I also own Pro Tone's "Starfire Fuzz" and this is a different beast altogether. The tone is different than the "Starfire" so it's another useful texture. I can't explain exactly what the tone does with the fuzz control but it's cool. The tone control acts differently depending on where the fuzz control is at. VERY cool. I like the fuzz around 4 o'clock with the tone cranked up. Another cool thing is when the fuzz is around 4:00 to all the way up it introduces more bass, which is why I like to crank the tone up for high end grit with a fat bottom end. Just beautiful, really. You can get those dark, "Fudge Tunnel" tones by backing off the tone knob, too. Another True bypass pedal and nice and quiet while on...Dennis asked me if it was "too gated" so he's got something going on in there. NOT a gate where it slams shut, but...I don't know, I love it.

The sweet spot for me is 11 o'clock on the Tone and 2 o'clock on the Fuzz. I get a thich, creamy, almost octave down tone. This really is tone heaven. As stated before , it's easy to dial in a range of usable tone. I wouldn't say your classic fuzzes are in this box, but thats not what it's about or marketed as.
