Melxowtone?

I've seen this (most recently in the pics thread) and have always wondered exactly what it did... I could probably find it on the Mellowtone site, but frankly, I'm lazy. Who's got one, and what does it do?

it's a simple distortion/fuzz based on (i believe) the old electra circuit. there were ah... 50 (?) made for Harmony Central members who signed up, and they each chose their own color pattern for the socks and background. input, output, no knobs (internal volume trimmer), battery only, full on r awk. they were only $35 suggested, i paid a little more because offering a pedal for $35 is crazy dude shoulda got a medal.

i let the battery in mine die almost completely and use it in the effects loop of a moog delay. so sick sounding. :animal:

tweedbassman got it. theres actually just 40. they were $35 plus shipping donation. it is based on the electra distortion but with more gain so tis mroe of a grungey fuzz.

here's an audio demo.....nothing exciting on the playing front, I was just trying to show the range of tones and levels of dirt just using pickup selection and tone/volume controls on the guitar. :bob:
