Electro-Harmonix Satisfaction Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal

I should have probably listened to the reviews on this pedal and realized that the high boost was going to give me would be a tough thing to work around. While it does match the sound of the of the satisfaction recording pretty faithfully, I find it hard to believe that maestro fuzztone pedal that was used at the time boosted the highs like this guy does. More than likely the EQ on the amp Keith Richards was using had more to do with it. If you were to add an EQ after the pedal and use it in conjunction with it I have no doubt you could get some great fuzz tones, as of right now in it's current state with out a tone knob or anything to control the EQ it's a little too harsh for my ears. Running into a fairly clean and flat-ish EQ on a Fender Twin Reverb. But I don't think a pedal should require another pedal or effect to sound good. I bought this pedal expecting to get a maestro fuzztone clone, and while I have no doubt it comes pretty close, it definitely requires some tweaking out of the box.

back in the sixties a group of rolling stones started to play a song and it had the (at first)weirdest sound . I was playing guitar back then and I had nothing to sound like that . no mater what I did nothing worked so I started looking for speakers with a broken voice coil. then a class mate and good friend fellow player had this little device by Vox you plugged into the amp then from the guitar to the device. it was turned on by a slide switch. what a wonderful sound the fuzz was born. Now playing i had all kinds of switches, boxes but not that real fuzz box sound until now. sounds like the sixties all over again. great addition.
