SF300 Super Fuzz : Different than expected but very good

I listened to a few demos online before buying. I was always smitten with the sound of Live At Leeds and Electric Wizard. From online demos I expected a wilder, more sputtery, uncontrolled sound. I was surprised that the sound, although extreme in most settings, is still somewhat more controlled, than other fuzzes - hard to describe. Also riffing in the low registers and playing a solo around the 12th in standard tuning has a few pitfalls - the octaving effect sometimes kicks in on certain notes, that you do not want it to.

I suspect the "sputteriness", known from Electric Wizard records, is due to their detuning. With a detuned guitar this will definitely get you there.

After getting used to the nature and settings of this pedal I am more than happy with it. You can definitely get the sounds from the records and at this price point, who could complain!

Everybody writes about the plastic casing - I don't think I will break it. If I'd have something to complain, it is the opening mechanism for the battery compartment. You need to press a plastic rod into the casing, with a pencil or screwdriver to open it. The Boss solution seems much better. If you do not use batteries you won't have this problem of course.
