yes, very much. when dave said this was going to be the replacement for the 1966 i was afraid it would overlap too much with pedals i already have but he's really created his own fuzz here (again) that stands apart from his earlier two transistor models. i get the TB-00 designation now that I've used it a little more. as stated in the paperwork it came with it really shines with single coils and has enough gain available to scream even with a lower output pickup. good shit!

Got mine in the mail today...It really is a masterpiece, every detail was accounted for. Sounds great, particularly with darker amps. My blackface amps can be a bit brittle with this one but with the tone rolled back it really smooths it up. That is how I like my MKI's through blackface amps as well, turns things into magic.

The cleanup on this fuzz is great, and it has some nice inbetween shades. These transistors are a bit tighter sounding than I usually like but the control makes up for it. The tone is along the lines of my '66 superbee mode, but still a bit different as well. Even if you have an older '66 I would definitely recommend these too, the overlap isn't that apparent.
Dave has made a really unique pedal here and it ranks up there with the best stuff he's done lately (anyone's done for that matter) I like where he's heading...

EXCELLENT WRITE UP modeerf. I've been using it, albeit briefly cuz i just got it, through my 66 fender PR through my relic '56 strat and it sounds amazing!! It works on all point on the attack dial. From a choppy break up to balls out madness! Going to try it out with my nocaster soon. Going to check out some different guitar/amp combos soon with this pedal. Thanks Dave!!

The clean up is ridiculous, gets those very shimmery clean round sounds. What Dave said about elastic makes sence now that played it a bunch. It really covers your guitars sound, no matter if you is tuned down a bit (or a lot) or std tuning. Modeerf is right when he says that these rank up there with the best stuff David has done lately.
