Yeah its pretty good. I like it.
The mids knob is a good thing.
I like the bias control hidden inside so you can set how firm the low end is.
Its got plenty of complexity in the note sustain/decay.
Its got more definition than an NKT275 sunface.
It has that characteristic "bump" in the fuzz when you roll your guitar volume between 9 and 10. It gets clean enough as you roll back. If you need dead clean you can always turn the sucker off! Trimming the bias to suit your guitar will give you the right sizzle/low end balance at rolled back volumes.
Cool pedal.
It will definitely get some gig/recording time.
Always horses for courses, but i like the way it interacts with a JTM style amp. The cut of silicon rather than the smoothness germanium is cool.
Ill do another update after a gig or two, but i've always been happy with silicon whereas i have found germanium to be temperamental and unpredictable.
Perhaps one way to compare silicon fuzz faces to germanium is kinda like comparing greenback speakers to g12h's. They are both cool for different reasons.
As far as silicon fuzz faces go tho, the fulltone 70 is a winner. Well worth checking out. Plus it has a regular power socket and an LED!
