The fuck is actually a pretty small pedal. It probably takes up the same amount of space as a Boss pedal, possibly a little bit more on the sides, but not much. From pictures I thought it was going to be the same size as bigger EHX XO pedal, but it's much smaller.

It's just a standard 1590B sized enclosure, 3" x 4" roughly. Agree it looks way larger in pics though.

Probably the favorite pedal on my board.
Stack well with fuzz or octave pedal.
Vintage voiced OD.

Would you guys come up with something else if wanted a over the top distortion that doesnt border on fuzz when you crank the gain? Something smooth but yet aggresive, that could be used to play some r´n´r the way Inepsy does.

In that case: Dr. Scientist The Elements (it can do fuzz too which is a plus).

Definitely! Look no further than the Elements for what you're describing.
