Frequently Asked Questions
The Flexi-Switch allows for momentary engagement of the fuzz, creating stutter effects or rhythmic pulses – an expression pedal controlling 'GO' would be fantastic.
It's best considered a blended element; it's not a standalone overdrive with independent tonal shaping – it adds a natural grit when combined with the fuzz.
Unlike a traditional tone control, 'OOSH' introduces a more unpredictable modulation, impacting the overall character and adding a chaotic, almost glitchy quality to the sound.
