Manufactures in the United States is nothing less than the "fuzz" based on four legendary advantages of distortion team of silicon transistors. Technically we should talk about a distortion even if the Costs It has to do a fuzzy monster. : P

Three (roughly enough to mumuse with toes XD) well ractifs knobs, Volume, tone and sustain. Playing it as much on a sustain itself as the crtage signal and thus the violence of the effect.

We are analogue pedals prsence a pure juice, few CONTRL, did what we asked to do and that&#39;s it (for the delight of the noisy).

Also note, the prsence a true bypass and an LED RED!!

All condensed in a housing mastoc, trs charismatic, seemingly robust could no problem organizing your pedalboard in its scope but give him a mouth of hell)

After going a lil less on canvas prsence as a power supply socket of an old mini jack, has the amricaine, who has asked to buy some adapters.

Knowing that those who would gns for the last two points can fall back on the Little Big Muff. / \ I compared the two with a friend possdant other and they sound significantly diffrent, we still do not understand why ...

UTILIZATION

Sound of the trs typ Muff as we find our happiness pretty quickly if you know what to expect. Through 5 minutes of rglages, quickly found "the" sound befitting our ears.

The volume allows you to weigh the db of boost you have in triggering the bug. It may be helpful to get out of the mix when you play a solo, and you can always return it if you have a rhythm, regardless of the amount of "sustain" addition.

The tone covers a wide range, the bass sound is the extreme, even the humming nasal tuft in SETTINGS trslgers around 12 hours we have a well with a wide prdominance of serious.

Sustain allows you to have a sound like a more extreme vintage. Before / around 12 o&#39;clock we find the sonoritsa Santana, Hendrix. APRS is a 12 hours a fuzz IDAL for rhythmic grunge / garage style Mudhoney over 3 hours it turns into the big sound crados, which wakes the acute and rained harmonics. It becomes a master in the sport and rhythmic ca CLEAR serious about solos.

Let those who find it lacks controls console themselves because its tempra ractif still allows enough even to do some more research if the DSIR. Whether playing the equalizer on the amp, the volume of the guitar (it even has a lot Ragit trs low volume, ca provides a relatively espce crunch exploitable) but have not RVer, does not mean ractif versatile sound that typ caractriel Big Muff, ca propelled out of the mix ... ... But it will not please every ear.

The manual is on a sheet of paper ...

SOUND QUALITY

To be effective in the east. You get what you want, large enough to sustain pt to go to a pizza cafcommander / go to the toilet during a bend ...

Clearly it&#39;s the fuzz exception is dirty, it&#39;s heavy, has a peak in brief death DGIG ca! Metallic / not for the sensitive;)

RULES I like it (a tone chouilla below 12 hours and sustain hair APRS 15h) it serves me as serious as vibrant as sharp squeaks or I walk on the sleeve of my Jazzmaster Classic Player Special. I usually play on a Vox Valvetronix, but that&#39;s nothing compared to what I could get by plugging in two MI 60 all lamps. I use it mostly on the bridge pickup, it gives me obviously more precision to master the craft. I also tried with a Telecaster amricaine and also suits him perfectly.

Once again, it&#39;s a really CHARACTERISTICS better know what it is before you buy.

The breath is the only problem I do not play when it really can be Submitted by the SETTING THE PDAL (more volume / = more sustain out of breath). Note all the same I play a Jazzmaster, the electrical installation of my old apartment did a lot of noise and the fact that I could not test it other than in spices Survolt es (computers, wifi, other amps, the other a scratch oversized go deaf drummer ...).

As for those who love the sound of the pedals but that does not support his breath should not do without it because it fits well with a trs pti cheap noise gate. I tested with the noise gate to a friend Harley Benton and ca rsoud quivoque not the problem.

In short if the breath scares you, or you know the prdispositions your guitar in the Contents, go your way, buy or make a noise gate with it! ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I&#39;ve had one month and I love to madness. I had to search a bit before finding the sound I wanted, I found it and I am satisfied with TRS. I tried all the Big Muff in the range (the Little Tone Wicker and version) as the tone wicker accessory really nice, but ultimately difficult to use in groups (violent boost volume) too much worse (j &#39; pe will try to bypass my tone alone), the Little with his slightly differ and (DLIR kid) a case which certainly is more convenient but not the trappings of kitsch former I port my choice of the most classic Fuzz.

Pay 68 euros, it&#39;s still reasonable for a fuzz of this magnitude, even if for any distortion pedals.

Of course I would do this choice even if I wish I could get hold of an old Russian Big Muff ...
