FUZZ- MYTHOS Au79 (Golden Fleece) ..A Fuzz designed for stacking!!! More than Impressive!!!

 FUZZ MYTHOS Au79 (GOLDEN FLEECE) 
$140.00 USD

This is the third generation of this pedal. Oddy it is virtually the same as the first.  Zach Broyles started 
the company in 2010. A familiar story where he made pedals for himself and then for friends etc. Not being 
an engineer guys like him come and go quickly unless 
they have great ear for what simply sounds great.



Living in Nashville and for years played in Americana type bands
gives him the background where what sounds good is good. lol
A highly personable guy with a good natured but acid wit gives him
an edge to get our attention. Finally being a very good player of his 
chosen gendre does a lot to not only make a pedal that sounds
great. It also has a distinct organic quality and still response to 
your touch.
The reason a third generation was made was because the second one was perhaps a bit tighter, clearer and more aggressive. Many love it and it is still available.  Some players did not find it very useful using it live because unlike the first it did not stack well. Since Zach has a history of playing clubs he new exactly where his critics were coming from. This is the kind of pedal when stacked with a good OD can fatten it up big time without stealing the show.
Having compared the other. It has a OD/Fuzz sound that others do better.








CONCLUSION
I can't even find a piece of lint to pick. It is a great sounding Fuzz on it's own .
It doesn't have the spluttering and drop outs of many Fuzz pedals which limits 
where they can fit on your tunes. It can work with everyone no matter if you  
are in a wedding band or you are have an up and coming alternative band 
doing your own tunes.
This pedal is a little jewel that could easily end up flying under the radar. 
I am glad to be part of the word of mouth crowd that are trying to stop that.
