We said: “The tonal voicing feels just right, with a nice balance of frequencies that won’t radically

£200

We said: “A classic tactile fuzz with loads of sustain and good note articulation. There’s plenty of gain for boosting an amp and a useful tonal range too.”

We said: “It’s true forté is unbridled sonic terrorism, with staccato-gated fuzz, squeals,
