Pre-Amp/FUZZ- JHS 424 Gain Stage Fuzz___NEW___ gimmicky nonsense

JHS 424 Gain Stage Fuzz .. 
$250.00 USD
They took the circuit from a Tascam 424 Porta-Studio of which 
there were 5 of before Tascam gave up on an analog recorder 
using consumer cassette tape cartridges. We are supposed to 
be enchanted by all this nostalgia and want to have it turned 
into a very lame overpriced Fuzz. 
Is there some vibe and nuance worth consuming? Yes but 
you can get the same kind of sounds with a lot more with 
the right pre/Fuzz.
     CONCLUSION ___ 
The JV Effects Transmission is handmade NOS parts 
Pre from a 60's single mic Radio transmission board. 
It gives you both a crisp, sharp maximum poke pre 
up to a nasty, nasty Fuzz. Both have some character 
and a bit of WOW, unlike this and it is $95.00 USD.  
I use mine as an always on enhancer mud remover 
of the whole chain.
