- Overall, a generally satisfying experience with a guitar signal. This pedal easily lives up to its name. It offers a considerable amount of flexibility within a select number of Fuzz frequency bands. It is versitile, but not quite to the extent of a Zvek Fuzz Factory. The only serious complaints I have are related to the build.
- Good Points: The knobs are generally very interactive. You can go from heavily gated Sitar/Banjo/Octave up Fuzz without the octave-type sounds to all out static, to standard, classic, or mutilated heavy fuzz tones. There are some settings that allow the gate to be bypassed, which can allow for some real washes of cacophany.
- Bad Points: As another user noted, there are some areas of the "sens" pots that do not seem responsive when the other knobs are at certain postions. The bass frequency content is limited at most settings. The gate doesn't seem to allow for sputtering effects (though I may discover how later). The switch pops audibly if you toggle it with no signal running through the pedal. The stock screws in the backplate are metric and the backplate build looks messy. The instructions do not provide a detailed description of what the "sens" knobs do. Given the switch and certain aspects of the build, the price seems a bit inflated, even if this is an imported pedal in my area of the world.

- This is quite an interesting pedal, and very useful for noise music. You can get a very "normal" distortion out of it, or, as the name implies, a "septic" sound, which is characterized by a very sloppy, clipping type sound. The three different "sens" knobs are very easy to use to dial in just the right amount of "septic fuzz" overal, from a scale of 1 to 10, i'd give it a 9.
- Good Points: Very intersting fuzz sound, easy to use, built by noise musicians
- Bad Points: kind of expensive, not very versatile

- The Green Monster was rebirthed as the "septic fuzz" adding a third "sens" knob over the original, for a total of three independent distortion circuits. The "sens" knobs are essentially intensity controls, with an overall master level. "Sens1" is more like the crackle circuit, blending in as much rust as you'd like; "sens2" is the thin-sounding midrange-y fuzz; "sens3" is the more full-bodied distortion with nice gain, but still not much crispy trebble. The three are pretty predictable in sound, though turning a knob of one even slightly can sometimes dramatically alter the tone of another. In the end, I never used the "septic fuzz" as much as I intended and couldn't justify the 0 price.
- Good Points: solid metal quality construction all-around; small footprint; three independent distortion circuits to be mixed in any varying stages; surprisingly quiet
- Bad Points: annoying metallic MXR-like "pop" on/off switch; no further control beyond the intensities; not very cheap; not for everyone and rare (might result in a royal pain if you must sell like I did); the crackling isn't very good noise... sounds like shitty extreme clipping (but this is pretty subjective)
