Ease of Use
:
8
This is a nice little Ocatve Fuzz from Moen and like all high gain pedals, you might have to experiemnt a little to get the sound you are after, but very easy to use with only Vol, Tone and Gain knobs.
Comes with a small manual in the box and a warranty card.
Sound Quality

This has pretty nasty sound and that is what I bought it for. Can certainly compete with others of it's type and you can dial in some pretty huge sounds here. I really like it for low register chording where you can chug like a freight train and can get almost organ-like tones at times. I run this with a Delay as well in the chain and there is a lot of power in combining this Ocatve Fuzz in the mix. Like most Ocatve Fuzz the tone can be squeezed so hard that you lose definition and some of the high single runs can get lost, but I found that I use this with most of the gain "off" and find my own sweet spots with it. For sure does what it is intended to do.

I have the others in this Ulite line and all very dependable thus far. True Bypass, Heavy 3PDT Switch.Construction seems sound and comes with a one year warranty, so no worries here.

Customer support has always been great for me and the US Dist. has been very helpful all along. Can't say that for other established brands that may be running on name alone with regards to both price and quality.

This is very nice little unit. It takes up very little space on the board and this is what this new series is all about. This allows me the freedom to include an effect like the Ocatve Fuzz which I may normally have done without. There are many times I hit the switch and remember why I like this. If you like nasty, mean and powerful you might want to look at this Ulite over the higher priced lines.
