FUZZ/OD- HAGGTRONIX Mothman Dual Drive ...the price isn't very scary?

$120.00 USD
 HAGGTRONIX 
MOTHMAN DUAL DRIVE
A small company in Nashville that makes many pedals but primarily dirt pedals for the Doom and Stoner Players. 
The layout is simple as both the OD and Fuzz circuits 
are fixed and you have a level for each.  
  CONCLUSION ___
How does one critique this pedal? 
It is what it is, just fat and nasty. 
Though I must admit it has good 
definition and note separation. 
In short you can play a bit busy 
and/or at faster tempos than a 
chain dragging Doom grove.

    This type of pedal is usually referred to as a Fuzzy Drive. It is an Opamp dirt pedal. To over simplify a Tube Screamer that by adding diodes can as dirty as you like. Many use both a Opamp Muff or go straight to a Rat for the basic topography. I could list 20 pedals I know of and there could be double. That said most go for what gives them a high gain Metal sound that leans more to an OD than a Fuzz. I highly doubt that this is based off of an old school classic all transistor based Fuzz like a early Muff or Tonebender derivative. If it was it would likely be a lot more money.
