FUZZ- GROUND KING FX Halo Fuzz ...killer take on a Colorsound Fuzz Box :-)

 GROUND KING HALO FUZZ 

$105.00 USD
A new kid on the block. There is zero info about the guy except the address is in Lappeenranta Finland. It appears he has only one pedal. WTF everyone has to start somewhere.
Well Mr. G. King has come up with a good idea. "Why not do a take on the original Colorsound one knob Fuzz Box?" 
The layout is a single knob to change the bias to add or tame the growl, spit and sputter. 
A 3 way switch lets you boost either the highs, mids or lows.
CONCLUSION
If you are a Fuzz guy you gotta love it. It really has a recognizable Colorsound Fuzz Box vibe. At its time in the 70's there was no such thing as genres like Doom but 
it certainly found it's calling years after its demise.
It looks cool and best of all is reasonably priced. Damn impressive!!!
It certainly is on my 'BUY ME' list of Fuzz pedals :-)


the fine print
I got curious. I thought there must be others cloning the 'Fuzz Box'. The few I found are no longer made. Some companies that specialize in Doom and other related genres have 'one knobs.' But like many pedal companies think that their 'Amazing Illuminating Construct' is not actually a Colorsound light bulb. In short they are not better than the Ground King but are more pricey. WTF!!!!
