Germanium effect pedal hand made in the USA by Fran who worked on a special Big Muff. Very sturdy construction and selected components. You can expect a long life!

Input, output, external PSU connector (PSU not included).

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration. It's plug and play although you might need some time to find your own sound. Very easy to use. No user's manual. You won't need it!

SOUND QUALITY

Very effective effect. Amazing. High-class product. This fuzz effect reminds me of the Big Muff but faster. It provides a long sustain. The tone control is very effective and it changes the distortion color. Watch out for your ears! The sound ranges from classic fuzz to an enormous wall of sound. But you won't get the typical Hendrix fuzz sound. The sound has a lot more punch even if you turn down the knob on your guitar.

The effect is not very versatile but it provides an ultra effective fuzz that will blow you away.

The response changes depending on the amp and the speaker you use...

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it only for a short time. I bought it just before its price increased. Its price went up a lot!

As a summary, if you're looking for an effective and thick fuzz effect with a real sound personality and a great dynamic response, this pedal is perfect for you! It's a boosted Big Muff with high-class manufacturing quality.

Nice and simple design.

Amazing sharp, aggressive and thick sound. Wide sound range thanks to the three controls.

You'll find a good demo on youtube.
