This one

On high tone settings, high distorsion level, can be like a blade, or like a mosquito if you prefer. But I like its dark attitude, when I put tone all the way anticlockwise, and keep dist very very low: it seems just like it is singing to me, becomes mellow, pleasant to my ear, melodic. I love that tone. Should be quite rare, it's the first version of this Soundbank from Ibanez.

this is actually a cheap big muff variant if I recall... a lot of 80s and 90s fuzzes were... even the DOD Grunge pedal is a modded Muff

Yes @jimmarchi1m this is what Reverb says about it: "The Ibanez SF5 60'S FUZZ was the "poor mans OD-850". The distortion section of the circuit is similar to the Maxon D&S first edition, and sounds nearly identical. Includes a FETT electronic bypass circuit and buffer and momentary switch, similar to the OD-850 third edition/OD-801 third edition. Maxon later changed the item code to FZ5 and changed the logo graphic, although the circuit remained identical."

It was determined that this pedal was the Ibanez Soundtank SF5 60's Fuzz, as detailed in the article "Ibanez SF-5: o pedal preto misterioso de Frusciante em 1990."
