brown Dog at twice the money.

Still using it! Cuts like a knife through mix and is very focused and controlled. Loving its synthy fuzz gated tone.

I love my blowtorch. I watched alot of reviews and there was one guy who did an in depth demo of every sound he could get. Love it so much. Blowtorch is an accurate name for it because when I push it, thats exactly what it sounds like.

I got the pedal, and I'm liking it so far. Could anyone give me some good settings to try out?

Congrats, the Blow Torch is a lot of fun and a great sounding pedal for aggressive tone.
That's why is called the Blowtorch instead of the lullaby I guess.
