Yes me too. I never heard of the guy. OK, OK it was when Alt. discovered Heavy Metal! But WTF. A pedals is a pedal so let's check it out.
It is a cross between a Fuzz and hard clipper distortion. I suspect a silicon transistor or two and an OpAmp or in plain English a Muff and a Rat pedal.
You get 3 way EQ, Gain, Boost and a Mix to blend in some clean sound. The Fuzz has just the right amount of hash as the BIAS is set to a bit of growl.
CONCLUSION
I am sure that a few classic designs ended up in part in this pedal but not in a remotely obvious way In short it is it's own thing. It has loads of character.
You might want to check out Wamplers $150 Ratbane mini pedal that went on sale yesterday. It too goes into the same territory.
Cmon Paul, Buzz gave Kurt Colbain, his first job as a roadie for the Melvins. He is one of the BEST out there, still challenging his audience at every turn.His track record is undeniable. Start with Houdini.
