Borne from a hybrid of earlier ideas to be friendly with lower output pickups and clean amps, the CHTHONIC Fuzz reminds me of a mix of old-school things like the Treble Booster, Fuzz Face and a little bit of Big Muff. This fuzz has great ’clean-up’ qualities. You only need to back off your guitar’s volume one or two notches to get the twang. Crank that same volume up all the way and you’ll get the thick and singing wang. What’s not to love?
