I too just picked up and tried out my OC71 Fleshhead. Nyarlathotep is its name. I am very happy with this pedal. I was a bit blown away by how much ground this pedal covers. Nyarlathotep goes from a 1966 waspy sound to a fuzz-face type timbre but with a crystal clear and more punishing bass. I cranked my amp and Nyarla all the way, and it actually scared me. People say this all the time as hyperbole, but I thought I might blow up my amp and thus ruin a Fargen MiniPlex MKII. The sound it produces at this volume is the heaviest I have ever gotten. It rumbles like a bass through a stack and I was worried that my 1X12 speaker would not be able to take it. I play a strat with a very weak bridge pickup and this thing punished me. I love the sound at this volume.

Dave, could the Fleshhead actually blow up my amp? I am in all seriousness scared for my amp to play the Fleshhead through it at this volume--but I really want to.

sounds like you need a hiwatt. :0)

c'mon, somebody give me serious answer: can a fuzz pedal actually blow up an amp?

Good! 'cause I'm going to run this thing full on! Apparently, the sound of this pedal achieved its intended psychological effect, at least on me. I didn't know how a pedal could damage an amp, but this thing is sounds so wicked I figured that I better ask you guys before I soon enough found out!

I think you now have the answer to your earlier post JD....

Agreed!

Yog-Sothoth can do doom.
