Best fuzz ever!

When I tried it for the first time I did it with a telecaster and it amazingly sounded like the guitar on Led Zeppelin's first album

Selling my JMI Tone Bender MKII Fuzz pedal. This pedal sounds amazing, but it is pretty noisy when you're not playing. Comes with the certificate that states it is #120 of 250 of these worldwide. It is really an awesome fuzz tone, and I'm sad to sell it, but i'm looking for something with a smaller footprint.
