This Gary Fuzz/Overdrive is a real character pedal. It's perfect for players wanting a gnarly, modern fuzz sound with a usable, complementary overdrive – think noisy, experimental rock or even adding grit to heavier styles. The build quality is excellent, and the Flexi-Switch adds a surprising amount of flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

OOSH modulates the fuzz's pulse width, adding a warbling, almost phasing effect. It takes a little experimentation to find sweet spots, but it's a core part of the pedal’s unique character.
While the overdrive section is natural-sounding, it's not designed as a transparent boost. It's intended to add a noticeable amount of gain and character to your signal.
The Flexi-Switch allows you to run the fuzz and overdrive in series, parallel, or individually, providing a wide range of tonal possibilities and blending options.
