A two headed beast!

This one is a two headed beast! I use a lot both sides. The fix'd side to more rasp, texturized fuzz, and the musket side to muff, distortion-ish fuzzes. The great amount of knobs and toggles are very useful to find the sweet spot. I like it too much! Blackout Effectors are a great company that deserves our attention.
