KNOBS Master, Touch, and More controls; Pre-EQ and Post-EQ switches

SOUNDS Smooth and rich sounding germanium fuzz with sustain for days. Very touch responsive and capable of everything from glistening clean sounds (with whiffs of ring-modulator timbres) to industrial strength rock/metal tones with strong low end. Notes go easily into feedback at higher settings of the Touch (sensitivity) and More controls, while the Post- EQ and Pre-EQ switches place the tone stack before or after the fuzz for a different feel and sonic vibe.

WHO’S IT FOR? Not for those who spelunk for weirdo fuzz effects, but, wow, what a killer assortment of rock rhythm and lead tones this thing kicks down! Go here if you seek a ballsy sounding fuzz that readily accommodates different styles and guitars.
