I think with the new octave + toneshape footswitch and degain toggle the new Buzzz is more versatile than either one of those.

So I got one track recorded with the If 6 Was 9. Going to upload it tonight and try to bang out another song or two using the rest of the pedals. I will jsut say I never thought a Fuzz Face could ever be that heavy :doom:

Also I apologize about having the box longer than a week, being stuck at work last week really threw me off.

Alright so I think I'm done. I might record one LAST track tonight to show off the random mode of the Apollo Phaser because it's so fucking awesome, but here's an EP I recorded with JUST The Zeta, If 6 Was 9, Apollo, and Surf Rider:

Throwing up a pic of my favorite settings on the ifsixwasnine fuzz
It is a flipping great fuzz
Very heavy
Bias knob is super useful, I think every fuzz face style pedal should have a bias knob
I will note that this pedal is super bassy
I had a ghost effects fuzz face with a bass mod and this sounded very similar to that
I liked it that way and do know that part of this is the amp setup I used (fender 1x12 closed back Power amp and a boss ME30 as a preamp)

Pros:
Cleans up really well with guitar volume
Plenty of Fuzz and Volume available
Sounds awesome before or after the Apollo Phaser
Works well with other pedals
Sounds great with Single Coil and Humbucker Equipped Guitars
Bias Knob allows for a ton of different and very useful tones
Build quality was awesome, super solid

Cons:
Bass heavy at times (with my setup)

Very impressed
Going to run it through a different amp and guitar setup tomorrow and see how it goes


Also: I know I am not supposed to multi-post so I am going to hold off on some thoughts on the apollo for a bit, but they will be coming!
