Several amps - Many players, launching/trial by fire/stress testing the FUZZ BUZZ KILL effect pedal by BAZ BOX in Grumpy's City Club. It will be broadcast live to the main room.
Baz Box is an instrument effect pedal company founded by Necros/Big Chief - Barry Henssler, based in Chicago, Illinois. The current model, the “Fuzz Buzz Kill� is a modern twist on the classic Japanese Shin Ei Companion Fuzz. Providing a range of tones from Stooges scorch to Sabbath mud, the pedal wreaks havoc in the studio as well as on the stage.
Cantankerous artist/label mogul/bar owner Thomas Hazelmyer a.k.a. HAZE XXL has hand painted an edition of 10 FBK pedals. These will be available for sale and on display the night of the FBK Summit.
The Fuzz Buzz Kill Summit bears no responsibility for hearing loss or clothing loss among the attendees.
Coming "soon" the Baz Box Papua New Guinea model.
Video demo:
I'll give you guys the downlow on it after the show.

Love FY-2. However... all that fuss for a FY-2 clone, and why is the board layout so bad? Could they make a simple effect any bigger?

Dunno, I think it's his first pedal though.
I know the box is effing huge because they're all custom jobbers by Tom Hazelmyer of AmRep, but I don't know didly squat about the worky bits. Like the tone though.
Similar to your Shin Ei?

Yeah it's the same. The modern bit will be an extra gain stage to get the volume up again unlike vintage pedals. Mine does this too, but is better built.
