OVERDRIVE- MAZA FX Kirk Distortion .... Metallica vibe? ...a high gain modded Plexi!

$175.00 USD
 MAZA FX KIRK DISTORTION 

An Argentine company with an ambitious high gain Plexi pedal.
The layout has Volume, Gain, Bass, and Treble with a switch for flat or a mid boost. It has an additional switch for two voices ..hard or soft.
There is virtually no info in English so I have no idea of the makers goal.
The name suggests Metallica but ol' Kirk was not using a such aggressive sound on tour. I actually don't care as I find the pedal sounds a lot fatter :-)
The video is impressive but keep in mine that the amp for the test is very brite and clean with a lot of headroom. 
Video one is an LP and the 2nd is a Strat.

CONCLUSION
It is capable of both a very aggressive and a sweet tone. 
It is harmonically rich. This takes great design and no compromise 
on the parts used. The pedal sounds very tight but part of that is the amp. 
Even so you can not fake such rich tone or the balz this thing kicks out.
The pedal is damn impressive and the quality
out weighs the price by a lot!!!
