160 euros isn't a small sum, but it comes with free worldwide shipping

but at that price, only volume and gate knobs?

AH! I stumbled upon this guys myspace that makes the pedals. It sounds really good on bass. Almost like the fuzz sits right on top of the clean tone. Amazing!

So who's gonna be the guinea pig

[shinobi]

worth trying, but i'm out for the short run

i like the fact that while this is one of those pedals which are not specifically made for guitar nor bass, the pedal maker is a bass player himself

this is a video of BIG JOHN himself (i would assume) playing sexx laws by beck on the bass

BIG JOHN STRIKES BACK... with the BIG JOHN HAIRY BALLS FUZZ & BOOST



now with a BOOST. still only a 'gate' knob for fuzz tone shaping. but their site claims

Everything is possible:
1) clean preamp
2) tube growl
3) distortion effects like a chain saw
3) high gain fuzz
4) synth like effects with the gate control!
