This is Paul Gilbert's current squeeze; Majik Box's Fuzz Universe. The fuzz boxes of yesterday had a singular objective of churning out those woolly, fuzz voicings in the attempt to imitate the product of an amp driver's torn effect. There's limited appeal in terms of clarity but it was a hit, even Jimmy Hendrix favoured one for himself. The situation today is such that fuzz boxes have undergone refinements in terms of clarity & intensity/ gain, as typified by the MB here. The dual channel offering means there's more than one tone to be had & that's before you put it in use with your amp's drive. If you are into gobs of distortion, maybe this one's not for you. Don't forget, this is an official Paul Gilbert-endorsed product so the $420 price tag might be too much for some of us. Available at Davis GMC.
