On another note, I am expecting the limited edition Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face tommorow. Anxious to see how that performs with my Class 5
I'm interested in hearing what you think. I've been using a WH Swollen Pickle and it's ok, but it really only has one usable setting for me and that's everything dialed low which makes it more of an OD than a fuzz. I'm looking for something else.

My initial impressions for about 3 hours of playing with it. Nice COA , limited edition of 2300 pedals. This is for the Fuzz Face Pedal. Mine is in the low 600's.
The build is a typical MXR type pedal, cheaper it seems than the older ones but still nicely made. Nice paint job.
Initial impressions of limited use with it is really nice. Lots of usuable tones, sustain and work wonderfully with my BG wah. Still need to do alot of experimenting with it but it looks like this will find a spot on my board. Once I get more use with it, I'll follow up.

I started with the Boss SD-1, which a lot of people recommend for the C5, but swapped to the Fulltone OCD which I like much better. The tone range is all usable, it has more drive, and sounds very organic.

I originally had a Fulltone OCD but switched over to a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret MKII and couldn't be happier with the results...

I have really gotten to love the Catalinbread RAH. It has a unique tonal character and does so much more than just Zep, but I love Zep so it was an obvious choice for me. This is my first Catalinbread pedal and I can tell you it wont be my last, really digging it.
