The Fulltone Mas Malo Fuzz effect pedal is manufactured in the USA and has a fully analog circuit with three hand-selected NOS BC184C transistors. Accordingly, the pedal convinces with a massive, malicious fuzz sound that can be perfectly adjusted. The heat control controls the gain of the first transistor, while the distortion control regulates the general degree of distortion. Furthermore, the treble and bass content of the signal can be adjusted via the Colour control.
