So I got the fuzz, it came totally messed up... volume loss, crackly pots, feedback when gate if engaged... had to get a refund issued through Reverb and the seller has been a total dick about it. I’ll look for another, I was excited to check this out. If not I’ll probably end up settling on a TAFM or Buzzz since there a great “go-to”

Also a completely rad fuzz!

Fortunately it is very different to the Velcrobot... so you can pick one up somewhere on down the line with impunity :thumb:

This was my 3rd TAFM and I had it for about 4 hours before putting it on reverb and buying a Buzzz. I think I’ll like the buzz better because it has more of a ripping sound. As far as the Old Blood Noise goes, I think their pedals are poorly engineered. They’re extremely noisy and all have weird volume quirks. I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re just doing your own experimental stuff but I use all my pedals in a live setting too, kind of tip toeing the line between music and noise making. My guitarist has the Dark Star Pad and although it does a cool thing, it’s noisy (what he uses it for it doesn’t really matter) and has volume issues. We’ve also used the Haunt and Reflector and another member has the Procession at home but doesnt put it on his board because it just doesn’t really fit the bill with the sounds it does for us.
