Essential fuzz pedal with interesting quirks

I play with a lot of dynamics and I like 70x fuzz tones as well as more metallic tones. One of my projects tours selectively and records regularly. I'll be recording a new album later this year and I intend to use this pedal on my next album for dynamics and heavy parts.

This pedal was gifted to me by the company. It was a random surprise and it's now one of my favorite (my favorite?) pedal. Dwarfcraft is, unfortunately, not producing effects pedals anymore.

There are three pedal switches and I like to use all three depending on what type of sound I'm going for. The setting with both the bypass and tone blast gives me a pretty cutting fuzz tone. With just the bypass on, the pedal has scooped mids and sounds great for heavy music. I particularly like how a bass sounds through this since I can get a really warm, muffy, bass tone.

The feedback switch turns the pedal into a tunable synth-ish tone. I like to manipulate the feedback tone by feeding the pedal through other effects.

My favorite way to use the feedback tone is to set something sturdy on the switch to hold it down; this allows me to use both hands to manipulate the tone using the "Trim" and "Feedback" tune knobs, or to use my hands to manipulate the sound which I route through other effects, such as my Roland Echoplex tape delay.

Only Fuzz Pedal You Need

This thing absolutely demolishes your signal. Perfect for anyone wanting anything noisy. You can turn back the volume on the guitar to create a more versatile, tone, or turn it all the way back for almost an overdrive. Not 5 stars because I have an issue where I think something wasn't soldered properly and it'll start giving feedback and noise until i press on the upper right corner with my foot.
