Description:

Description:
Thick germanium fuzz with a clean-ish blend and lots of low end.
Great for bassists, guitarists, and everyone else...
A saturated sound with unique harmonic structure.

Controls:
• Clean: A not quite clean blend with a bit of a boost. (you bought it for fuzz, though, remember?)
• Dirty: Lots of volume from the fuzzed signal...
• Fuzz: Alters texture/amount of fuzzzz.
• Shape: Alters filter shaping: woofy lows to piercing highs.
• Shape switch (heart/star): Changes the frequency response of the shape control in the treble region.
Up: Thick high-mids with a volume boost
Down: Sizzling highs
• Internal trimpots: Three internal tirmpots to further shape the sound! All of these are multi-turn trimmers
which means you need to turn them a lot--this is useful...
Volume trim: Adjust the maximum volume of the external knob to change the sweep. (WARNING! MAX VOLUME CAN BLOW SPEAKERS UP!)
Bias trim: Adjust the bias of the second transistor. Helps to cancel noise or get more feedback and to change overall smoothness or grittiness.
Feedback trim: Adjust the amount of feedback happening in the circuit. Go from gated/quiet to hummm and feedback

Pros:	Many options with changing tone, fuzz amounts, and volume.
Cons:	Should have there own website

A great fuzz pedal. Has all the options you need to get the tone and all the other fuzz effects you need. Between the knobs and the inside trim pots you can sculpture the sound you like. Looks great too. Nice design without all the exotic paintings some of the others have (although some are done well). Love the Mustard color which I purchased but the blue and red look great too. I think it is well worth the price.
For the sound you get its pretty comparable to the higher priced fuzz pedals. Also sounds good with both active and passive basses. Its a great choice especially if you want to retain the bottom end. In addition I like the way you can add or lower the fuzz amounts as well as your clean signal.
