One of the original members here ... it's been a long time! Checking back in here to see about the new pedal definitely brought back some good memories. I'd definitely be curious to check one of these out. Bjorn is the fuzz master.
Get in where you fit in.

Hi,
Indeed the fun continues and I am very interested in feedback on the units.
There might be a second batch and that we shall see.
Meanwhile I am mulling some more fuzz experiments as in Tone benders and more
This weekend I'll be going to Finland and Custom-Sounds to lecture for two days and this will be streamed onto Custom-Sounds facebook
Have fun and thanks
BJ

Had some time with the SF over the last two days. For reference I used an R8-->Carr Impala
Overall this box has a ton of versatility.. works great as a gritty boost, nice wide range of overdrive tones, and some girthy high gain FF tones as well. The saturation knob when set CC can brighten up darker amps/settings. It stacked amazingly into the Greer Lightspeed, for some reason though it did not behave with my Klon klone.. buffer issue there?
That's all for now, tired from the Cubs win last night!
FWIW I played it against:
Jerms MKI
BMF electric sunshine
ProAnalog MKII
Sola MKII
BOG FF
KR Gypsy Fuzz
It definitely had some great qualities against them all... different but good
