Electro-Harmonix Satisfaction Plus Fuzz Pedal Reviews
Never a brand to rest on its laurels, Electro-Harmonix equipped the Satisfaction Plus with the vintage-inspired snarl of the original Satisfaction Fuzz and supercharged it with a dramatically expanded control section. All of the original’s fizzy fuzz is present on the Norm setting, but a quick flip over to Fat unlocks a thick, bass-heavy fury that would make any ’60s-era guitarist thoroughly unsatisfied with their primitive pedal setup. Once you’ve chosen your preferred setting, the active til-shift EQ Tone control and voltage-sag-inspired Bias knob give you the power to sculpt your sound. One foot in the past and one foot in the future: the Satisfaction Plus Fuzz Pedal takes a classic Electro-Harmonix creation, then cranks it up to the next level!

Fuzz-in Awesome
Love the Fat switch, a great upgrade from the original version.
These units are faulty, NOT Sweetwater's fault, however. Happened with another vendor, too!
I just read another review about this, and I experienced the same exact thing. I feel as if either the EHX promo video was inaccurate or there is an issue with the pedals upon shipping. I understand the bias control is supposed to "sputter" when moved to the left, but there is crackling....not sputtering. Unfortunately, it appears that EHX has an issue on their hands. I'd love to play the pedal, if it works, but this seems to be a trend with this particular one.
Not For Me !
I LOVE Fuzz! I have a number of different Fuzz pedals. And after listing to a number review and video clip I was really interested in this one. The biggest surprise was the popping and crackling in the "BIAS" pot when sweeping left to right and back again. I thought I had a bad unit. After talking to Sweetwater support they inform me that this is normal :-( I have other Fuzz pedals with "BIAS" knobs that don't snap, pop and crackle like Rice Krispies. I feel that Electro-Harmonix could do better.
The other issue: I didn't like the sound. It sounded thin and brittle even when adjusting the tone down and flipping the fat switch. I have several Tone Benders style pedal that do the 60's sound much better than this pedal. I suggest looking at something else. But, you mileage may vary.
I give Sweetwater 5 Stars… They were super helpful as always.
