I bought a Skreddy Supa when they first came out and at the time did not like it very much. Seemed like a wooly Big Muff and have found that I’m not huge into the Big Muff sound. I do love the lead fuzz on Edwyn Collins track, but am concerned I’ll just neglect it if it does have Muff sound.

Well thats a difficult one . Obviously its a Jumbo circuit so will be muffy BUT - this is a DAM made Jumbo circuit that is certainly NOT a woolly muff sound - - with the tone rolled back your legs go weak and at full tilt your face peels off !
I'd be pretty F&*^%ing amazed if you could neglect this one :) - its pretty much uneglectable
Having said that - buy the black and gold one if you have the cash - that one rips your nuts off and leaves them in the next room
:)
in conclusion : I think it's quite good

Well - what a ride that was !
It started many years ago with Sola Sound making 'the French case' and using it to house the 3 in a line Jumbo Tone Bender circuit .
They seemed to fly under the radar a bit really , maybe in the shadow of the Colorsound version.
Then Edwyn used his B&M fuzz unit on ' Girl Like You' and a few people got excited .
Years later we got together and decided to replicate that pedal that put fuzz tones back in the limelight when everyone was going digital .
Think that's when I heard the story and saw the remains of the 'U' sticker over the '&' of B&M and the Sola Sound BUM fuzz was born.
First the total historically correct Edwyn Collins version , then the incredible Blue Moon , maybe the best silicon fuzz pedal ever built with our name on it - maybe the best silicon fuzz ever - who knows .
Then the one-offs . We'd let the painters and printers run riot so there were a bunch of funky color combo one-offs.
Then of course the Cheap Ass - so proud of that one . Anyone who complained that we were starting to make pedals for Dentists - thank you - you brought this to life !
And here we are at the end of the run
there are about 20 Edwyns left
about 10 Cheap asses
and these freakin' incredible customs
The white one - a fitting end to project
Once they're gone . . it's over
Until we do it again . . . . . but it took 30 years last time .
Huge thanks to Dave for voicing these monstrous bangin' fuzz machines and to Danny who built most of them .
:)
btw - Merry Xmas - hope it rocks
