Fanstastic Big Muff style fuzz
Wide variety of sounds, from kinda lower gain overdrive all the way up to the big fat raunchy sounds of the Big Muff. It goes quite close as far as tones go, can be quite shaped using the tone knob. Overall build quality is a bit weaker however, it has survived much of its life being dropped and kicked around so i guess it is good. All in all best bang for the buck.

HARD!
It's a pedal that is no longer manufactured under that name or housing. Now you can find it as the TC Electronic Honey Pot, which is smaller and doesn't take up as much space on your pedalboard. A great alternative to the muff and maybe RAT.

fantastic
The only reason this gets a 4 is due to is size, I understand that it's a Big Muff clone but surely Behringer can size it down a bit!
Anyway it's a very spirited distorion and can be used for every genre. When putting the Tone and Sustain on 10 you get such an amazing punk-fuzz sound.
An amazing price, and amazing sounds. Pretty faultless.
