Absolute fucking brutality

This is the heaviest distortion I've ever owned. With your guitar's volume at half-mast it's still capable of sonic destruction; dime 'er, and it heads into full-fledged apocalypse. The fuzz circuit is the same as the company's flagship Tyrant fuzz, but the second channel adds a new layer of squealing feedback and intensely spacey noise. If you listen to Josh Scogan at all, The Chariot, Norma Jean, that's what this sounds like.
