(Originally written by Sebpoto/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Digital fuzz pedal that simulates three legendary fuzzes. Standard Boss housing, input, output, 9-volt PSU or battery operation.
Controls:
-Level (to boost the signal if needed)
-Fuzz to adjust the distortion (at the center detent you've got the maximum distortion of the original fuzzes. Above that point you get a mega-fuzz);
-Mode selector to choose the fuzz model. F = Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face; M = Maestro; O = Roger Mayer Octavia.
UTILIZATION
Ultra easy... Boss....
SOUND QUALITY
The COSM modeling technology reproduces the typical Hendrix sound (Face model), the very distorted mids of "Satisfaction" (Maestro model) or the original Hendrix solo sound (Octavia). It's amazing!
(Tip: the Octavia provides great results when the gain is set at the minimum and you play high notes.)
OVERALL OPINION
It's true that digital modeling won't ever have the same character as the analog devices but it's very authentic!
