FUZZ- BLEAK DISTRICT ELECTRIC Scar Fuzz ___NEW ___ Big Muff NYC resurrection !

TRIUNGULO SCAR FUZZ 
$200.00 USD
Back in the days when there weren't any gourmet pedals there was Frantone Pedals. 
A young lady that made Fuzz pedals. Not only made them but reinvented the wheel with designs that exist only by using hers. When Mike Matthews was able to buy back the the rights to Electro-Harmonix a few years after going bankrupt he had to start from scratch. He brought in Fran Blanche as a one man, oops lady show. She was head of design and managed the whole operation. 
She even trained the employees. Nothing less excellent soldering was acceptable.
E-H without a Muff is not E-H. 
The NYC is often called the Jack White Fuzz. Needless to say this has pushed the used price into 'Klonsville'
One reason that hurt E-H before bankruptcy was pedals were gradually becoming cool but the new thing 'Overdrives' were thought cool a fuzz was passe. She felt the old Muffs were not going to cut it in this new world of Tube Screamers and Boss pedals.
The old Fuzz was harsh and had no mids so in a band it could sound thin and abrasive. She made the new NYC Fuzz massive. A total wall of sound. gave it some headroom and 
rich overtones and all this free of any mud.
The 'Scar has the usual level, tone and gain. Access to the BIAS and 3 fixed voicings on a toggle.
One totally flat from bass to high mids flat then a scooped and the ever popular mid boost 
You can mix in clean which is mainly there for Bass players.
CONCLUSION
It certainly delivers and then adds more. A Muff is never a bad idea to have in your 
kit and this is a damn good one. Damned if it doesn't even look cool!!!
