This is a great pedal, if you use it the way it's intended to be used. Don't expect a big muff variant, a fuzz face clone or anything that's out there. The fuzz side on its own is a bit muddy and not that defined, but once you pair it with the lasso side, it becomes a totally different beast with tons of definition and grit. Forget the cowboy theme - this is in essence a great design-your-own shoegaze pedal. Slap some delays and reverbs on the lasso side, and you're in for a treat. Highly recommended for shoegazers and sonic adventurers.
