FUZZ- GCI Jugendstil Heavy Metal Fuzz ... stalking the a Boss HM-2

$185.00 USD
 GCI JUGENDSTIL HEAVY METAL FUZZ 
I have to tip my hat to GCI in calling a Fuzz a Fuzz instead of shrouding the truth passing this off as an OD. A great Fuzz is no shame to use no matter what the genre. GSI was one of the first to treat all genres of Metal as a legitimate musical expression and not some joke of the 'Dumble-ites'. 
The layout is volume is volume and gain with a 'loud' control which is a fixed EQ that is taken from the Boss HM-2. The 'sweep' control allows you to control where you want the mid boost frequency to be centered on.
CONCLUSION
It sounds to me more the same than different. It does have more bass so bass player using the Boss may wish 
to move to it. I am a great believer in too much over too 
little. Adding bass by boosting is never as tight or clean 
as a pedal that makes it part of the circuit in the first place.
Considering it is very precisely genre specific versatility was
never it's intention. I think they hit the bullseye!
