This ain't your old man's classic rock overdrive. The Subdecay F-Bomb has more gain than you will ever need. It's balls to the wall fuzz with the drive knob at noon. It's not "open," "transparent" or "warm." The F-Bomb is the antithesis of everything the establishment thinks you should want in a dirt pedal. It's compressed. It can get sloppy. Turning this thing on is like running naked in to the boardroom and punching "the man" in the face.
