Blagged one cheap so I can get my early 70's gilmour on.

How do you like it/use it?

I have one too, didn't like it by itself, maybe a bit better in combination with an overdrive pedal and/or amp distortion, but didn't find a sound I am crazy about.

I'll let you know when I plug it in, still at work at mo. Arrived whilst I was here. Maybe I should have a mini rig at work lol

These things are so cute. Wish they included the smile cutout for maximum derp.

very nice, does it play well with other pedals?

so it's made it to the board and i've been playing it a lot.

it's a very bright sounding fuzz, which is generally know with silicon fuzz faces. i like that the fuzz friendly buffer in my bonamassa wah works well with it. cleans up very well with the volume pot on the guitar. i tend to run it flat out to start with and work the volume and fuzz control back till the hiss is just about gone.
been playing Eddie hazel riffs and proper nailed the lead tone from time by pink floyd. just love having a different gain flavour with the fuzz compared to the amp drive, which i equally love. the compact size is a winner, already seem to be filling this bigger board up.

I have the red germanium one still knocking around somewhere. The cleanup on it was phenomenal but it was way too dark with anything but my strat and even then, I had to crank the treble on my amp which made my unaffected tone overly bright for me.
I dropped the output cap from .1 uF to 0.1 uF after I got a suggestion on another forum. It helped but it was still too dark for me. I got an MJM London Fuzz ii pretty recently and it's amazing though.

Try stacking it into your amps drive. Just for lulz.

that's the way i've been running it FTN, sounds great with the amp cooking a little. tempted to try the hendrix one.
