Sign in to disble this ad
I didn't jump on this bandwagon because of the price of the pedal. It sounded cool to me but the price for the fuzz kind of lured me elsewhere. Welp, i had some extra bucks in my pocket, saw a silverburst up in the classifieds and my Tool-fanboy took over. Maybe I'll get a silverburst Les paul one day....
But anyways, what an explosive fuzz this is. Bass friendly as well of course so maybe that's why this pedal is all the rage.
I also loved the sense of humor of Malekko, another part why people love this pedal. The "bling-bling" in my pedal was awesome and I really laughed hard when I saw tic-tac-toe on my circuit board 
Right now, I have to go to work and show off my new "Assmaster" I kept calling it to my coworkers. What odd looks I got
In conclusion, this is a very cool fuzz with easy to dial in sounds. From a little grit to over the top FUZZ.

Compared side-by-side to the regular germanium I got more high end sizzle out of it. This combined with the grunt-ier voice of the double germ really nails something great in my opinion. |

I'm really curious about getting an expression mod done so I can slowly add the fuzz in my filter loop. |

No matter what I've got I seem to switch it on some days and it doesn't do what I'm expecting. I think I'd be a really bad pedal-reviewy person because I've always got predefined ideas of what I want stuff to do. |
