Using an op-amp blown way beyond its limits and some clever trickery, Screws accomplishes one of the most difficult tasks in all of fuzzdom: an octave fuzz with an ever-present octave, no matter the guitar, no matter the situation. If you want to do the classic Jimi thing (or some sitar-like clang), Screws has got you. If you want to be the most bricked-out thing in the mix (and give those cymbals a run for their money), Screws has your back. If you're looking to get your Swede on, put the Tone switch in the middle and start stacking. Whether main character or supporting role, Screws is there, calling back to the roots of Mask Audio Electronics: simple fuzz done very gnarly.
