digging up this thread

I'm looking for a textural and nasty fuzz... since my purchase of a Shoe Pixelfix didn't go through, I was browsing the B/S/T and internet and I found this

Now - i've never went "older" than an Si fuzzface... so i'm not that well informed about oldschool fuzz sounds... but this I dig :thumb: it's about as unruly and textural and crazy as I'd like. Yeah, i'm a bit worried about how it will react to my amp and guitar, but it's a part of the fun ;)

anyone tried it with a Jazzmaster? And does anyone know how it reacts to a post or pre Fuck OD?

I don't know firsthand, but seem to recall talk of it not always playing nice with other pedals.

I've heard it doesn't always play nice with basically anything, it's a moody bitch :) we'll see then

I've been wanting to try a Merkin. A friend of mine has one, I'll try to borrow it and let you know how it goes with a jazzmaster and Fuck.
