MXR M173 Classic 108 Fuzz Stompbox
Product no: ABM-MXRM173 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The MXR M173 Classic 108 Fuzz is a classically rich sounding, analogue effects pedal designed to give your guitar a raw and sweltering, distortion-based edge. To build the M173, MXR have loaded the contents of its legendary Fuzz Face into a brand-new and practical stompbox housing so guitarists the world over can mount it on their pedalboards. Not only that, this Classic 108 Fuzz is equipped with a little battery compartment as well as a power supply input.

Features of the MXR M173

Just like its famous ancestor, the fresh-faced M173 Classic 108 Fuzz is equipped with two straightforward controls to tweak the volume and the amount of distortion. This true bypass effect pedal comes coated in vintage turquoise and has been equipped with a solid footswitch, as well as a buffer to keep the fuzz clear and any oscillation caused by certain wah pedals out.

Heel leuk ding, zeker met single coils. hij wordt niet modderig, blijft altijd zuiver maar heeeel erg vuil. top ding van MXR. (werkt helemaal ander met een transistor amp)

Fuzz face achtig pedaal. Pedaal heeft meer output dan een fuzzface. De buffer switch is een mooie aanvulling voor het gebruik met een wahwah , of als een soort tone mode. Met de buffer switch ingeschakeld is tone niet alleen iets helderder maar werkt ook nog beter met je volumeknob.
