This little guy was on the board at BPL. 
For all those who disliked the El Grande and Blowtorch, brace yourselves. They hit it out of the park with this one! The tone reminds me of a Tonebender, but with a separate clean volume and minus the exorbitant price tag. |

Some Tonebender-esque circuits can sound pretty crushing without any blend at all, and some others sound meh without the blend. I hate the sound of clean blend, so that's the money question for me. |

It's muffy with more of a midrange focus than that good old "Big Muff scoop". |

Color me interested. |

If I weren't overloaded with compressors already, I'd have that one too. Now, this fuzz box. It's a good time to be a bass player.

| | | | Nice! I actually dig the blowtorch tone, at least on 12V! This looks interesting! Now we can only wait for another fancy useless MXR video of the pedal, but with some great musicianship no doubt, I'm guessing Bobby Vega.

Tool fans are gonna love this one, btw. |

Have you messed around with the MXR-108 at all, and is this roughly in that same ballpark, I assume? |
