    HUGE pedal fuzz.elle looks very solid

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use sound is found in two seconds, the potentiometers are very reactive.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Very high quality sound but do not ask him to be a versatile fuzz is just, if not steer you to a graphic that takes fuzz distortion while: overdrive, fuzz, distortion, and even saturated fat ... .

    OVERALL OPINION

    Fuzz lovers will be in heaven! But if you tend distortion look elsewhere!

    Does everything said.

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple, not you do more, three buttons and then voila.
    Manuel unnecessary and nonexistent elsewhere.

    SOUND QUALITY

    THE sound fuzz, dirty wish. Not to be confused with distortion, the sound is to get dirty between the distortion and overdrive you could say.
    I find it not versatile.

    Finally I used few positions, the sound is difficult to operate, ancessite a lot of adaptation over his guitar, his playing and his amp. Beginners to get used to this new lment in the chain, but hey you get used to it quickly.

    So easy to use, but hey, there's only 3 buttons ....

    Three buttons. Volume is not a gain or a Level: it alters the sound of the fuzz.
    Tone filter the high frequencies not blame unless the changes are sinusoidal and non-linear, which is quite disconcerting. The problem is Sustain button: arch too much!
    See Chapter Son.

    UTILIZATION

    Not easy to find the sound. This is the first time I have to battle with a) the amp (vol + EQ), 2) theft and EQ of the guitar, 3) the three buttons on the muff, and 4) other possible effects! .
    So unless we play, we spent long minutes a set ..

    I need a muff TS10 output by the amplifier to recover the frequencies lost. The galley.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Walk much better with single coils style Stat. Signals do not like active style Variax .. What is violence Gave Button Sustain: I am almost always a zero and ALREADY is hell, especially the agreements, and am forced to reduce the theft of the guitar for not a sound-rotten vomit. In fact solo ca is acceptable, but as soon as I play three chords, it pourrave. I may be across a wrong number, maybe is there a mod to reduce the roar. on the other hand and always with the Sustain to zero and after some adjustments required, there is usually an inimitable sound of slaughter. Weakness: very, very few possible shades. And not enough harmonics (which I like best). Strong point: we find that sound on billions of songs.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Cheap, but too cheap though. I much prefer a TS9 or better a TS10 or the BOSS DS-1 or MT-2. I've had three weeks. I give myself a month and I sell ...

    3 buttons rglages, trs so simple. One can hardly miss the buttons ave this size!

    UTILIZATION

    Easy to use, like all pedals, turn the knobs and it works!

    SOUND QUALITY

    Volume, effective background has really sounds trs fort, has adapted according to the clear sound.
    The tone is very fat goes from very serious to super sharp, but keeps out the cot fat fuzz, not at all aggressive
    The sustain is the rate-distortion. Near the minimum, dj greasy, and funding is really fat but still rev pretty clean anyway. But happened to 3 / 4 I can not find a lot of diffrence until the end of the race knob .. I put personal background, with a marshall lamps, love, and I even added an ov…

But happened to 3 / 4 I can not find a lot of diffrence until the end of the race knob .. I put personal background, with a marshall lamps, love, and I even added an overdrive that an equalizer, and my god sounds! Well it's pretty typical to say that the pop rock and we must avoid the mtal not aggressive enough I think ....
    I have a fender mustang and therefore has a marshall lamp trs go well, APRS with humbuckers in my squier jagmaster I do not like for cons, the sound is puffy I find, it comes likely the microphones ...
    I put 10 for the quality of sound, APRS is subjective, must love that sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 years I think, and I chose it because it's really the sound I was looking for, APRS DIFFERENT MODELS essays. I also have a Turbo Rat fuzz but I like less, too "rtro" I got.
    I had sometimes buzz, I do not know if it s the fact that I have all my pedals connected to the same power supply, which is nevertheless stable. I tried with a pile right on the Big Muff, and other mains, but the buzz still silent l.. I really do not know where that came from ... A friend also had a problem of buzz ...
    Report quality discount, especially since it has fallen a bit over time I believe it.
    Otherwise they could have put it in a smaller box with a multi effect pedals and 2 or 3, began to close ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    - It's a fuzz pedal in first! So the sound is very distinctive and is not for everyone. It is essential to try before making the acquisition to have no surprise. Personally, I Was conquered!
    - I use it with an Ibanez S470 (output level high enough ...). On my Marshall MG30DFX, rendering is sometimes a little loud banal ... the pedal comes into its own on tube amp
    - I like his old nag in this pedal. In the coupling to the distortion of the amp can be found very dirty sound is fat. For the solos, the added grain is pleasing and the sustain is a treat.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I use it for 6 months
    - I like the fuzz sound, but again it is a peculiar distortion ...
    - I had not tried other distos before, but I wanted a fuzz at first
    - Value for money is more than adequate.
    - In this price range, I would do this choice. A Big Muff pedal is to be just like a wha. Now with a little more than average ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    Although rough, dirty, harmonic control. Mine in 1976. I keep pr collection aspect but is more me. Qd I liked I did not play, it made a noise and hid my shortcomings.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Using a very occasional pr her rotten.
    Today, no, I will not purchase this kind of effect. I use less effect, the more I know what I play. The effects on the sound is like a painted lady ... Just to hide the misery.

    Also used on bass!

    SOUND QUALITY

    Screaming, fuzz ...

    Beh is said Fuzz, and it is difficult to do better. I'm pretty vintage, and even distortion too: The Kinks to play it more than enough for me, but this beast is seduced me! At rhythm is not too this, I think he's great, but solo and very dirt I have a Vox AC15 and a Jaguar (vintage I said no?) And quite frankly, in the Fuzz Above this is just enough!

    Low level, I am very groovy, round and clear so when I tested it on my bass I made "mouaip". That said, it is good enough (I think I'm not a fan of distos bass) above the minimum gain, a special grain that sounds pretty good, but tastes good ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    UaUuUh!

    I use it for over a year. My favorite is the reality of Fuzz and quality. Before I try like everyone else (I think) but the Boss is not the same ... And then I try other real Fuzz also very good, (but) more expensive and then it's Big Muff Big Muff. I bought 60 euros a good pedal for the price! I think even if we do not really want, and you have 60 euros too (it's never too much I know) it is a bad buy it even advisable.
