a small Canadian start up business worth supporting. If you're in the market for a fuzz face: Such a fun pedal to play. So many usable tones with just the volume and tone on the guitar. It responds extremely well to varied pick and finger attack. And although it sounds like a fuzz face it lets your different guitars and amps tones all shine through. Best gear purchase I've made in a long time. Have to get some recording done to show it off.

IMHO it was expensive, for me, but in this case you're not paying for hype. For me it was totally worth it. It will probably take a long time for something else to displace it. But, it's exactly what I've been looking for.

Szabor was kind enough to loan me one of his builds to try (advantages of being local) It was a BC183 silicon version.

I had a chance to try it with multiple guitars and amps, and it really is a superior fuzz pedal. The build quality/enclosure is amazing, but it is also a well tuned and super usable fuzz. I ran it through a Marshall Plexi RI and my Matchless DC30, and it loves volume-the low end and high end are really well balanced and controlled so it just sounds better and better as you turn the amp up. As usual, turning up the volume of the pedal also helps the sound, and it sounded best with the output full up and the fuzz knob at about 3/4.

It was best with the strat, but I was surprised to find that even humbucker guitars sound great.

I’m not sure how it would work with a pedal board, but on the floor the large, stable enclosure is great.

All in all this is a superior fuzz pedal.

Thanks all,

Really love to hear that those of you have enjoyed them and have taken the time to share your experiences. It means a lot to me. I put a lot of love into each pedal and always treat them as if they were going to be me own. It’s often hard to pass them along but I can only ever hope that they will go to a home that will play them and enjoy them.

It’s also a learning experience, as I am continually growing and improving my process of all aspects of the builds (enclosures, wiring, tuning, etc.).

Thanks to all of you!

Proud owner of #8 here! It's a special thing: @Sabzor took time on the phone to understand how I intended to use the fuzz and tuned it accordingly. BC183 cleans up really well with single coils and it roars if you open up the volume. Aesthetically, I love the relic job on the housing and the super clean internals.
