ElectroniX MESSdrive Hybrid+ Bass Fuzz Review

Stashed under: Reviews - Fuzz — grygrx @ 7:47 pm

Construction and cosmetic concerns:

Pedal is well built and packs alot of punch into a very small form factor. The top mounted power jack is my prefered location making easy for me. I actually wish this was a ‘standard’ on pedals, it’s annoying to have one on the left one on the right, below the output, over the output… just stick them all on the top (Your milage may vary). Graphics and markings are placed using clear stickers. Just working with it here in the house, I’ve scratched some of the ink off, and the small sticker by the power jack is peeling a little. The paint seems very solid and has so far resisted chipping when I’ve been a little careless. Wiring and soldiering looks well done, and is nice and compact. New pedal came with a battery, which is something I always appreciate. Access to the battery is four screws as seen on many botique pedals. The knobs seem a little odd on the clean lines of this pedal, but I’m really just being a nit-picky bitch now. There are certainly no durability concerns with this pedal.

  1. Hi,
    I’m searching for a bass fuzz which has a nice vintage sound, but can get dirty also. I already have a Little Big Muff, but I need a pedal which gives me more low-end. I play mainly stoner/fuzz/psychedelic rock. Which one would fit me better; this one or the FACEDrive?
