The Mudhoney is a Distortion/Fuzz pedal with a very wide tonal range. It features a typical 3-knob gain/volume/tone layout plus a boost switch. With the boost off it is quite impressive; very thick tone with warmth that could quickly find its way to being your main dirt for jazz, blues, etc. Then push the boost and crank up the gain! Your speakers will cry for mercy. Hit it with the bridge pickup of a Les Paul and get sustain of Spinal Tap proportions. Chords are a menacing wall of sound but yet unlike its name would imply, the Mudhoney doesn't get muddy and muffled. Note and harmonic separation is impressive giving a very dimensional sound at gain levels where most pedals sound flat
