I guess it's not too bad. But the "noise" feature I just don't get. It's like turning on a tv with no antenna.

I'm playing a tele through a '65 Vox AC30.
It's true. There's a lot of possibilities with this unit. A lot of different fuzz/distortion sounds. But to say that this unit will replace every single one out there is a mild exageration to say the least. For example, it cant duplicate my Vox Valvetone.
And again, the noise-knob is totally worthless. Seems like the only reason it's there, is for the manufaturer to say "new feature: a "noise"-knob!"!.
Also, if you turn some of the knobs all the way up, the sound gets a really annoying noise-gate type of sound. This may be cool for metalheads, who want to do palm-stops, but for me it's a real bummer. But for trash-punk, maybe this pedal isnt so bad....

Im selling this pedal (email me if you're interested). I bought it, 'cause i liked the description of it, and like the fact that somepeople (manufacturers) makes an effort to produce new and alternative sounding pedals. But somehow this pedal doesnt suite my taste. ...And the "This pedal can duplicate every single one of the others out there" is utter bollocks. But it may be cool for making new personal sounds...

I am playing this throuh a 120 Watt Orange Overdrive head on a 4x10 Peavy Classic cabinet, or a 1955 Gibson Les Paul GA-40 amplifier. My axe is a G&L Legacy special from a while back. This is a true bypass which means when you turn it off, it doesn't kill the signal any or make your clean sound any different. The effets are wonderful.I can get a 60's Buzz tone reminiscent of Cream, to a Vox Fuzz Face, to an EH Big Muff, to a Smooth compressed bass sound. If you make it clean on the settings and just add noise it gives an ethereal sound. Works on a bass as well (I use a Peavy Firebass 700 through a Peavy 2x15), and sounds good.

I have kicked this, stepped on the knobs tripped over it, dropped it on the concrete, and nothign has broken. This is made very well. Quality stomp swith, and metal input/outputs. I would take this to any gig and not worry about it butificating.

10+. My influences include Smashing Pumpkins, Hum, Weezer, etc.. this has so so many great sounds, I can use it for almost anything I need it for. Buy this pedal, and you will never need another fuzz box/buzz box again. I played a big muff, a fuzz face, vintage and re-issue, and all were not as versitile. This pedal is better than the shit you got. There is no reason to not buy this pedal. Built strong wiht quality parts, and it sounds good, and it's cheap for being hand made with the quality everything. I reccommend this pedal for anyone who wants a great fuzz box.
