Does everything you want

A fuzz war to do, but with a neat treble boost. I don’t use it, but maybe some day? Cool limited edition pedal designed for our fuzz god of these tragic times. Very cool looking pedal. John bless America.

Vast ranging fuzz. 1 pedal does all.

This pedal is a treasure. I only recently started to use it as a clean boost which is permanently on. The fuzz can get quite dark. Way beyond I would choose to go, but with low gain and mid tone fantastic rhythmic fuzz can be produced. then you crank the gain up and you can cut right through. If I go to jam at someones house, it's the one pedal use.

Only limited run of these too.

fuck your ears, blow your amp

This pedal is the tone of the gods in a box. I use the boost always on through my SF twin to get a nice grit and set the tone almost all the way counterclockwise on the fuzz, with low gain to add sort of a filter when soloing or on choruses.

flokusch - not sure if you're handy with a soldering iron, but you can build a clone pretty easily - just look up a diagram of 2 pcb's in one inclosure, build this (https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Raw_Fuzz/p847124_8389179.aspx) and throw a rangemaster on the left side (after the fuzz) (https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Range_Master/p847124_12489280.aspx) .
