FUZZ- GIGAHEARTS FS-3000 Hyper Soup ___NEW ___ BOSS FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz clone

GIGAHEARTS  
 FS3000  
 HYPER SOUP 
$215.00 USD
Boss having borrowed from the 1968 Shin-ei or in America the Univox Super Fuzz made a octave Fuzz  between 1993 to 1997 that has rivalled them all. but since it was discontinued others come and go from time to time. The layout for this one is Volume, Gain Bass, Treble and a rotary switch with 4 voices. Fuzz 1, Scoop (or Fuzz 2), Hump which is a blend of all and Boost for the octave up. A second footswich brings on the Boost.
   CONCLUSION __ 
All and ant octave Fuzz units can get very, very nasty  
bordering on the unusable. I like mine scooped and 
then using it to Boost an OD. the OD tightens and 
cleans it up to useful proportions.

I have and use the $30.00 USD 
Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz
It sounds close enough to the Boss that never bet 
in a blindfold test you can hear any. It gets trashed 
as a plastic piece of junk that breaks down. 
I have had zero problems. The only pedals that died 
on me were brand names. Boss, MXR & Electro Harmonix 



FUZZ- REEVES ELECTRO Facet IZ ___ NEW ___ Fuzz Face clone on steroids

$350.00 USD
REEVES E L E C T R O
FACET     IZ   
On the surface it is simply a Fuzz Face with a tone control. 
Like all Reeves pedals every part is the best of the best 
and many parts the best is NOS of parts not made in 
5 or 6 decades.

CONCLUSION ___
Reeves are both a pedal and a work of art. They are a total indulgence. A Ferrari for those who are afraid of speed, LOL.

OVERDRIVE- SUPERCOOL PEDALS The Thneed ...almost a Klon, lol

 SuperCool Pedals 
The THNEED    
$200.00 USD
In my opinion the big deal about the Klon is its clean boost stage. 
It comes on at about 7 o'clock on the gain stage and literally fades 
out as a different mid gain stage fades in while the boost fades out around 9 o'clock. I love the boost stage of the Klon and I find the overdrive stage budget brand mediocre.
This pedal throws that overdrive stage out and replaces it with 
not just one sound but several you can get at inside the pedal. 
The first video covers all that.
    CONCLUSION __
Love it. It has some very inspiring sounds. I expect it could 
be an incredible boost to take the sound of for example a 
great MIAB into several new categories. Think of a pedal 
you own that is the perfect 'cake' but using this to add 
different icing's.

OVERDRIVE- MOSKY AUDIO Purple Box Preamp ___NEW ___ Xotic Preamp clone

$30.00 USD
MOSKY AUDIO Classic Series
Purple Box  -preamp
NUX have had a very impressive range of classic pedals for 5 years and others Mosky have finally caught on. This is Mosky's beefed up take on the Xotic BB preamp 1.5. Xotic is old school. They make pedals that are primarily to meant to act like hot rodding the amp you own. They are NOT an Amp-in-a-Box. The best thing about that is they do not have to compare to the yardstick of a real amp. 
It is more like the Fuzz thing. It is simply more about do you like it or not. If you don't it is more about taste than tech. 
The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble and Bass with a toggle that adds 
more saturation by compressing the signal. 
      CONCLUSION ___
It sounds good. You like it or not. It looks cool and the price is right.
The tone is all mids with an almost low gain Fuzz sound. 
I find uninspiring but usable.

ENHANCER PRE- SUSHI BOX FX More V.2 ...pixie dust-in-a-box

SUSHI BOX
More V.2
$265.00 USD
It is more of an enhancer than what most of us call a preamp. 
It is not about standard EQ or overloading the amps pre to 
make it distort. It uses 2 preamp tubes. They are similar to 
the usual 12AX7 but with less gain. A 12AV7 and a 12AT7. 
Although not the same the Dr. Z amps have a similar circuit. 
      CONCLUSION __
The objective was to give your sound more sparkle 
and clarity and a slight 3 dimensional overall vibe. 
It does indeed do that. I would prefer that I could 
do this but with a bit more exaggeration. A bit of 
in your face. It can however take a quite good tube
clean amp and make it sound like you spent a
thousand more for audible bragging rights, 😇.

thefineprint
This little sweetheart, the NUX Lacerate uses 
FETS to give it a very similar effect. I like 
that you can get inside the box to give 
a much more exaggerated vibe. 
A $70.00 USD price doesn't hurt either

FUZZ- TEACHING MACHINES Fuzzbillion Distortion Device ___NEW ___WTF !!!!

TEACHING MACHINES 
FuzzBillion   

$580.00 USD
The first and probably the last of the electronic devices 
to create audio flatulence ...Just dial in all 11 controls 
& you instantly get a sound even a Shoegazer would 
be challenged to use.
CONCLUSION __
___WTF were they thinking of!!!!
If the average player can not find a great 
sound from a pedal in 5 or 10 minutes max 
it is on its way to the grave yard. 
It takes 1 minute on a Muff or a Tone Bender 
& that's with the lights off ...on a dark stage.

OCTAVER- NUX AUDIO NPO-2 Tutti Polyphonic Octave Pedal ___NEW ___impressive!

$100.00 USD
NUX 
 TUTTI 
Exploring the layout tells its story. You get Dry, that blends 
your guitar signal with you octave one.  UP/BSP, it adjusts 
level for octave up plus lets you crate a split point where 
note higher then the setting do not trigger the octave. SUB 
is the level for the bass octave sound. A toggle switches 
from standard Poly mode or Bass or you can set the 
footswitch to momentary.
     CONCLUSION __ 
It has very good natural sound. It does not sound
synth like, but guitar like. Lag time is unnoticeable.
Tracking is dead on. Sonically it is up there with
the very best!!! The price is totally reasonable.
