I bought this to replace my Fuzzrite which can sound thin and get lost in the mix when playing live. This Surfy Fuzz has done more than just that. The sounds and tones you can get can cover any surf inspired rock/indie/punk but together with the Japan 70's octave fuzz you can get into anything from 60's surf, classic rock, early punk, thrash metal and even 90's grunge. Just roll back your tone or volume pot on your guitar and it will act as an OD, distortion, and of course a very unique Fuzz. This thing is a buzzsaw. I love it.
