Greasebox GB-83

Fuzz tones for the musically outrageous and mentally overdriven.

To me its all in that volume control, so if you have it low no there isn't a ton of gain, but when that volume is cranked, oh boy watch out.

I had a chance to really crank the GB-83 this weekend. Wow! It is a pretty dynamic pedal and very usable for a wide range of tones. It worked very well in both neck and bridge pickup positions. I normally prefer germanium transistors but this one really did it for me. Another D*A*M Homerun!!

I was quite surprised with this one, there aren't many silicon transistor equipped devices I go for but this one really did it for me. The BC108 Head Buzz and the Meat Head are about the only other Si fuzz pedals I have.

So I'm really digging the GB-83 slamming into the GB-80 with the 83 maxed out and the 80 at 3/4 wide or so depending on volume. Pretty dynamic duo those two. Double the grease, double the pleasure.
