Sign in to disble this ad
if you go to the link and look at the videos on the page and scroll down a few you'll see it http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM08/ it's a great fuzz and i think it's rather more vesatile than most of the bass fuzz's i have seen IMO. but it sure sounds great

Am I blind or stupid? I can't see the video in the list...

Ignore that - just found it - it's in the list to the right of the video pane - I was looking in the user picks below!

It really is, I got rid of my blowtorch because I didnt use it in my band, but this is much smaller, so I could find an excuse for it to chill on my board :-p

OK, I'll be the first to say that I wasn't impressed by the tone. Now, I am not some fuzz guru, but, to me, most of the sweep on the tone control was useless. Most of the video was muddy. Maybe it was the mic on the camera, but I doubt it. I do like the fact that it's supposed to be $100 street. Too many pedals are overpriced, IMO of course.

I like how it sounds, but it isn't blowing me away like my Blowtorch has.

I'll still need to check it out in person.
