Most excellent
Often misunderstood, as the Fuzz part of it is not compressed and mushy like most other fuzzes. This makes it not as forgiving, but articulates what one puts through it. You still can get that exploding chord sound when you push the amp with it. It seems bulletproof as all Fulltones I have tried, and, as a catalyst should, plays brilliantly with other pedals.

Claims to have everything, but it just has a nice fuzz
This pedal is discontinued and I think the reason is that it doesn't have much sonic identity. It's a bit of clean boost, drive, fuzz and/or compressor. The reason I still have it and use it is because of a particular setting which gives me a very useable fuzz sound for bass riffs. Maybe guitar players are too spoiled to have to use 1 button for 4 'essential' guitar sounds.
