FUZZ- MAS EFFECTS Sona Fuzz ... Fuzztrating ???

MAS EFFECTS SONA FUZZ
From Lockport Illinois comes this little gem. 
$150.00 USD
The company does a handful of pedals that seem to lack any direction.
They have a mini Fuzz with a dozen different graphics, a Harmonic Tremolo and an exact clone of a REV 4 OD, WTF. 
Oh, and they sell a random collection of parts and a very pricey 'digital pedal' at $359.00 USD. What it does is not clear, because it literally doesn't say. 
It all points to a love of recreational pharmaceuticals, but we will put it down to 'Artist Licence'.
It is a 4 transistor Fuzz. The layout is the volume, gain and tone with a switch to match your input to create a wooly open or tight sound. There is an internal BIAS control to set the pedal to a Fuzz with spit and sputter to OD tight. The tone control is fixed to both a high and low pass filter which in one direct tightens the lows and the other end cuts any spike highs.
CONCLUSION
The pedal is very comprehensive and the internal switches make it the easy to set it up to a real world sweet spot. It is damn impressive.
