Only pic I've got right meow.
Yeah.. This pedal freaking rules. It's an FZ-1 from Jerms.
Bright, loud, ragged.. It's the kind of fuzz that I love. It's way louder and has way more sustain than I was expecting. With most settings you get a couple seconds of pure silence after a note before noise swells in so that's awesome. Basically the way I stomp it might as well have zero noise.
Aesthetics and tone are totally ballin. Looks just like an FZ-1 but no graphic. Sounds like what you hear on a super old record. Like early Stones or something sexy like that
I'm PUMPED! Can't wait to crank this with my SG and ac30 at practice tomorrow

Well the attention to detail is pretty much better than anything else out there. If you're nerdy about this stuff then yeah it's worth it

If you're looking for modern features then no, it's not the right choice. But for what it is, it seems to be the best around.

I think Jerms has a great ear for tuning fuzz.
When proroby still had his Jerms Italian Tone Bender, I played it, it was pretty freakin' tasty.

He really does. The range of the attack pot on this pedal is so awesome. All of the sounds are great
Here's another pic

I paid a bit less than $400 for it, but yeah you can get an original FZ-1A for around that price. I dunno about the FZ-1 I think it's a bit more rare.
Thing is, I think my chances of finding an original in actual gigging condition are slim. I want to actually USE this pedal

Ok.. I recorded this randomly at practice today. It's uhh.. Pretty rough. We slow down randomly for some reason? lol
It was practice
Anyways you should be able to tell when I switch the fuzz on
