Helmut
FUZZSTORTION
you can do one way. In short one guy did not invent one and all
others are clones of it.See below. A visitor to SBS noticed this looks like Howard Gees,
$300.00 USD KittycatFX Mohair Fuzzstortion. Both Howard and
the 2 partners that constitute SpellcasterFX all worked at
Catalinbread, LOL.
The company is from Portland Oregon. They make dirt pedals
and with prices all under $175.00 USD they are a welcome
newcomer.The layout is Volume,Tone & Gain with Range adding more gain.
A second footswitch adds a boost.

CONCLUSION__
Well first thing is the pedals old school enclosure is dead cool.
The price tells me it is likely an OpAmp hard clipper
using a blend of softer or harder sounding clipping diodes.
The tone is very dark and bloated. In my book it is simply
muddy. It lacks bite and note definition. That
said I have a few pedals That are too dark
but I stack on other pedals to fix it.
