Out of the box all I could see was how big this pedal was. It seemed tall and wide, and with just two knobs and two switches I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why it needed to be so damn big. I plugged it in (and it happened to be in the twiggy mode) and I though: “yeah this sounds alright, but hardly worth the price.”

Then I changed it to wiggy mode. Dear lord, the earth shattering massive low end blasting fuzz death crushing mayhem of my colon blown spooge and brain matter explosion! When I woke later from my 20 minute jam, I thought… maybe he has something here.

I’ve exchanged some banter and questions with Mr. Monk and he was kind enough to respond to a interview request. While being a little elusive about things in general, I did find out that the Fuzzpotion is designed to share some clipping characteristics with the Shin-ei Superfuzz (univox superfuzz, etc).
