FUZZ- RARE BUZZ EFFECTS Fuzz Bob-omb ... a Shin-Ei FY2 for the modern era?

RARE BUZZ EFFECTS FUZZ BOB-OMB 
$150.00 USD
A very simple old school germanium Fuzz with complete with NOS transistors. It definitely has a 
Shin-Ei FY2 vibe.
The layout gives you a volume and a tone control that also shapes the voicing in good way when pushed. It is buffered both in and out to give it stability and make it work on board with other pedals.
CONCLUSION
It sounds good in a nasty way, lol. 
The Shin-Ei FY2 was the first of the Fat Fuzz pedals with a heavy low end. This gives you that but with modern updates to make it pedalboard friendly. 
The keyword is 'usable'.



the fine print
Impressive but I find the modern classic the SOLIDGOLD 76 
certainly comparable. It has a monstrous low end. 
A bit more at $175.00 USD but worth comparing.
