DESCRIPTION:
This plastic eBay prize was a happy accident! Apparently hailing from the 80s, this turns out be a characterful, slightly gated, mid-to-high-gain fuzz which is just the thing for down-tuned riffing. Its interesting compression characteristics might also make it ideal for dirty slide playing (if that's what you're into, you pervert!)... Paired with a sensible tone control which never gets muddy or overly shrill and armed with enough volume to push the front end of the amp, this could be exactly the bargain vintage fuzz you've been looking for!
