The past 2 weeks have been an exercise in repurchasing pedals I regret selling during earlier adulthood including the Fender Blender Custom (reissue) and Zoom Ultra Fuzz. I ended up finding examples of both in great condition with original boxes and papers. Both will be cascaded when the second of the two arrives for a full-on noisy fuzz-gasm.

Good to hear that. I switched to strat last year so the reference should be the same.

I love mine too. It's an amazing guitar at that price point. Super versatile and sounds great. Enjoy!
it's wonderful! i really like it so far :)* :)* :)*
such good value at the price point for sure
came pretty nicely set up, gotta change to higher gauge strings and get used to the trem which feels a lot ~tighter than my jag (which make sense)

I’ve thought on occasion about flipping my Ultra Fuzz but I really love some of the subtly broken underfuzz textures it can do.

Bought a Virus from Jero. God damn it's great!! I really love the entire range from this device, it does so many things I like, and some fairly unique octave sounds.. I would recommend it to anyone who wants something unique that goes from drive to filthy octave up. Well done Jero

I bought a used JMT synth on Reverb yesterday - not the exact model I was interested in, but it was heavily discounted and the new ones I wanted are kind of expensive, especially considering that it's hard to figure out which exact unit will come closest to meeting your needs.

I'm looking at the Rucci drone boxes now (mini and maximal) and didn't realize there's a 30 day build time. Sigh. That's not GAS-positive.
