Purchased new a year ago and only used a few times. It's in near-new condition. --Product Description-- The Focus Fuzz Silicon replaces the limited edition germanium transistors with specially selected low-gain silicon transistors, and with various other adjustments to the circuit, it has been able to get surprisingly close to the original sound that was sought after. Built around specially selected low-gain silicon transistors, this original circuit design offers a multitude of exciting and exhilarating tones, effortlessly covering everything from crunchy drive to full-on fuzz. It has a slightly darker and grittier tone, with a slightly wider gain range. Many fuzz pedals only sound good when the gain is maxed out, but the Focus Fuzz Silicon is different. This is a fuzz that sounds great at various gain settings, whether with single-coil or humbucker pickups, clean amps or dirty amps. And the real secret weapon of this pedal is the FOCUS knob. It gradually adds gain, bite, and aggression, firmly pushing the guitar to the forefront. This intuitive control allows you to quickly find your ideal tone, such as smooth sustain and melting fuzz.
