Tight & versatile fuzz
A lot of people describe this as some kind of a hybrid between a rat and a muff but I think this is more in the territory of a fuzz face as the base tone sounds similar to my Dunlop Fuzz Face FFM3 (silicon BC108). While the FF sounds darker and more organic, the Fireburst on the other hand is much more defined with stunning clarity and also extremly versatile because of the added EQ. The mid boost is a nice feature for lead lines as it immediately puts your guitar at #1 place.
