FUZZ- ALLEN EXLEY CLASSIC FX Reactor Fuzz ...old school with twist

ALLEN EXLEY FX REACTOR FUZZ 
$200.00 USD
Ol' Allen is the go to guy for all things vintage. Especially Brit guitars and
Hofner gear. Needless to say vintage pedals as well. He has a take on several. He is all about keeping the best of the old and adding things that make them usable to the players of today.
The Reactor has more or less a fixed but killer voice but it can be turned on its head by what is basically a sweepable band pass filter. It changes the resonant point anywhere across the mids. So in short you only need it's two controls. A mid sweep and level. The idea is simple but the results are killer. You can fatten the sound or push thru the mix in any band. Oddly it is all you need to have the kind of control a modern OD gives you with what is noticeably a 60's Fuzz.
CONCLUSION
Just damn impressive. The sound is excellent and the industrial vibe of the enclosure and reasonable price just screams 'buy me!"
