Hey thanks! I was starting a band with some friends that was going to have a spacey 60s Velvet Underground kind of vibe with a lot of effects. I wanted to name it Fuzz Aldrin. The name was rejected, and the band completely switched gears into a more bluesy/dirty rock kind of thing.

I want to nominate this one for the hall of fame. The name alone is gross enough.
I do have to add that I've heard certain players make this shitty visual abomination of a pedal sound decent.

I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Welp, I must say that at least most of the other pedals in this thread have something relatively unique about them... knobs, build, sound, etc.
This thing is just a shitty idea in a shitty metal box with a shitty sticker.

p.s. I love vintage EHX stuff.

This was my first pedal along with a big muff... I think I made it sound good, but who knows.

This one just always confused me. Why would they use that image as the graphic? Am I the only one who finds it mildly racist?

I've always thought Pigtronix stuff was really ugly. Bad color combos, font usage, and intro-level Photoshop graphics. I'm sure they're awesome pedals, but ew.

how could you not dig the METAK FUZZTRON, thing looks like a plasma flux reactor
who cares how the BATFUZZ sounds, it probably has a grappling hook & a smoke bomb
