Fuzz incoming

[Agileguy]

So the Arcane NKT213 came in a day early - joy of joys! I played it with a bunch of different guitars into my Mesa Mark IIB Coliseum on the clean channel.

HOLY. SHIT. This thing is amazing. Even though I probably played this thing for a few hours, I'm not going to try to do a full review of it because A) I didn't play it loud enough to really let it open up, and B) I'm going to shoot for making some clips tomorrow.

For now, I'll say that it has some muff-ish characteristics - mainly the overall level of gain and how huge it can sound. But it's a different kind of huge from a big muff. It doesn't have the booming low end of a triangle muff - it's more lean, like a ram's head muff. It's got way more mids than any stock big muff, and the mids are just ripping. And the top end isn't smooth like a muff - it's not overly bright, but it's got an amazing clarity that lets chords shine through in a way that many other fuzzes can't manage.

Hopefully I'll get to make some clips tomorrow - I also want to compare it to the other fuzzes I have on hand, so that should give a good idea of what this fuzz is capable and where it sits in the world of fuzz.
