A lot of people think it is related to a fuzz face, while it somewhat is, I would say it is its own thing.

It turns signals into \"fuzzy\" synth tones, often producing sub-octaves, octave-up harmonics, or gated, decaying sounds reminiscent of retro video games or industrial modular synths. Can self oscillate, meaning make pitches and wobbling frequencies on its own with no guitar string manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehow would I describe the feel and texture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethis unit is sort of in a league of its own, there is nothing quite like it.
