Has anyone tried MXR's Brown Acid Fuzz pedal? There are a multitude of fuzz pedals, as we all know, but this one has really caught my attention based on a few vids on youtube and reviews from various sources.

MXR Brown Acid Fuzz

I also Just got one and it is a very versatile Fuzz. I have and had many different fuzz Pedals and this one is a keeper. It does not lose the low end and does not sound like a swarm of angry bees. It is a deeper less abrasive sounding fuzz. You can turn the tone way up and make it more aggressive sounding but it still keeps most of the lows. If you listen to the Local H song bound for the floor Where the fuzz kicks in that is sort of the sound area of this fuzz
I'll echo the comments above. It really is a home run of a pedal. Thick, huge fuzz that cuts and keeps the low end and attack.
Just some noodling with my P bass and the brown acid. Clean first then all pedal. Settings are pictured in the track. Basically high up on the fuzz knob and pretty low on the tone.
Another noodling. This pedal cuts and has lows. I love it.
Just wanted to point out the tone control is a bit odd on this one: seems to only effect lows, highs are more or less fixed. Unlike a muff, I was running this one with tone fully CCW; turning it up only reduces bass. I put it up for sale in the classifieds as I desire treble adjustment. It sounds fantastic, otherwise!
I just picked one up from Reverb and plugged it in today. I was in love within 10 seconds! I'll echo what everyone said above! From what I understand, this is a limited run pedal.....I would suggest to anyone who uses fuzz in their Chan to give this a ride. The other guys in the band definitely approved. It's a keeper! My MXR Bass Fuzz Delux is off the board.
Yup. This pedal is very special. I wonder why it is a limited edition or water they call it. I have an MXR Vintage Octave on the way..... I can't wait to pair those up!
Yup, I just got one.
Wasn’t too sure on it until I got to practice and heard it in the mix.
To me it sounds okay when jamming but amazing in a band context.

I snagged one after reading this thread and I'm really enjoying it. Tremendous low end. I've also found it responds really well to voltage sag.
