Mastotron : Great on guitar AND bass

I bought the Mastotron about two years ago after doing a little research on Youtube on fuzz pedals for electric guitars. I wanted to get a pedal that could do vintage Hendrix like fuzz distortion but also heavy distorted sounds associated with Stoner Rock, Sludge and so on. The Mastotron can do all those things!

It features four knobs to control volume, tone, pulse width and fuzz. You can get a lot of different sounds out of this pedal. For example, if you turn the pulse width all the way up and add a some fuzz the sound of your guitar will remind you of 8-bit chiptune music. There is also a relax-push knob to adjust the Mastotron to the amount of output from your pickups. I can easily switch between my Strat with single coils for bluesy stuff to my Ibanez RG with active humbuckers for heavier tones.

And the best thing: since I also play the bass it's just like the much more expensive Wooly Mammoth fuzz for bass guitars. It doesn't really lack any low end and sounds just great. I really like it's sound combined with a wah pedal.

Besides that, the Mastotron is a sturdy pedal. After two years the knobs are a little hard to read, but that's not really a problem. HOWEVER, I really hate that the power input is placed just a few millimeters away from the input jack. That means that i can't turn the input cable any way i want to which can be really inconvenient when setting up a pedalboard. But that's just nitpicking, I highly recommend getting the Mastotron both to guitar and bass players.
