MXR M296 Classic 108 Fuzz Pedal

Our Take:

Based off of a fuzz of the same name - but housed in a more compact form - the M296 Classic 108 Fuzz uses the same silicon BC-108 transistor as its predecessor to create its gritty tone. With an incredibly user-friendly interface to control the effect - a Volume and a Fuzz control - and a Buffer switch to synchronize with expression pedals, the Classic 108 is a reliable, pedalboard friendly fuzz. 

MXR's Take:

Now in an MXR mini housing, the Classic 108 Fuzz gives you all the same vintage fuzz tones in a much smaller footprint. Like its larger predecessor, it’s loaded with the silicon BC-108 transistor for a round and dirty crunch. This Classic 108 Fuzz also has the same no-nonsense control interface—just crank the Volume and Fuzz controls to your liking and start riffing. Use the Buffer switch on the side to make the fuzz play nice with wah pedals.
