Can anyone tell me about this one? Not one demo to be found.
I did a search and while a few reviews were favorable, a few were not.
I hear it can get some lo-fi am radio sounds and some muff fuzz tones.
The entire circuit is also gooped.
Anyway, I may be able to trade an LS-2 for it but not sure if it's worth it. I might just wait for a soda meiser to come along.
Thanks. Heres a pic.

Sorry, not directly. I have a burford ring modulator that sounds great and imho the prices are quite fair. Built quality is ok, screen print is a little bit trashy.
Here is an example of it (right the first sounds is the ring mod).

Where is the circuit board? I am always wary of builders who hide their circuit.

those are my pics you hotlinking bastard
It wasn't a bad fuzz but pretty underwhelming. Didn't quite reach unity volume, there's no real volume control on it just a couple of gain knobs and a tone control. Sounded pretty good stacked into something else but had some noise to it. One end of the gain knob was a thin buzzy am radio sound the other was sort of muffy. I think I ended up giving it to someone on here.
The guts were a horrible mess. Bottom right in that pic is the battery holder. The circuit was split into 2 parts and stuffed in those 2 black plastic boxes which were filled with goop. No way at all to get in there.

I have the smaller version. Has a simple Level and Tone controls, both limited, its very bright w/out the tone backed of. The fuzz tone is a Muffy with a slight snythy overtone, the maker promising "Isley Brothers Whose that lady" tones which it does. Works well with a valve amp, unusual tone if one trick. Actually liked it as a treble boost thinned out sound with a buffered pedal before it, or a Treble Booster before for old TREX style tones. Small enclosure houses only another mystery unopenable small black box, no clue as to the insides. I still have it amongst a ton of others, the tone is different enough for me to keep it. I`d quite like the Britt Face if only for something non run-of-the-mill
