It's been around for over fifty years, but the fuzz pedal is still one of the coolest sounds in rock. 😎🎸🎸

One of my favorite songs of all time, about half a year ago I couldn't even play guitar and my one was collecting dust; but when I found you, ally my problems are solved. I can now play things like this to stuff like tears in heaven! I didn't think I would make it this far, and it's all because of you! keep rocking 🎸🤘 Love your content.
