The coolest of the distortion variety that I own. I know it has been said many times before. All other fuzzes I own are subtle comparitively. I used to think that my Fender Blender was the most insane. It is pretty crazy but unusable for most applications. The Factory is true bypass which permits it to be on my pedal board even when not in use.

My setup is pretty simple. Guitar (Homebuilt Tele with SD JB humbucker in the bridge and an SD Jazz neck humbucker)>EB Volume>MXR Distortion II>Fuzz Factory>Misc pedal>Super Chile Picoso>Super Reverb.

Everybody has said it before about the Factory. It is still not old news. It adds an edge that other pedals don't offer. I use it for those moments necessary over-the-top tone. MBV in a box. Jimi woulda used these things.

Great design from an electronics standpoint. Few components to fail unpredictably. Rugged enclosure. True Bypass. Coolest germanium fuzz since the Fuzz Face.
