TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz

Description
The TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz effects pedal brings you back to the 1960s with vintage fuzz tones inspired by those iconic silicon fuzz pedals that shaped the sound of rock. With Rusty Fuzz, you can tap into smooth, responsive gain that dynamically reacts to your playing. Dial in the amount of gain you want with the Hot knob, from mild overdrive to full-on fuzz. Shape your tone further with the volume control. The Rusty Fuzz's versatile controls make it easy to conjure up heavenly sustain à la David Gilmour or get aggressive Velcro-ripping fuzz for searing solos.
Respond Dynamically to Your Playing With Smooth Gain
The Rusty Fuzz has a smooth, organic gain structure that responds to your dynamics, cleaning up beautifully when you back off on the guitar's volume knob. Dig in harder or roll up the volume and the fuzz kicks in with singing sustain and rich harmonic overtones. The pedal excels at those soaring lead tones, while also sounding fantastic as an always-on pedal to add character and touch sensitivity to rhythm playing.
Shape Your Tone With Versatile Controls
Dial in the precise fuzz tone you want with the Rusty Fuzz's intuitive controls. The Hot knob lets you set the overall gain, from mild overdrive to ripping full-on fuzz. The Volume knob adjusts the output level. Find sweet spots at lower volumes for singing leads or crank it for raw power. The Tone knob tailors the EQ from dark to bright. With this versatile tone shaping, you can conjure up fuzz tones ideal for any style.
True-Bypass Design Preserves Your Tone
When it comes to fuzz pedals, you want great tone when the pedal is on but also when it's bypassed. The Rusty Fuzz uses a true-bypass design that ensures no tone sucking when the pedal is off. Your direct guitar tone flows straight to the amp for maximum fidelity. You get the best of both worlds—iconic fuzz when engaged and pristine clean tone when bypassed.

Great classic rock slice!
Wow!!! I was either going to get this thing or a fuzz face And I am very glad I went this route... The plug both of them in and this one had more of a bite to it. A lot of fuzz distortion pedal's sound almost like a bass note being blasted through construction paper. There's not a whole lot of clarity to it and if you have a bunch of notes played at the same time... it's going to sound like mud. However this thing was completely different! Sounds almost like a cross between the old grunge boss distortion pedals that they used back in the 90s and a Dunlop fuzz face Hendrix reproduction. You can do a full six string cord and it will blend together without any sort of Missing frequencies. I have this going through an ES 175 And a Vox AC 15 And it is given me the perfect reproduction of the black keys and Wolfmother sounds. Very professional, very high-quality and really great sounding!

I wouldn't buy this item again.
For about a month this fuzz pedal worked well and I was happy with it then it just stopped working. The pass through worked fine but in the fuzz mode nothing, not a sound. I replaced the battery and it didn't help. I bought a TC- Helicon 9V power supply and it didn't help either.

Does this work with a mini amp and would I need any special cords/cables?
This will work with any amp that accepts a 1/4 inch instrument cable
