3 fantastic fuzz tones in one pedal.

If low-end is important to you or you're tuning down this pedal is a great option. I've had a couple of Fuzzes in the past that seem to have some fairly aggressive high-pass filtering in them, which must appeal to some players, but if you want a fuzz that preserves a lot of the bass frequencies then this one delivers in spades. The pedal contains two circuits, one is based on the Shinei FY-2 Companion Fuzz and the other based on the FY-6 Superfuzz, the latter has a tone switch that delivers quite a different "scooped" flavour. The FY-2 and FY-6 have been reviewed in detail elsewhere so I won't go into detail but all three tones sound great and would be useful in different contexts. The FY-2 is "zippery" and "buzzy" like a swarm of bees, and the FY-6 sounds more "normal".
