I did a quick recording where I played the last song I wrote with my favorite setting on the carcosa, signal path is reverb, fuzz, flanger, in that order.

Gnarly stuff, thumbs up for that PWR BTTM lick!

Sounds really nice, I love fuzzes like this that straddle the OD-fuzz divide, and are actually usable and reactive at lower gains.

Like the sounds in the video, for sure.

CONFESSION: I got lit on Friday night and pre-ordered one from Andertons. Should arrive end of January :lol:

I love this pedal so much my dudes, I've tried other settings but I always go back to the gated sound of 3:00 on the after knob, nothing else sounds as good and as different from my other fuzz pedals. this is the sound I never knew I wanted.

I love the name. The King in Yellow is one of my favorite books.

Sounds like a lot of useful tones.

I had a Nobels fuzz years back that went from overdrive to gated spluttery fuzz.
Not too keen on the overly gated sounds, the MXR Blue Box is about the only one I have really liked.

thing has a pretty wide sweep of sounds before it goes all out fart noises when you dime it.

ive been doing this thing with my jag lately where ill get it to total fart town, and then flip one of the 3 switches on the bottom and it cleans it right up. its not the circuit switch, not sure what im doing with it, but it one of my favorite sounds right now.


like going taking the gain on an amp from 10 to 3 with a flick of a switch on the guitar without any volume drop

Arrived yesterday as finally back in stock since my drunken preorder.

I like it a lot. Pairs very well before a boost pedal into my AC15. The hali and dehme switch is a nice feature which I use for either bridge or neck pickup to ease off the sag and muffled compression, but I can see how they'd be great to tailor for specific amp types. I thought I'd dig the sputtery tones but actually prefer the after bias around 10 o clock where it cleans up still with the guitar's volume know but offers plenty of mayhem. Can't wait to try it in a band setting and experiment with stacking next to other pedals.
