One volume, one tone, sustain.
An input, no output.
Switch.
9v power supply or 9V battery. Simplicity itself.
Inside the large box, a small circuit for a big analog fuzz.

Only minor drawbacks: for the power supply sector, they have a mini jack. And size of the box may surprise (after m'enfin you can buy the little big muff, eh).

UTILIZATION

Change is a super simple, and knobs of the race is very long. So, it fits easily into any-any configuration.

I just had a little problem with the battery door, it was necessary to force some to close, the battery sticking out of the chassis ... But hey, prefer the power supply sector.

SOUND QUALITY

Fuzz is a very clean I think. The output level is impressive. The sustain is over-saturating the signal from 3am, but it's still not too rough (for a fuzz, right) and wow, but what sustain! Against by the sound quickly becomes plastic as soon as you exceed 1 hour on the tone. This gives the creamy fuzz with the tone and sustain under 11h: a treat. In short it sends the puree, while remaining gentle enough if one does not abuse the tone that quickly turns squeaking. In addition it generates very, very short of breath (in me anyway y'en hardly, even at high volume).

I use with my RX200 Lag on my Marshall 8080 (while waiting to re-use my Laney GH100S), coupled with an equation Boss GE-7, because a good equation it changes your life, anyway. I love the large well rounded and warm that can be drawn. Sounds good vintage.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little less than 2 years now I know why I waited so long before I decide.
Sure, it's not a super versatile pedal, but I get tired of his grain.
I bought it brand new € 60, with the dollar very weak at the time. At that price, it's worth it.
If she were to let me go (but any-nan, a big muff is indestructible), I would buy one pronto. Unless, a Hot Tubes ... But it's not the same budget.
