FUZZ- MYTHOS ARGO Octave Fuzz... instant gratification!!!

$225.00 USD
MYTHOS   Argo  Octave Fuzz
The trouble with some of the most exciting Fuzz pedals like the octave up 
variety is they are like driving a Ferrari that doesn't have brakes and can 
shift gears forwards but not back, lol.
To get such a pedal to be usable in any Pop/Rock tune or in plain English. 
What a non-playing listener calls a song is a struggle. 
I have such pedals and once I have tweaked it into a civilized and sensible sound I want to weld the pots in place. Mythos takes such a pedal and welds it in place. you merely take the Gain to as much dirt as you prefer. You the Blend in as much octave up madness as you also prefer and turn up or if needed
down the volume. 

 

CONCLUSION ___ 
I can't fault it. It not only sounds killer. It refuses to go Shoegaze no matter how hard you try. You do have to become accustomed to not spending 10 minutes to dial in the the right sound for a 2 minute song, but nothing is perfect. Just suck it up and live with it😕  
____ OR
 

 

It sounds much like the German Valbruch Octavia. 
The Fender Hammertone Fuzz is a killer close clone
and it is just $80.00 USD
