Fuzz pedal vintage guides
Input / output jack, jack 9v power supply
a volume control knob, one for the fuzz, a small button that changes the sound and increases the mediums it seems to me

UTILIZATION

What effect pedal ...
True bypass, small blue light (as often in addition to mxr, the LED stays on if the pushbutton switches on to the pedal bypasses)
You just have to be careful about al connections in a pedalboard!
APRS branch Trex or a distortion wah sound was quite rough .. TFW other compression pedals (yet with a true bypass)
So the guitar directly into the mxr fuzz APRS and the rest;)

*** Modif of 17/06/09: I changed the j odre connection from the fuzz after the wah and understood the usefulness of the switch "buffer" c ... well is marked on the record, I should've Read before forgiveness: a trigger when the fuzz is the APRS branch wah, a memory buffer to remove sounds very sharp and oscillation of some wah. "Branch after the budda wah it takes away the serious and the compression fuzz and c is better defined, cool

SOUND QUALITY

FUZZ This is excellent!
Type vintage, it is quite subtle, the adjustment being progressive, the fuzz is really taking its magnitude in the last quarter of the button without pissing everywhere.
The switch bring a medium coloration

The volume knob can not just lose too much volume compared to the light switches on when the
By lowering the fuzz effect can we have a slightly fuzzy overdrive or a pretty cool crunch
It can also play with the volume of the guitar to switch a good fuzz has a bluesy crunch
Telecaster a branch above, all in the mesa boogie, it sounds!
By adding a wah or delay, it sounds too!

OVERALL OPINION

Achetéie 2d ... but already tested a few hours
J had tried or heard a big muff (c is rather dirty just like his relation to the mxr) a graphic fuzz (can also be the mxr) bofff, a fuzz Benrod to a friend: I recommend against it by, the good stuff, good sound, made by a French manufacturer with the best components (the sound seems to me a slight decrease from the mxr, finally a test in parallle to be sure.
I am glad trs
I was looking for a good fuzz to complete my pedalboard, composed of fairly good effects qualitwah budda, trex Mudhoney distortion, analog delay mxr, ..)
has done!
