Big Muff PI USA : Sounds better than my amp distortion for sure

I didn't know much about fuzz pedals before I ordered this pedal.

I watched a couple of videos and its sound instantly reminded me of the black keys, a sound that I love. So I was instantly convinced that I needed this, although I was in the market for a distortion pedal.

Once I got it, I could dial in some heavy stoner fuzz tones, and I think I can pull off a pretty decent heavy sound now.

In my opinion this works very well for stoner rock, fuzzy psychedelic rock or almost hippie satanic metal... All of which I love, not good for metal though.

So I'm still in the market for a distortion pedal, cause I like to play metal every now and then.

I use this with a orange crush 20rt and it sounds good on the clean channel, but as soon as I put some overdriven gain from the dirty channel it just gets ruined.

Maybe it's not meant to be combined with a transistor amp. Hopefully one day I can test it with a proper valve amp.

Anyway, great pedal, it's inspiring me to come up with stoner songs, thank you electro harmonix.
