FUZZ - DUSKY ELECTRONICS Augustus Octave Fuzz ...the new contender ???

$200.00 USD
DUSKY ELECTRONICS
AUGUSTUS OCTAVE FUZZ 
The company make 10 dirt pedals and a 30 watt amp. The pedals are simple straight forward Fuzz, boosts and old style hard clipper Distortions.
The Augustus is their take on the classic Octavia Octave Fuzz.The layout is gain, level, treble and bass.
The use of mosfets on the input and output plus an internal buffer isolate the pedal 
from the common interference of others designs. It also gives you adequate output level a problem on ciratant settings with competitive products from rivals.
CONCLUSION 
The all bells and whistles Solidgold Formula 76 Plus based on the defunct Boss Octave Fuzz take is the one to beat but it comes in a big box and is another $50.00. The much whispered about Boss reissue is still not out and it was promised but pulled twice.
In the end like all pedals it stands or falls on it's own merit. It sounds damn good 
and it is definitely a candidate to replace my discontinued compact Solid Gold. 
I can work around my compat '76' but it is not totally free of interference.
