Fuzz Review: Wounded Paw – Battering Ram

Stashed under: Reviews - Fuzz — grygrx @ 8:41 pm

                               Construction and cosmetic concerns:

Give it a good shake and it’s quiet. The thick black coating looks like you could drop it on to cement and it might not nick (not attempted). The screen-printing and labeling is clear and concise. Battery access is via the traditional four screw method. Internal bits are well laid out and standard boutique quality parts are used. Soldiering and layout are well done, and everything is expertly packed, and there is quite a bit going on here! The circuit board is firmly mounted on risers and cable runs are short and clean.

Power and jacks are located on the top (my preferred location). The in and out jacks are the opposite of what you see on most pedals with the in on the left side rather than the right. The left switch would be better labeled “bypass” rather than overdrive to help visually make clear the relationship between the OD and Fuzz.

  1. WOW! I WANT! That thing is awesome, and I really like the versatility. Price tag isn’t bad either.

  3. That very last thing you played after “just for you…” sounded like Portugal the Man’s It’s Complicated Being a Wizard.

    Are you a fan?
