FUZZ- FUZZSIMP FX Fuzzshrimp ...Fuzz Face?

 FUZZSIMP FX FUZZSHRIMP FUZZ 

$90.00 USD
When I heard it I the first thing I thought was Fuzz Face because it has thick warm germanium transistors kind of sound. It is apparently based off of the Interfax Harmonic Percolator. A Fuzz that uses one silicon transistor and a second germanium PNP transistor. The PNP is odd because it not an audio transistor in fact it's most popular use is for that are used in outdoor lights that turn on when it goes dark etc. Add to that it passes most even order harmonics. this is the big deal thing about the Tube Screamer but they could not be more different as the Interface is a nasty Fuzz not a transparent OD.
The layout is dead simply it is simply gain and level.
CONCLUSION
The pedal was just released and the first run is 5 pedals.
You can preorder for a run in June. The company has 
10 other pedals. They are primarily Fuzz and Drives with a 
twist on the classics. I already did the Shroot a take on a Muff? 
This one definitely has a Fuzz Face vibe. It is also 
just as simple a pedal. I do not have anything useable
with germanium vibe. I have a few antiques but they all
have issues. So this is very intriguing.
