Great fuzz

I bought one of these to get close to Bernie Torme's tone.

It's a fairly dark pedal, but I use single coil guitars and play through bright amps and set the tone at around 2 o'clock. I'm not sure how it would work with dark setups and this may be why some don't like it.

As usual, the build quality is excellent and it's pedalboard friendly in size and top-mounted jacks.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Volume a touch about unity; tone around 2 o'clock; gain around noon, but sometimes higher if the mood takes me.

A bit muddy

I never managed to get a tone I was really happy with out of this. It always sounds a bit muddy to my ears.
