FUZZ- MAGNETIC EFFECTS White Atom ...a classic sound with a modern twist

$165.00 USD
 MAGNETIC EFFECTS WHITE ATOM 
I fell into this one after hearing the Cornell OD Special one is an OD & this is Fuzz. You can a similar warm sound from this Fuzz but you can take it into that classic disintegration thing too.

It uses both a germanium and silicon transistors
The idea works very well as the silicon neutralizes the nasal thing  from the sound and tightens it up but the germanium gives you the warmth and texture of a Fuzz Face.
You get volume,gain, bass treble and texture. Texture allows you to change the bias. I love a bias control because you can then get anything from self destruct to a near OD sound.
The OD sound on this is killer It alone is worth the price of the pedal.

This is very well made and versatile Fuzz. The Hammond ...style type B box 
is always welcomed as you get easy access to the controls but a reasonable size footprint.

CONCLUSION
A Fuzz from the old school where the designers were trying to invent the OD but technology hadn't caught up with that. You get the aggression of a Fuzz but the control of an OD.
It could easily substitute for an OD.
