It's a decent octave fuzz pedal

The fuzz on Unicorn Blood is little dry sounding for my taste, but the octave up feature is realy nice. It feature three switches to help control the tone, Fat, Boost and Sludge, It also has Volume, Bass, Treble and Octave knobs. The fuzz and octave are operated by separate foot switches, which give the Unicorn Blood some versatility.
