Conclusion:

This is not a bass fuzz, but it is very usable by bass. The pedal in most settings is acting as a boost and doing very little to impact the frequency outputs. It’s the sonic equivalent of a ‘cherry on top’, where you get all the good flavor you put into the cone, with a little extra sumthin sumthin… While this is unlike a lot of other fuzz pedals that I’ve tried I do like it, even though it’s a tad subtler than I would normally go for.

With the control cranked to 5 o’clock the fundamental note and attack are there AND you get some sparkly fizz thrown in on the side. For people that are overwhelmed by fuzz and how to use it in a band context this will be a great pedal, because you can probably use it without offending any but the most conservative of guitar players, because at the core you still sound like you!

Quick playing and ringing arpeggios aren’t impacted negatively in your core sound, but the fuzz sitting on top does get a little indistinct.

An affordable pedal, excellent usability on bass and a more subtle flavor than your average fuzz will make this a great choice for some people. Is this the time of renewal and change as fortold in the Chinease Zodic for Devi Ever as “the new fuzz conservative”? I doubt it, but let the year play out before making a decision!

As always, if you have any questions, leave a comment or let me know

Note: A rating of 5 = acceptable and should considered a ‘good’ basic score
