FUZZ- MXR Brown Acid Fuzz ... a Colorsound Tone Bender ???

$150.00 USD
MXR 
BROWN ACID FUZZ 
This is the MXR take on a Tone Bender and since it is a silicon Fuzz by default it is a Colorsound Jumbo ToneBender. It was final sibling in the Tone Bender family and some critics say it is a Big Muff rip off. I find that nuts as it has some decent mids instead of F,all mids. In fact it sounds very much like all Tone Benders. 
The layout is a simple volume , gain and tone. This pedal is from the Custom Shop line and they only made 500. At the moment Prymaxe are blowing them out at $113.00 USD.
CONCLUSION
It sounds very good but not impressive. I have been spoiled. I have the Big Knob Pedals Coloursound Jumbo. It is scary in how close it sounds to the original. If your back was turned with them side by side don't bet you can tell any difference :-)
At $130.00 USD it is a steal!

Compare it to the Big Knob
who nailed the original
