I too just picked up and tried out my OC71 Fleshhead. Nyarlathotep is its name. I am very happy with this pedal. I was a bit blown away by how much ground this pedal covers. Nyarlathotep goes from a 1966 waspy sound to a fuzz-face type timbre but with a crystal clear and more punishing bass. I cranked my amp and Nyarla all the way, and it actually scared me. People say this all the time as hyperbole, but I thought I might blow up my amp and thus ruin a Fargen MiniPlex MKII. The sound it produces at this volume is the heaviest I have ever gotten. It rumbles like a bass through a stack and I was worried that my 1X12 speaker would not be able to take it. I play a strat with a very weak bridge pickup and this thing punished me. I love the sound at this volume.
Dave, could the Fleshhead actually blow up my amp? I am in all seriousness scared for my amp to play the Fleshhead through it at this volume--but I really want to.
