Awesome!

This Fuzz have tons of sustain and Fuzz! I was really impressed with the quality and sound! I tested side by side with an Pharaoh and man, it was really difficult to choose, and at the end I choose this bad boy for the amount of sustain and the versatility of the tone knob. The difference between the regular Fire Red Fuzz and the Hand Wired is impressive.
