Amazing Sound - If You've Got The Rig For It
bepsi 14.06.2021
Bought this fuzz box and had a blast trying it on a friend's valve amp - But on my own, much smaller amp, it doesn't sound so great, so I'll be returning this one for no other reason than that it doesn't quite work for my setup.
Using this in conjunction with a volume pedal made it far easier to handle, allowing me to adjust the input volume without needing to fiddle with the volume knob. These pedals could totally benefit from an input gain knob, but that sort of nuance seems out of character for this device. (And if you're feeling up for it, it's probably not a hard mod to do).
This pedal is very, very loud. The master volume only needs to be at 9oclock to reach unity, so everything on top of that is just pure volume boost. I found that turning it up too much caused the amp I was using to struggle to keep up, but it's great to have that gain on tap - and the huge knob makes it easy to adjust while playing.

All in all a great sound which benefits a lot from having the correct amplifier to get the most out of it. A little bit of a one-trick pony, but with smart gain staging and using it in conjunction with other pedals it can be surprisingly versatile.

Great fuzz tone out of the box
an aspiring musician friend 27.04.2021
This pedal is the equivalent of a "plug and play" device!

You only need to take this pedal out of its box, plug in your guitar and go straight to the amp. You will be amazed how huge the sound of this pedal is!

Imitating the sound of a cranked Sun Model T amp, you do not need anything more rather than the big volume knob (which I can adjust with my foot during live shows if I need to) to nail the stoner sound.

Disclaimer: if you turn this up, your neighbours will totally hate you.

Absolutely insane
DarkGerald 06.04.2019
I cant be happier works nicely in front of the amp and also in the effects return, sound is great, simplicity is top; but i would add tone control which could probably be a quick win

EDIT:
I also tested it directly in the sound card and with torpedo WoS and works great!
