Showing off my grunge pedal

I hope this is where I post this:
Every time I go to Seattle, my first stop is a secondhand music store called The Trading Musician.
(last I heard they shut down)
I'm looking around at the effects pedals and I see this box with grunge distortion written on it, and of course I have to buy it.
Got this puppy home and plugged it in to my amp and it just about shredded my speakers.
So, after my neighbors went to work, I played a quick bass riff and sat down to my drums and then set up my Les Paul and jammed out for a few hours.

One of the more infamous pedals, I believe.
I do kinda want one just for its own sake, but I already have the Danelectro clone (the Fab Metal). I recently managed to get those dodgy chinese Gonkulator and Carcosa copy/clone things too.

Cool, dang that's a lot of fuss over a distortion pedal, someone must have given him a hard time for having a grunge pedal. If it was called the mass metal pedal or something
it would still be on the market.
