«  Good & transparent fuzz right! »

Published on 01/19/12 at 03:40
At first glance, it is really nice in her gray dress below by crossing two thin red stripes, which can remind us of some Hot Rod.
The metal case is sturdy, the paint is well done and holds up. The logo "wine-to act" is super nice and footswitch between the trio of knobs. Strictly negative aesthetic: why did they not written "Fuzz" in the same way? As a screen to make a very original, it must be done everywhere!

UTILIZATION

The pedal features a true bypass switch and knobs are functional. Indeed, they have an equal and progressive race. We therefore have no sudden transition between small and large Fuzz honeycomb!

The jack sockets are well anchored in the housing, everything is solid, great. Ditto for the power input, which is quite trivial, the 9V DC.
For those who do not want s'embarasser a power supply (although I think they are few!), Access to the battery is more hassle (you have to turn the bottom, or remove 4 screws) .. It can be daunting to some, but not me!

SOUND QUALITY

I prefer to start with a little negative, the pedal delivers a lot of volume, so it can be difficult to set the level properly, but hey, with attention to detail there is nothing serious (I ' mean, it's not an adjustment should be done in a hurry by putting the knob in a "broad zone of action", but looking at where the cursor will be placed ...).

In the first third of the Fuzz knob, it was a very small change in its clean, with a slight grain applied, a quiet dirt.
In the second third, or about half, one enters already in the field of this pedal with a fuzz clear and straight, clear, and although the sound is not distorted much (a bit like an overdrive ).
Finally, in the last part, the sound is dirty, but nice.

For some, it may appear as too little nervous, delivering too little fuzz. By adding back an overdrive behind it becomes totally and you can access a range of sounds more "hard" (it does not bother me because I also have a Little Big Muff distortion and the Peavey).

The Tone knob is great, you can add to the sound or, as I prefer to have a lot of treble to pierce the mix.

Finally, the pedal is transparent, there is no buzz.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a very nice pedal which allows for a slight fuzz on his pedalboard.

If one seeks a Fuzz right, transparent, that is where we need to move.
