    • Fuzz/Tremolo in one pedal, but it’s definitely weirder than that
    • 4 knobs - Volume, Space, Time, and Gravity. Weird sounds controlled by your guitar’s volume knob
    • 3 modes
      • Fuzz/Trem: Play soft to activate the tremolo and clean up fuzz, hard to blow it up and no trem
      • Tone Generator: Makes noises even if nothing in the input, but with guitar they “meld into one”. Volume controls the pitch of the tone and other weirdness
      • Normal: Basic fuzz/drive with complex harmonix.
    • 9-18V, handmade, true bypass.
    • $169
