This pedal couldn't be easier to operate: three knobs and a dipswitch all with labels that are self explanatory. Admittedly, I struggle with fuzzes. I love the sounds other players can get, but I have yet to achieve sonic bliss with a fuzz myself. I have however, come to understand that the weak link is me - not the pedals I've tried. This is as of yet the fuzz that has worked best for me. Soundwise, it's more towards Tonebender territory than a Muff-style fuzz. Also, this pedal works best with single-coil pickups IMO.
