Yeah, for sure. I can give it a try at least. The fuzz side (with the sawtooth wave printed on the enclosure) is based on the Ibanez Standard Fuzz circuit. To describe it, I'd say it's got that buzzy sawtooth thing going on with some octave up as well.

Then the other side adds a mid-scoop fuzz onto that, so kind of like a wall of mud shows up underneath the buzzy octave-y stuff on top. Sounds great for all of your chord playing doomy stony kinda stuff.

The overdrive control does just that, overdrives the whole thing. The more it gets cranked clockwise, the more everything breaks up. Pretty great stuff.

Probably just need to demo it. But then y'all would know that I can't play. Hahahahaha.

When you stomp on that tone switch it adds an amazingly full and smooth low-end. It's great! It's like you get the sharp crunchy saw-tooth stuff on top and then a copy of it that sounds like it's running through some low pass filtering (they say it's a mid-scoop) underneath. Best of both worlds basically.

And YES - it sounds gooooooooooood on the dropped deeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz. If I had a little bit more free time I'd demo it for ya. Little tight the next little bit though...

Has anyone found that this pedal stood the test of time....anybody still excited about it or using it? Just curious.....was a minor flavor of the month for a bit...then it disappeared.
