Killer classic fuzz
This is a super, well, fuzzy fuzz pedal. In a classic way, think Isley brothers and spirit in the sky but also Jack white type sound. It isn’t as smooth as a big muff, it’s more of a prickly sound- but super vintage and classic sounding. It can also work as a clean boost on just the tone boost side. It could be cheaper, smaller, and the knobs should have been laid out better, but damn does it have a killer tone
