Ease of Use

Four knobs- Level, Gain (Those two i don't need to write about) EQ- simple knob, like in every effect that kind. FREQ- my favourite- it changes the frequency of whole tone. Its a great thing, you can find great sounds. There is a manual, but i don't need it. Sometimes it's hard to fix the FREQ knob- when you play louder you must change it's value to bring tones you've had earlier and quieter.
Sound Quality

I use it with Fender Stratocaster, Marshall VS8080, Boss's Chorus CE-5 and VOX Crybaby- its brilliant, however it's humming a little. This is very small problem. Jimi Hendrix sound is easy to find. I also use it in other covers and my own songs. With singles it gives great rythmic sounds, and with Humbucker it's wonderfull for solos. It's worth more than I've payed for it.

It's my only distortion-like effect. I don't even use Overdriven channel in my amp. It's very small and light.

Overall Rating

For Rock, hard rock, and blues it's PERFECT. I think i'll buy another one just to be sure that i won't lost that one or something. Everybody in Poland (this effect is from Poland) thinks that exar is (censored), they think that only BOSS rules. It's very cheap (about 35 in EU). I think that it's one of the best fuzzes i ever played (I gave up my Fuzz Face for it). In Poland we say- GENIALNY!!!
