boom--hit & you're there.  no noise--i have his brit bender too.  his fuzz tone rips--no buzzes.  i use a fuchs or a divided by 13.  this won't sound right, but the effect has a clean feel to it when you hit it.  no mess with what your amp is doing.  not muddy at all--clear sound.  an "alive" effect

he builds good stuff.  you pay more, & you're getting more too.  just take care of your stuff.

you do not need to turn this effect up much at all to get the effect working.  there is plenty of fuzz/octave as you boost, but with hardly any boost, this effect is there.  he uses top components in all his effects--there is a difference.  you do need to play with it, because octave effects are different in a way with their application to your style.

he's quick with emails.  has good info & sound clips on his site.  mjm is the company.  he doesn't slack on his quality.

i checked out other octave effects.  i thought this one had better quality to it, & i think i'm right.  i'm not knocking other octave/fuzzes, i like his stuff.  he has a good ear & probably is a good player too--he may have done the clips himself.  compared to a fulltone, this effect i felt was more "alive".  the fulltone sounds good.  but mjm effects have something else "happening" when you use them.  since i've found him, i'll get his vibe next--just need to save up.
