Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
To keep the collection complete this is the second recently reversed BJFE/Bearfoot pedal, drawn up by mmolteratx, thanks again Matt. Again this one sounds great to me. Info about the original: The Bearfoot FX Pink Purple Fuzz blurs the lines. Is it pink or purple? Is it fuzz, overdrive, or distortion? In terms of the … Read more

According to DIYSB … Read more
