This pedal is available with two different paint jobs, the one I got is the whacked-out owl, the other one available is a cool aliens with hatchets design.
This pedal is pretty simple, the knob on the right is labelled "bandwitch" and it controls the level, the knob on the left is labelled "rams" and it controls the gain. The pedal has two footswitches, the one on the right is labelled "pron" and it switches the gain boost on and off, the one on the left is labelled "gewgle" and switches the effect on and off. The pedal does not take a battery, it's got an 9-volt adaptor plug on the right-hand side of the pedal that takes a standard Boss adaptor or one like it.
The pedal has a warm, touch responsive overdrive when switched on and the boost is disengaged. At lower gain settings it's fairly transparent with a big bottom end, as the gain is increased a fuzz-like overdrive becomes more apparent, with a increased bass, lots of lower-mids, and a mellow high end. With the gain cranked it sounds alot like a germanium Fuzzface on a 3-o-clock setting, offering a fuzzy warm overdrive with an emphasis on the lower mids and bass. With the boost switch on it's becomes a high gain fuzz/distortion with a balanced wide frequency response and slightly nasel tone, with endless sustain and the capacity for feedback drenched soloing. The overall vibe of the pedal is Boutique fuzz-flavored overdrive with the boost off, while with the boost on it's over-the-top distortion with a vintage fuzz flavor.
This pedal is one of the less expensive Dwarfcraft Devices pedals available and offers two channels of decidedly Boutique-flavored tone. Recommended for those who like a little fuzz in their overdrive.
