I currently have some pedals on loan from GTRGear, a shop in Holland. One of those pedals is the Cusack Screamer Fuzz.
The Screamer Fuzz is a fuzz and TS-style pedal in 1, they have their own drive/gain control and there's a Level control as well. With the Fuzz control at 0, the pedal acts as a TS, with the Scream down, it's a fuzz, the genius is the combination of both which gets you everything from light boost to thick fat hairy fuzz. I absolutely loved this pedal from the first time I plugged in but the real kicker was the fact that it works behind a buffer!
I recorded a clip to show some different settings on the pedal, used my Haar strat with Suhr pickups into the Masotti on the crunch channel. The settings on each part are below.
Cusack Screamer Fuzz
0:00-0:11 Pedal off, crunch channel Masotti
0:12-0:32 Level 5-Fuzz 0-Scream 5
0:33-1:00 Level 5-Fuzz 0-Scream 10
1:01-1:30 Level 10-Fuzz 0-Scream 5
1:32-1:54 Level 5-Fuzz 5-Scream 0
1:55-2:19 Level 5-Fuzz 10-Scream 0
2:21-2:45 Level 10-Fuzz 5-Scream 0
2:46-end Level 4-Fuzz 4- Scream 4
The last one is my favorite setting, it´s fuzz when you play lightly and gets a TS-character when you dig in, sounds very good imho.
