I don't know how I got so lucky but Brian accidently shipped me a SS/BS Hawk and Tshirt which of course I had to send back. But I did get to try her out. I honestly was really not that interested in it before trying. There are just so many fuzzes. But I am quite impressed. I love the simple interface. No dialing in various shades of the same sound. Just boom and you got a kick ass sound. It seemed pretty versatile for what it is in my limited exposure to it. I found it reacted differently depending on which amp I tried it on - JC120, deluxe reveb and VHT pitbull. Unfortunately, I only tried it with a single coils on a strat but Im sure pickup choice would make a difference too. I found I could cop some similar sounds to my TAFM but without the need to dial in anything. All in all, for the money...its a steal!!
BTW, I don't know how/why I waited so long to try but the year 4545 is just wonderful.

Got my small HAWK... will post a vid maybe this weekend.
Any info on those switchs... what they do?
Here what I think:
1(top one) - invert overdrive/fuzz order (but I don't know which is which)
2(middle one) - left = gated, right = non gated
3(bottom one) - I'm not sure, maybe eq or something... on some setting I got weird gated synthy tone on the middle position
Lots of tone for a one knober.

I think the bottom one is for gain?

So how sludgy can this thing get? And sludgy that's clear and semi tight? Or sludgy as in just loud wall of inarticulate sound.
I think I've read one to many TGP threads.

You'll see when I'll do the demo.

Hey, anybody tried HAWK in a feedback looper... I'm curious about that.
I'd like to know if the feedback is easy to control (like an AB-Synth) or if like some other fuzz if it only make a strident noise.
