FUZZ- BALTIMORE SONIC RESEARCH INSTITUDE Impossible Colors ...apparently Not?

BALTIMORE SONIC RESEARCH INSTITUDE
 Impossible Colors  ||| 
$240.00 USD
If this company was a Cancer Research Institute their next
big announcement would be that cigarettes cause cancer, lol.
In short these guys are laying the hype on with a trowel. 
They could win back some respect if they changed the
name to  Baltimore Sonics Flying Circus.
The layout is Volume, Texture messes with the BIAS. 
Voice, which is a Tilt EQ so you do not lose all your lows by pushing up your highs. and Attack allows going from a near
clean click from your pick to something softer but  still with
some grit. The Range switch works with Texture as a kind of quantity off ...control. The Depth switch gives you 
dynamics over saturation. the Mode toggle appears to your clipping diode options. This pedal uses a transformer on 
the input for faux dynamics & sag. Nice! 
 
      CONCLUSION ___ 
It is the yet another of the never ending OpAmp wondertoys. 
It has very much a silicon vibe to it and is more Muff than 
Tone Bender. That said there are few basic sounds especially 
the gnarly ones that I find very appealing. The thing is once 
you scoot pass $200.00 USD you want some Oh f.ing WOW!!! 
I am not wowing this one. 
For those in the poverty bracket I again strongly suggest  
a $35.00 USD GOKKO AUDIO JK-61 Mogwai with its OD 
or Fuzz magic toggle.
