You'll want at least on good store that's based in Germany, right? Located right in the heart of W-Europe, and has relatively low VAT rates if I'm not mistaking.

Too bad I can't recommend anything in particular though, so anyone else wanna chime in here? :idk:

They seem like dudes.

German VAT is 19% which isn't a whole lot cheaper but it's better than a kick in the teeth.

… and I will hopefully be reaching out with some more videos and/or audio clips soon (or as soon as I have a chance to record something).

I've been seeming to like running the Clusterfuzz before other fuzzes or dirt. :snax:

Despite it being designed for sonic destruction, it can actually do lower-gain sounds. And since it has a metric shit-ton of output volume, it can drive other pedals (or amps) pretty well.

I dont have much to go on, but so far I would think that this is the sort of fuzz that would make a lot of sense on a small-ish board, where you want one super versatile fuzz instead of three different fuzz peds...

Or at least thats the excuse I plan on using to justify buying yet another toy :p

I love these go to eleven. If anyone is ever in Stockholm, check them out. Such friendly and helpful staff. I've borrowed pedals to my rehearsals to see if it works in the mix and with my own gear.

The clusterfuzz seems super fuckin rad also, I'd love it if I could play it in my hometown ;)
