Description Country/Region of Manufacture: United States MPN: Does Not Apply Brand: umi To Fit: Electric Guitar Model: Buzz Tone UPC: Does not apply
The UMI Buzztone "Expands" upon the typical fuzz pedal, allowing for two different stages of overdrive. The first stage, which cannot be bypassed, is essentially a volume boost. Once the pedal is engaged the contour controls the tone, and the buzz controls the amount of fuzz. This simple circuit with (2) germanium transistors is extremely unique, and really sounds unlike any other fuzz produced at the time, so whether you fancy yourself a fuzz fanatic or a collector of special musical tools, this is definitely something worth owning.Condition:

some of the lettering is somewhat rubbed off

I have described this item as best as possible. Any questions please ask. Thank you for reading the description. Please mention the phrase "Green M&M's" in the invoice upon payment for proof of it.
