Hawk Fuzz.....

I just brought a Hawk fuzz from B/S/T on a whim. My first SS/BS pedal. I haven't got it yet, but was just wondering who owns one or who has played one? I noticed on the smallsound/bigsound site that they are no longer being made. What do you guys think of them? The demo's I heard are awesome. Just want to know what to expect before I get it.

Sorry, wish I knew
Didn't Eric have one? I seem to recall someone saying it was sweet on bass...

I think Behndy said it was like all the best settings from the TAFM.

Hey ha,
Hawk sizzles, spits, growls, and occasionally gurgles. I have no git-box experience, but on bass, it punches like a Hitmonchan. Its highlight is the feedback-loopy nature of the fuzz. It's been a kind of while since I had or even THOUGHT about the Hawk tho. I need moar knobs on mah lil fuzzlings

Mmmm! Sounds like it will be my kind of fuzz. Does it get along ok with active bass?

Haha just saw this. I used both a passive (p-bass) and active (stingray). Passive was woolly and splatty, active was pretty splatty and almost synth like. This infront of my Pickle Pie B was pretty brutal. The switches are nifty, fuck if I ever remember what setting I left them on most of the time. It can go from really grainy and splattery to full on with some combos. The volume knob is mainly for output only; backing it off doesn't really do much. The switches do though. I can't remember (it's actually been a while since I had used the Hawk last) which switch it is, but it cranks the gain quite a bit. The bottom switch is the fuzz character. I liked the full on, muff-esque setting the most. Watch the output, little bastard can get really REALLY loud.

That I'm definitely happy about.
I'm sure I could use it as a studio effect on a mixer send & return buss also for drums and vocals. Anyone tried this with the Hawk?

Got the Hawk last week. Finally got my board rewired so I could play it last night. This thing is fucking awesome. Only had a little bit of time with it but so far I love it. It can only get better from here. Wonder why Brian doesn't make them anymore?

not many people bought them. i thought a relatively cheap fuzz pedal would be a good move but i guess i thought wrong!

I'm all about cheap awesome fuzzes. People missed out on something really good. Maybe if they were $30 more people would of jumped all over them. Back when I was moving the ganja I got my hands on a pound of really good bud cheap. So I was trying to pass on the savings to my customers. Was only asking $60 for a 1/4 oz. Everyone would be asking, why so cheap? Whats wrong with it? No one wanted it. So I buried it for a few months till xmas time when things dried up. Sold it at $120 a 1/4 oz. Sold like hotcakes. I guess some people are skeptical of things when they are cheap.
