Good value

I think this is a Biyang pedal, polished up and re-badged by Akai. That said, it's basically a Big Muff type fuzz which, for the price, gives me plenty of range with the tone knob and versatility with the muffy/warm/boost switch. It's got enough oomph to provide the requisite amount of face-melting fuzz/distortion for me, but then again, I'm not that good a guitar player and am still only beginning to venture onto that road to hell that is the mythical search for "tone", but for the price, I think it's a good place to start,

jimmarchi1

ah the mythical search for tone, its actually nt a road to hell nor is it that complicated if you have decent resources.

cronosftm

But it is a road with many side tracks and the subject of much debate. When I called it a road to hell I just meant that it's a place you can easily get lost.
