At UGD, Evan mentioned that the Tweak Fuzz began shipping last week.
As soon as I got home, I ordered one from Kevin @ BlackRose.
I got a note back:
"Thank you for your order. You are our first customer to purchase the Tweak Fuzz. Please let me know what you think of the pedal after you have used it a few times.
Thanks,
Kevin Bassett
Black Rose Custom Instruments"
anyway, it was here when I got home today, so I plugged in for half an hour or so ...
very cool ... a nice smooth fuzz that can get nasty when cranked ..
I played my "avatar" strat thru my Blues Jr. I set the TF on "5", with the volume and gain around 1 o' clock.
Like most fuzz pedals, the best setting for me is on the neck pup, with the tone backed off and the volume cranked ... gets you into that "whooooop whooooop" endless s u s t a i n
anyway, highly recommended - and for the $$, a no brainer for those looking for a fuzz pedal ... it'll get you those "Heart Full of Soul" and "Foxey Lady" tones.
for the record, I've got several fuzz boxes for reference - a couple Dunlop Fuzz Faces, including one modded at their Custom Shop, a Dunlop round Jimi fuzz, a newer Arbiter FF, a SoulBender, a Yardbox, and an Orange Sunshine made by Tracy Sands, who works at Bad Cat now.
The Tweak Fuzz will hang with all these. I haven't explored all the tweak settings yet, but so far, so good.
Unfortunately, I'm dealing with computer hell lately, so it might be a while before I can post clips
Peace
