I purchased this pedal to give my pedal board more variety, above distortion and overdrive. This pedal has a wide range of sounds, and seems more versatile than comparable fuzz pedals. The pedal works well at both extremes, from a subtle fuzzy overtone, to a very heavy fuzz. You can also adjust the tone of the fuzz, to add bass, mids, or treble, and change the overall sound of your playing. My only complaint, is that the pedal is difficult to dial in. When the sound is almost, but not quite perfect, even the slightest turn of a knob will make the fuzz too harsh or soft, or will mess up the tone. Overall, once dialed in, this pedal sounds great, and it has proven to be a good addition to my pedal board.
This pedal sounds great, is on the aggressive side for a fuzz but not quite as mental sounding as the Zvex Fuzz Factory. My only qualm is that due to the dark tone, it can sound like a level drop when the pedal is engaged and the higher frequencies of the clean tone get eaten up, but I'm sure this can be dialed in better with more time spent on the settings.

On the whole, it's a quality pedal with some very good tones in it. True bypass and solid construction. But as I usually find with distortions that have more than three knobs, it has more than one sound I like, but they're not readily accessable. So I rate it pretty high for studio and recording application. But live, not so much. When I know there is a sound I like available at my feet I kinda want it right there. But it's too big and too expensive to put two of these on your board. And I'm not much into getting down on my knees during a set. Ya can't always get what ya want....
I use this pedal with a 5 string bass and let me tell you, I can keep my deep presence in the low end while mixing in a very dynamic fuzz using just this pedal. With the cruch feature (essentially a compressor) I can get very even fuzz for long droning sustain and the scoop feature is very helpful to get that high and low spiked sound everyone loves on bass. An excellent pedal for a great price for any bass player wanting that extra fuzz tone without losing their low end. Unsure if this is for you? YouTube has many helpful videos demonstrating all the very useful features of this pedal. Check them out! You won't regret it.
Surprisingly versatile. While it shines as a full on fuzz pedal dripping with gain, you can get a great tone out of it with the fuzz dialed back more like on the edge of distortion and fuzz. Thick tone leaves your lows intact for serious chug while highs come thru strong but heavily clipped. I find it works well with my Digitech Drop pedal (which muddies tone going thru it) without just becoming sludge. Sustain for days without going straight into feedback. The knobs offer a huge range to work with, so it may take some time to really dial this pedal in, but the results are worth it. Thunderous low chugs, fuzzy single note highs- from extreme distortion to extreme fuzz- this pedal pretty much has you covered.
