A lot of people know about how the SF300 (and maybe the boss FZ-2 of which it was based, idk) a 4th secret mode if you get the switch stuck between fuzz 1 and 2, but I was experimenting with it today and noticed it has a much better secret setting if you get it stuck between the boost and fuzz 2 settings.
It doesn't sound like an HM-2, but it's in that same genre of gnarly fuzz that's really more designed to scare the kids than to be musical. I've been messing around with it for about a half an hour now and it's just an insane sound.
I like it enough that I may end up putting it in a new enclosure with a propper footswitch and a 5 way switch. Also this setting seems to bypass the volume control, so I think I will do a little circuit analysis and add a seperate volume control for the boost and second secret setting somewhere in there.
