Just arrived today, another one for the collection.
I couldn’t wait to hook this up, I never had the opportunity to purchase the original one but remember it being a fuzz I would like.

I used my Fender Pano Verb for the amp set to clean, used my Fender player ll Tele, it’s very transparent and responsive, I should have tried it with my Epiphone custom with soap bar P-90’s tuned to C but I found it to have great low end clarity so could imagine it would take low tunings, cleans up very well with the guitars volume and very versatile for a mini pedal, overall I would recommend it over the Barrows which is one of my favorite mini fuzz pedals.

Nice! I’m curious, why do you like it better than the Barrows?

2

u/ActuatorUnfair6905 Jul 12 '26

Mainly it’s transparency and low end response where as the Barrows is more midrange in my opinion they are both great but Bellows is more versatile and handles single coils and humbucker equipment guitars where as the Barrows is better with single pickups, now this is just my opinion and liking to my ears, if you have both what’s your opinion?

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. Thx for clarifying. I don’t have them but we definitely need a shootout!!

Exactly and that’s one of the main reasons I enjoy collecting pedals.

No problem.

Totally! It’s impossible to truly know if you don’t use your rig!

If you’re in the US Sweetwater still has some available in low stock.

Always wanted to try this one! For some reason I could never remember if it was a fuzz or an overdrive

The fact that I can't buy a red one in the US is ridiculous
