No it's an IC 8 Pin DIP Chip that's still analogue, you can swap them out if you can solder for different sounds.

If you want another superfuzz, you have a bunch of options. Boss FZ2 has a superfuzz setting; get a real superfuzz...only try to snag a Shin-ei/Ajax/National Fuzz-wah -- it's a real superfuzz in there but you can get them cheap; I recently saw a Wattson superfuzz for $100 on tgp; BYOC Leeds fuzz; MJM China is a supefuzz clone too.
None of those are expensive.

Good deals done with all these guys

The Almighty told me it is my personal duty to save the souls of my ILF brethren. Repent and ye shall be saved. Sell me your rare/boutique fuzz pedals for $100.
Do it.

Why?

How much is a Wii? xbox? TV? All made by machines and/or slave labour in China.
People spend $5000 on a crappy nogahide couch made in Indonesia by kids getting paid $1 a day.
How much do you spend in a year on booze? Cell phone?

Or you can have something crafted by hand by someone with years of experience...you're not paying for the handful of parts, you're paying for the skill to make those parts do something useful.
People spend $1M on a picture of a flower when you can get a real flower for $1.

I admit it...I sinned :lol:
