he BSM SPECTRUM Fuzz-Booster is our tribute to Tommy Bolin, guitar wizzard of the 70's, that was not only well known because of his marvelous guitar playing as a studio guitarist on Billy Cobham's spectacular "Spectrum" jazz fusion album from 1973, he was also a worthy follower for Ritchie Blackmore on Deep Purples "Mk_IV". All the time Mr. Bolin had a punchy and "in the face" sound which he created with a Sam Ash Fuzzz unit that had a controlable, treble-boosty character. The BSM "Spectrum" is an copy of the Sam Ash Fuzzz that Tommy Bolin used, down to the oddest details like the "attack" control that can smoothly blend from treble boost to fuzz, while the "spectrum" control manipulates the tone spectrum up to unbelieveable almost six octaves - because of this it should be very easy to find the sound you are yearning for.
