Very versatile awesome sounding fuzz pedal

It can go from light square-wave overdrive, to Hendrix style fuzz face, to broken gated fuzz.

The only thing I can complain is the level of the output. It's considerably lower than your average pedal, and I always keep the volume knob at max when using one side individually. The real problem arises when you start combining both fuzzes for gated sounds. Of course it's expected that combining them would cause a volume drop, but given that the natural output of the pedal is already very low, it's very hard to achieve gated sounds in a good volume without other pedal to boost it.

Overall I'm kinda in love with this pedal for it's sound, versatility and quirkiness. I usually use it for an overdrive sound with the white side, or for gated fuzz with an overdrive after it .
