FUZZ- EDDIE RIFKIND KarenX ___NEW___ Colorsound Fuzz Box clone with more knobs, lol

EDDIE RIFKIND EFFECTS  
___🌽
KARENX*  
$120.00 USD
It is based on a one knob Colorsound Fuzz Box pedal designed by Dick Denny famous for the Vox AC30 amp. Loosely based from a Tone Bender.
The layout is 2 volumes, both input and output. Then treble and bass.
The one knob Colorsound was a very simple two transistors basic circuit. The whole point of it was to be cheap at a time when duties alone made imports pricey into the UK and it had to compete with the Tone Bender. In short it was the cheapest dirt pedal you could buy. It sounded very good in spite of being made to a price point. 
The layout of the Eddie give volume in and out plus treble and bass. 
CONCLUSION ____
The price is reasonable but keep in mind other Fuzz boxes use a lot more parts. It has no direct equivalent but there are boatloads of cheaper MIC Fuzz pedals that offer a lot from $30 to $50. Oddly enough it sounds more like a hardclipper medium gain OD than a Fuzz. In any case it has just one fundament sound but enough tweaking to fit most rigs.
