Value For Money : Excellent
It is a boutique pedal handcrafted in the USA by a frapadingue a category analogue fuzz buzz grunch groumph grrrrzzzz psychotic option with a monstrous ...

The connectors, switches, knobs, and footswitch exude quality and strength, good metal case, standard power boss.

UTILIZATION

configuration is very simple for me it happens randomly ... this I turn the knobs and switches I activate them without knowing what it's going to give, and I always manage to have a huge sound. all the controls interact in a very sensitive way. therefore a millimeter more or less in the race for a knob and the sound changes radically ... In addition, depending on the guitar pickups (single or double, large output level or not) and setting the tone, the texture of the fuzz also changed completely.

- A knob level: he acts "normally" between 0 and 2.5, then this is the avalanche gain and compression to make blunders your speakers ...
- A knob texture: well it seems to act on the general texture and grain, but with a logic that I still do not understand ...
- A knob starve: the bin will know?? but this thing with the widget bar to spin alone bleep ca, ca grind, hard ca, ca lot of space harmonics addition, a kind of VCF LFO of death that kills ... AC plays alone ... it seems that simulates AC power annorexique ... (Old type battery ...)

2 switch, not identified on my pedal, an octave up switch and switch "Squeel" you it seems .... ben the same I will not know to tell you how it works, but it works ...

2 footswitch, a bypass, this one is normal, and starve that triggers sounds weird ...

the manual, there is no ...

Configuration very fun so we turn, we switch, we cheat, we play, we take a slap and over again .... we identify one or two sounds, and we pray that repeat the same setting ...

SOUND QUALITY

Lovers or gilmour hendrix, go your way and buy a big muff or a mxr. although, in taming the beast, you can manage to have sound almost conventional ...

on the other hand for punks, alternative, the noisy, the appliances, and other sounds crazy strumming, it's the holy grail ...

Sound living, monstrous, unpredictable, nervous, dry and squeaky tears. A record low this very tense and nervous, we do not expect it with a fuzz, and acute tear without ear-splitting ... AC must be monstrous with a bass or a synth (not yet tried with).

For rhythmic riffs or punk, grunge, indie electro mechanical Tyrannosaurus is a fast race ... for solos, it's harder to tame, but when it does, it's huge.

The foot with this pedal is to play with feedback ... as she goes into more strange noises with starve, we can create space overseas feedbacks, AC hangs on ...

What is most amazing about this machine, either live or recording is that it cuts through the mix without overwriting the other instruments, whatever the level and more ... I already made two recordings with no EQ in the mix, a shot level, a pan shot, and it's over ... live like it.

Little detail has its importance, the pedal does absolutely no breath ... must say that given the monstrous noise that it can generate, there is a gate in a circuit, we hear that, but it's not annoying, you learn to play with.

OVERALL OPINION

A weapon of mass destruction for rhythmic punk or indie. A real treat for hackers sounds like me too (if you like the sounds are pretty good on ....). I was looking for a zvexx or death by audio and I fell over the accident, much cheaper, the price / quality ratio is excellent, and it was not the sound of everyone ...
