What's better than a great sounding fuzz? How about one that offers killer midrange control, high pass filtering on the input and three types of 'character' clipping and more. That'll be this one, the Black Swamp Flexible Fuzz / Overdrive. And flexible indeed it is. I've used a Jag for this video because of its gentle pickups that give Mr Swamp room to breathe. I'm a little bit besotted by this pedal, but I have to say that all of the Thorn Soundlabs gear I've tried thus far has been really good. From Nashville, with fuzz.

Apologies for the weird camera focus thing on the pedal towards the end of chat segment. Sometimes cameras just decide to go their own way..
