This machine is, in essence, two sounds out of phase with each other which you blend together using the "DEPTH" control. The first is a darkish, cleanish boost; the second is super bright, buzzy full-on fuzz. You can get these tones in isolation at the extremes of the ?DEPTH? control ? but the fun starts when you mix these two out-of-phase signals together! Three dimensional fuzz tones start leaping out, with pseudo octave effects rearing their buzzy heads.
In terms of sounds it can cover a broad range of fuzz and dirty tones like Buffalo Springfield (Steve Stills used one), the Stooges, Davie Allan, Can. It can do all manner of 60's and 70's retro psychedelic, garage, rock sounds. Norman Greenbaum?s recording of "Spirit of the Sky" is a great example of the original.
There are two color options available; cobalt blue and yellow, depending on dealer stock.
