The Nine Volt Nirvana Dinosaur Fuzz is a somewhat unknown and rare fuzz, overdrive and distortion box for electric guitar. This is a really versatile pedal and can get a nice array of different overdriven sounds. The pedal has standard 1/4" connections for input and output and boats what is kind of two channels. It's not rackable as it's a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the Nine Volt Nirvana Dinosaur Fuzz isn't hard to follow at all. As a precursor, I've found that the controls on here are pretty sensitive. It's got knobs for volume, tone, gain, and rhythm volume, with buttons for bypassing and engaging the latter parameter. I haven't seen the manual for this pedal if there is one.

SOUND QUALITY

I can't say enough about the great sound that emanates from Nine Volt Nirvana Dinosaur Fuzz pedal! I love that it's possible to get a wide array of different sounds and it's not just limited to be a fuzz box. It's definitely best for getting fuzz, but it's also a great overdrive box when used more subtly at lower levels. I really love the way this pedal breaks up, as it's truly a huge sound in a small box. Unlike most fuzz boxes, it's got a really open sound...

OVERALL OPINION

I don't know how hard it would be to find a new or used Nine Volt Nirvana Dinosaur Fuzz pedal, as I'm not sure if they're still being made or not. There should be some floating about out there if you're in the market for a used one, and it's definitely a pedal I'd recommend exploring as it's really unlike any other that I've used before. I wouldn't recommend it if you're after strictly an overdrive box, but if you want an awesome fuzz pedal that has flexibility beyond your average fuzz box, the Dinosaur Fuzz pedal is definitely something you need to try out.
