Sorry I should have filled out some on the description some, I was juggling the cyber and real worlds so I just had some copy & pasta from the info sheet.
Thing is, despite the Shatterbox's startling crapiness I did see/hear a cool machine lurking beneath. I always did like the nature of the fuzz tone just the way the volume is really limited and you have this annoying oscillation kick in when you crank the fuzz dial just totally ruins anything that could have been. The worst part is how it sounds like your slamming into a brick wall when you hit a string. It kinda gates but not like in a cool or usual way. Almost like someone just keeps running in the room and muting your strings as you play. Basically the biasing is beyond fucked up.
So, with Harry you have total freedom. The biasing is wide open, and stable. Its like you're playing with greased up bricks of fuzzy bliss. The transistors in the circuit are both of differing types and were selected to suit the biasing. The tone is heavy, like really fucking heavy but, kinda sharp. It retains a lot of the upper frequencies, it doesn't sound like a dull heavy if that makes sense. It sounds very active and lively but not fluid. Its kinda static in time but in movement? Imagine a huge grizzly bear being attack by bee's....kinda like that. Of course being a Rogue Sound pedal the fuzz at full is very much a tone that means business but it is surprisingly usable. Spooky thing is that it cleans up really well too, better so with single coils. Its a musical and devastating, just a like a hatchet.
Sounds bad ass on bass too. Plays well nice with my ATK and that fucker is active.
Alright. James Bond. Need to know time. When you dance with the devil, you wait for the song to stop. Know what I mean?
