The Sinfhoton features three knobs; B, T and
V, which stand for Bass, Treble and Volume. It
feature silicon transistors and two sets of
clipping diodes, and the transistors are
somewhat high gain, making this a meaty,
chewy fuzz that is wholly excellent for hard
rock music. It’s also important to note that
the Sinfhoton has the unofficial distinction of
being the first “gooped” pedal I’ve ever
heard of. This means that the components
are slathered in a thick black sludge to
discourage would-be copiers. Montarbo
apparently didn’t do a very good job–
Creepy Fingers offers a Sinfhoton clone.
BARNES AND MULLINS FUZZ UNIT
In a strange twist of fate, Colorsound

is unlike anything Colorsound offered (only
the Supa Tone Bender was anywhere close).
The pedal is almost a cross be
