Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio Fuzz. A reproduction of his 'Cheese Wedge'. Bought it new off the bay early last year for $115. At first, I'd thought I had issues with it, but turns out most were due to an inexpensive power supply I have since returned. I don't use it a lot, mainly when I feel like being Norman Greenbaum. But it is an extreemely powerful sound, feels very quality when you inspect it and manipulate the pots.

This is actually the first pedal I bought. It wasn't at the top of my list for pedals, a Tubescreamer was, but I researched and decided the price was good enough to justify it.

Many years ago (I was 10) my tutor, name of John Setters, in Wichita, had an early 60's SG and a Twin Reverb. He told me the first things to get after guitar and amp was a fuzz box and a Wah wah pedal. And the sound from this wah and fuzz are exactly what I had had in mind.

I was sure it was truely bypassed when off, but I don't see that mentioned now in the link below.
