Thanks. Pretty tempting, but I just can't make myself pay 4x for a backup what I paid for the original. :-/
I guess that's what they used to retail for, but I got mine when Sam Ash was blowing them out.

Well finding a pedal for $10 is nearly impossible. You could always use this one as your main pedal and the $10 one for a backup if that makes you feel better

Does it? I never thought of it as a fuzz pedal...The FX55B is my other favorite, although it almost belongs in the fuzz thread, no?

To my ears, anyway
I'd run it volume about 9-10 o'clock, tone all the way down, distortion all the way up. It has been a while though. . . gotta fix the scratchy pots and battery hookup and start using it again, obviously.

If read people singing their praises. Good to know you endorse them.
I see them often on GC used for $20. Be under $30 with tax, and shipping. 3 times OK?

I might do that.
I should mention that I like it a lot, and I've had lots of folks try it out, but I'm the only one I know with the same affliction for it.

I quite like the OD side of the Jekyll&Hyde.
As for distortion I love the TC Dark Matter.

Hard to pick just one. My all time fave is probably the SIB Varidrive.
Unfortunately, I haven't used it much on my regular board, as it doesn't play well with the EF86 channel on my Valvetech. I still use it on all kinds of stuff in the studio though.
Right now, I use my RAT 2 more than anything else. I have an MXR Classic OD which I use (I think it's in the Wylde OD position) for the "just a little dirt" sound.

Let's see........ my go to dirt box is a Fulltone GT500, but I have a couple others in my board as well. I bought a Hardwire Valve distortion that I like, and I also have a Golden Cello box. Straight OD? I have a Bad Monkey, and a Rocktron Austin Gold. That one I bought secondhand for 10 bucks after I played with one at a freind's house. Sounded great with my Strat and now it's basically welded into my rig.

Yep.
Here's mine. Regular old Shimano SPD.
Next favorite is this one.
It is a highly adjustable Rat clone. Lots of great tones.
Third is this one:
I have tried other fuzz circuits but like this one best.

I'll go with the Wampler Pinnacle.
